I was wondering if anyone had taken out their headlights from the car before.
I am looking for a pic of the backside of the G35 headlight, such as where the HID ballast is mounted and the inside of the headlight after removing the cover when replacing the bulbs..

Does anyone have such pic?

Thanks in advance.

 

I removed mine recently. If you want to remove the headlamps you have to remove the front bumper. You can also access the headlamp if you remove the front inner fender liner. You can then stick your hand in their. I would suggest though if your are messing with the xenon bulbs and balasts to go ahead and remove the front bumper to be safe.

 

i don't need to remove anything actually, i just want to know what it looks like back there. you didn't happen to take pictures of it did you?

what i am basically looking for is to see where the ballast is mounted on the headlight, i "think" the location is right under the headlight, but i want to verify.

Can anyone verify this with pictures?

 

Yes its under the headlight right under the high beam, no i have not taken pics of it.

 

Don't know if you're looking for coupe or sedan, but they're similar.
This may help.

 

thanks, so the upper light is the xenon light then. Do you have a diagram of the non-xenon headlamp?

And do you know if the HID ballast looks exactly like this one?

 

Yea, thats pretty much it.

 

looks a lot of work if I decide to swap for the '06 headlamps

 

Its actually very easy. You gotta remove the bumper and then there are 4 bolts holding the headlight on. I'd say 30 mins tops if you know how to turn a ratchet.
