Headlight recomendation??
So I need to buy a new set for my 03 350Z because mine are just junk and look bad.
I just need some opinions on what aftermarket headlights are good.
If you have aftermarket projectors or halos let me know if they aredecent and what kind they are
These are my #1 choice right now:

And fog light that go behind the grill:

Dude, just go to Autozone and get the $15 headlight refinish kit. Made mine go from yellow to brand new with just a little work. Don't blow your money on aftermarket lights. Follow the DIY on blacking them out and just refinish the lens like I did.
Those headlights suck. I bought a pair and they shine sraight up. They are completely useless and you can not adjust them in any way, but If you really want a set i'll sell you mine for $100 shipped, but you can not drive at night at all.
The only aftermarket worth something are http://www.ebay.com/itm/TLN-Nissan-350Z-2003-04-05-Halogen-Version-DRL-LED-Projector-Headlights-Black-/380611177058?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item589e31aa62&vxp=mtr
I bought the hid version of these and they shine well and have a location for a stock ballast and you can even fit a slim hid ballast inside of the headlight. Though I only paid $260 for them. They are made by spyder and there is a vendor on here that sells them(not sure of cost)

I would go with the 3M Headlight restoration Kit. I have OEM 06 headlights and the normal wear and tear scratches on the shitty plastic lenses they use on every new car today were driving me NUTS. I like my car to shine, so I invested in the 3M kit, a whole $30.00 give or take a few bucks depending on where you get it.
Long story short, the process takes a few hours to do a tip top job, but it really does work. Don't bother with other restoration kits like Meguiar's. 3M did their's right. If you're not sanding/wet sanding/polishing, then you won't get the best results.
On a side note: You could restore your OEM lenses and sell them for more to offset the cost of replacements. Also, I've been looking for aftermarket GLASS lenses for the 350Z's headlights, has anyone ever seen such a thing yet? My bro was able to find aftermarket Hella headlights for his VW R32 that had glass(better quality than the OEM plastic). Wish they did it this way for the Z33/34 like they did for the Z32

06 Bi-Xenon is definitely the way to go, they look good and definitely performs at night. It may seem like alot now but the actual light output that u get compared to aftermarket is uncomparable. Remember you get what you pay for. But hey its your car and you have to drive it so do what makes u happy.
