ive been creeping this thread forever and im thinking about getting a set of these for my 05. my base non hid's are HORRIBLE at night! i just hate the extra hassle of having to convert the connectors.

 

Even with HID's 03 05 lights are still horrible for night time driving.

 

Since I got these I've been getting terrible condensation in my driver side head light. I just ordered 10 gram silica packets as a quick fix for winter to see if it helps.I'll let you guys know for those who night be having the same problem due to them not coming sealed correctly.

 

currently on sale on ebay for $233 shipped for the pair! http://www.ebay.com/itm/Depo-Performance-Pair-315-1162PXUSH2-Headlights-For-Nissan-350Z-/331405589984?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3A350Z&hash=item4d294ffde0&vxp=mtr

 

Hi guys has anyone tried something like this?

http://www.ebay.com....=item2a41b49b5a

It looks good. Looks unique and adds the LEDness to 350z. My wife telling me to buy that and put it on.....haha!!

 

Link doesn't work and we already have an ebay headlight thread. 06+ oem or depo oem replacement is what you want. Most ebay headlights are frowned upon.

 

Just wanted to update every one,I put the silica packets in the light and after many rain storms no more condensation (for now).

 

pretty creative thinking i'd say sir

 

Why thank you!

Glad it worked for you. It's not a perminant fix because it will eventually soak up all the moisture it can but hopefully it will last you a while since it's such a pain to get to.

 

Yea thanks man just until the winter is over here in nyc

 

Where's the condensation coming from? Can't you reseal the entire housing?

 

quakerroatmeal whats up brah

 

It's mainly from moisture trapped inside. It can be from a leaky seal or from it being hot/humid when you have the cap off the back side. Then when it cools off it will condensate on the lens just like your drink glass does.

If you have it sealed up good and it's getting int here some silica packets like NOLAGG used will clear it up and hopefully prevent you from having problems again.

 

3 weeks with crazy climate change and rain and still perfect.I did how ever take a heat gun to the light until I saw all the moisture out. a hair dryer won't work well at all, so don't bother unless you have s heat gun.

 

I have an 03 Track (with HID's of course) that I'm trying to swap some Depos on to, and I'm having a problem getting the HID bulb to turn on. Everything else seems to work fine, and I tested it with the old stock bulb, which also did not light up (but does on my stock unit) -- thus it should not be the bulb itself

I thought it was plug n play aside from me getting a D2S bulb, which I did. Did I miss something here? I did notice that my stock connector has 8 pins and the depo connector matches, but is missing a pin (both are that way).

Any help appreciated.

 

Still no moisture, woo.

 

Wait what's the problem?

 

In the depo unit, the HID bulb won't turn on (tested the bulb, and it works fine).

I have an 03 with HIDs stock -- I thought it was plug and play as long as I got the correct bulb (which I did), so I am wondering if there is some sort of mod to the wiring harness or something I have to do to make it work?

Going to try the other depo headlight tonight, and if it works, I know its a problem with the harness on the first depo unit.

 

Is your ground arm doohickey touching the side of the igniter? They used that instead of the little ground strap wire in the 03-05 housings.

 

bit the bullet and bought a set with the ballast and bulbs (aftermarket).

my question is i have 03-05 non hid setup (base, halogen) that was retro fitted with ddm tuning hid kit (original owner, getting rid of these). how will i be able to get these to work since they are 8 pin and the oem halogen was 6 pin? searching online i just need to get a compatible harness and other say i need to do wiring modification. not quiet sure how to approach this as most of the threads are plug and play scenario.
