Busy weekend, here is what I did.

1.-Change the Air Cabin Micro filter. Time consuming because there are like 10 screws you need to remove first. Pretty easy to do. Level 2 of 10 difficulty.

2.-Change the Halogens for Morimoto HID X35 lights. Level 5 of 10 difficulty.
It will be easier if you have small hands. I decided not to remove the tire/wheel cover. You need a lot of patience when putting the HID bulb back in the projector housing. That was the harder part. I followed the guide below.
You need to drill a 7/8 or 1 inch hole in the lens cover to pass the cables from the bulb to the ballast.

3.-Changed most of the interior bulbs to LEDs. Level 1 out of 10. Very easy. Cheap mod. I bought 10 x T10 LED bulbs and 10 x DE3175 LED bulbs.

Carcarekiosk has awesome videos on how to do a lot of the maintenance.

I still need to do the Parking Brake, VSS bypass. Just need the WIRE Colors.

I think you should be able to find the right wires on page 416 in the AV section.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS SO MUCH!!!!!!

Crap. One of the Morimoto HID lights doesn't come on on the first try. I have to flick the switch once or twice before it works. I was expecting better quality from the Morimotos since they are double the price of the cheap ones.

Need to take it apart to troubleshoot.

What was suggested to me from Kensun when I installed their HID kit was to run the headlight HID's on a wire harness to utilize the power better since our vehicles have Automatic head lights.

:-). I didn't use the relay harness. But interesting that you mention the automatic headlights. That's what I had it on when I did my testing. I read the harness was not needed for our cars.

I have an extra set of Kensun ballast, maybe I will switch them around. If not I will install the relay this weekend.

By the way. The morimoto are a lot brighter than the kensun. Huge difference.

I really don't know how you did it, but there is no way my hand will fit into the back of the headlight housing accessing it from the engine bay. That white cap cover sometimes is a pain to twist open or the other way around It is a lot smoother if you jack the car up and remove the wheel well cover. ( I prefer removing the tire too.)

Also, be very careful messing up that white head light housing cover. (The one that you just drilled ) Infiniti does not sell them as a piece. It comes as a whole headlight housing. You might get those used in Ebay. I think even the Lexus ones will fit! But this piece is scarce.

What I did for Relay harness in mine (for the fogs) was jacked the front up and put it on stands. Removed both front wheels and all of the plastic shields in the wheel wells. Then I found that a crossmember goes from one side to the other and is hollow on the inside. So I put the harness into another layer of wire loom, and fished it through. Now it is hidden from the elements, and fully functional.

That is pretty neat! But I never had a problem with my HID foglight setup directly to the OEM wire harness. I had issue with the low beam HID , but got fixed by installing a relay harness.

Mine was the compplete opposite. It worked great for the first 2 weeks, then a fuse popped. I replaced the fog fuse and it popped again. I then set up the relay harness and had no more issues since

I remember when my car was new, I let a shop worked on my HId foglights. The good thing was, the tech let me watched the installation. I remember he popped the fuse 2x and found out the foglights has reverse polarity? Something like that, and he flipped the polarity connection and sliced it to the foglight and then it worked!

That is how I learned HID stuff. So the next time I upgraded the HiD , I did it myself.

Yeah, I found the reverse polarity too. Plus I had to modify the relay harness to make it longer and the connectors didn't work to the lights themselves, so I had to take them off. No biggie at all. Nice and tight waterproof connections. that's all that matters
