In my opinion, they look broken.

Be carefull . Despite their claims of how great they are, they do not have any type of warranty. I only see a 3 day defect note. It seems like they have a lot of legal terms and rules. But at $100.00, you can't expect but so much.

These are actually just black housing. Not really projector headlights. Real projectors cost a lot. I would check out some real JDM sites for projectors. I bought a set like these for my '03 altima. They look sharp but some have problems with moisture getting in. The G is luxury car so my suggestion would be to keep the cheap stuff off of it!

I forgot to mention, headlight overlays made by some pretty reputable companies is a good alternative. Relatively inexpensive. They come in a bunch of different shades.

gmaxim hit the nail on the head. Those are definitely not projector headlamps, they're reflectors. You'd be better off with keeping your OEM lamps. Cheap stuff like that rarely fits correctly and doesn't wear well over time.

If you want to get black housings, just take your stock lights apart and paint them. If you're looking for better lighting, retrofit a set of projectors into the headlamp. It's not that hard, but it does require a good amount of planning.

I have a set of Acura TL bi-xenons ready to go into my stock lamps.... well... when i get my G35 anyways. They're a great projector and I've done 4 retrofits with them. The only thing is that they're a little pricey.
