you might be asking a bit much on that. you might have to do a retrofit on your headlights (put projectors from another car into your headlight housing). haven't seen any kits for that one. sorry for the negative post.

I made some projector headlights for my I35 that I'm about to sell.

I retrofitted Acura TSX projectors into them. They also have angel eyes, and OEM ballasts and ignitors attached. You would need to buy a pair of bulbs though (can get a pair of bulbs for $60 or less).

These would be completely plug and play for you. I even have the OEM wire harness plugs so all you would do is unplug the wiring connector from your headlights and plug them into these.

ebay has them. if you cant find them for the i35 try searching for the i30 ones. i ordered some for a total of 150.00 w/shipping and handling. the only problem is the angel eyes are a little dim (cant really see in the day) and the projector beam needs to be adjusted after you install them. it is easier then having to buy projectors, retrofit them and create angel eyes.

The problem with those is that the projectors inside them aren't very good at all. They're definitely not designed for HID either.

If he's got an I35, then he already has OEM HID. He'd either have to convert to halogen (bad), put in an aftermarket HID kit (bad), or retrofit some proper HID projectors in there.

The last option is what I did, actually. I bought the eBay lights and then modified the brackets inside them to accept the TSX projectors. I then mounted the OEM ballasts in the factory location under the headlights and then used OEM wiring harnesses to connect it to the car.

Are you still selling the your light? If so, How much? I have a 02 I35 and wanted to do what you did. I just don't have the time to do a retro.

I was planning on putting them up for sale on various forums and eBay for $500 with the ballasts and ignitors. I might be persuaded to take less, however, to avoid the hassle.

Additionally, it'll probably be another week before I can mail them off; my 2nd set of headlights is about 90% complete as of tonight, so once they're finished I have no use for these.

If you like, you can e-mail me from the address in my profile for further discussion:

Easy in that it's easy to use a dremel, yes.

But hard in using a dremel with precision. And hard to position the projector properly and hard to figure out a way to seal up the rear of the projector.

It's impossible to order new internal parts on these headlights. If you mess up while modifying then you're out of luck unless you want to buy another pair of headlights.

Old thread, I know, but I was wondering what kind of tail lights and license place bulbs you had.

Looks stock to me. Just a blurry night pic. If you get the PIAA high intensity 194's (maybe even 168's) they are extremely bright white. Looks great at night bro.

Would you be able to make some Projectors/Angel Eyes that will support HIDs for a 1999 Infiniti I30? If not, do you know where I can find them?
