Installation Help: Black Projector Headlights on a '04
I recently bought a '04 350z base model in Black w/ Black interior.
My overall plan for this car is to black it out...So right away I started ordering aftermarket parts for it.
What I am trying to figure out at this moment is how to install the front headlights.
The Female plugs on my car have a "8-pin" design...While the plugs on both of the headlights have a Male "6-pin" design.
Help! Does someone have a link to an aftermarket adapter or a harness that is made to make this modification work? Or would it have to be a cut/spice type of job? This is my first buying aftermarket parts that are not exactly plug & play so any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
BTW you could've just upgraded to the nicer 06-08 lights. They don't have reflectors for the hi-beams or low-beams so they're already more blacked out:
$499! Sheesh...I was looking for a more cheaper alternative.
Had no idea my car was equip w/ HIDS but it all makes sense now.
I'm going to look around & see if I can find a pair of cost efficient "BlackOut" HID Headlights.
Honestly if you don't want to upgrade to the 06-08 style headlights, you're better off just baking open your stock lights and painting them black yourself. Otherwise you're basically paying $200 for some black paint. Blacking out your stock lights can be done for less that $10.
The 06-08 lights are a pretty nice upgrade. OEM go for over $1k for the pair so when the depo's came out a few years ago it was quite a bargain. If you're going for a "blacked-out" look, 06-08 is the way to go. You can even open up the 06-08 and black out the chrome bits without losing much output (just the turn signal and parking lights).
At first it was all about "Blacking the vehicle out"
Now its basically revolving around being cheap...What I'm really searching for is the cheapest alternative.

Is there a problem with your stock lights? Just paint them.

I hear you can pick up Honda Civics for a reasonable price.

I decided to return the aftermarket "Black Out" headlights to the seller.
I am now waiting on a refund for the amount that I spent on them.
Since only the Left headlight was damaged on the car, I plan to purchase a used headlamp for that side via Ebay.
Right now I am more focused on getting it back together & on the road more than anything.
Of course, there were cheaper lights listed but most of those were either scuffed up on the lens or have broken tabs on the backside.
Since I plan to ride w/ a oem look for a while, I wanted to opt for a clean headlamp w/ little to no damage.
The photos are detailed, which shows the 8-pin Male plugs that are needed to connect to my car.
Also says that they are for HID (Xenon) equipped 350z's...03-05.
However the assembly does NOT include a bulb; Does anyone know what size/type bulb these headlamps use?
Thanks in advance.
