from talking with Big-Al a while back... the hard part is sourcing the headlights... then again, with Big-Al's mad skills, everything is easy

How much do you think the total cost for the headlight ended up being? Im sure its not that hard to find a totaled q45 since those have been out for years now, can we just take the headlight assembly from them? What else is needed?

I would say it's kind of hard to find a totalled Q45. Also, most salvage dealers sell cars as whole instead of parting them out even if you do find a Q45.

Nissan/Infiniti News website shows the sales numbers for the Q45 and it's been about 250 units a month (less than 10% of the Z's!) ever since it debuted. I don't know why it's not as popular as other cars, I think the interior is amazing and the outside looks pretty good. Nissan has sold about the same amount of 350Zs in their first year as they have of the Q45 for all years of its latest generation.

Pinnacle Nissan and Infiniti parts has the headlight assemblies at about $1,100. I think that's just for one, including the HID parts...
