My new Headlights

[sicwitit]

with all the recent buzz reguarding headlights, I figured I'd post up a couple pixs of what I found in a local junk yard. I got away with them for about $80 each. Before you ask, If there was another set, I would of nabbed them too to offer up here but this was the only Terrano I found, and have seen in a junk yard in the last 6 months.

That sounds like a hell of a deal. I just looked on ebay and someone has them for $700!!!

[miamiheat3332]

i hate you man, they look tight.

[sicwitit]

So.....I think I found another set...at almost the same price

anyone interested?

the ones on Ebay are of the QX4 shape, and won't work on Pathfinders. The ones I have, and the ones I just found are for the 99.5 to 2004 pathy

[sicwitit]

Hey, you early gen R50 guys arn't left out either. I just found these which are super expensive but I'm sure I can track down a more reasonable priced set.

[miamiheat3332]

im interested for a pair for my 02 pathfinder. please let me KNOW!!

Thanks

[Ron Burgundy]

Also interested!

[sicwitit]

I guess I should buy just about every pair I can find for your clowns? I'm leaving for Thailand in a week and will be back early next month. I'll let you guys know how many sets arrived at my door.

[naladude911]

dammmm those are rare, dont get in a car accident lolol

[donald]

man... why are all the cool stuff overseas?

[ganesh21]

Let me know if you have headlight to fit 01 pathfinder.

[SBK03SE]

Oh man! If I could get a cheap set of those, I'd cancel my 850$ Retrofit order.

[sicwitit]

Thanks for all the interest guys, the more sets I find, the more I'll post. It seems like the most interest is centered around the 99.5-2004 pathfinders, so thats what I'll focus on finding. If anyone else has a different year, hit me up and I'll see whats available.

[donald]

noobie here... what's the equivalent for Qx4?

[SBK03SE]

The eBay link is for Qx4

[donald]

yeah, but those look like it's for the "gen1" Qx4 R50 97-00.
the "gen2" Qx4 R50 has the integrated headlamp (headlight + corner + turn)

[SBK03SE]

I don't know where to find 'em but your next option is a retrofit. I got mine professionally done for 850. It could be more or less depending on your options. PM me for contact info.

[rsilva800]

Please put me down for a set for a 01 Pathy.

Two things:

SBK - Is your retrofit complete? I'd like to see pictures of a professional job.

and

Donald - The 2001 QX4 already has HID style headlights no? And if your's doesn't, its definatley available.

[donald]

yes, mine are HID... but they're not projector it's just a "scatter" of light.
i want to nice clean beam-cutoff like all the other projector types

They should be here June 6th. The shop I ordered from was in the middle of relocating when I placed my custom order. Usually they're done in 3-7 business days. I will definitely post pics. It's an FX-R Retrofit, this is essentially the output you should expect.

Poor halogens. LOL. HIDs are a must for me. I've always had 'em, and I'm stuck with halogens on the Pathy for 2 weeks!

[Ron Burgundy]

This thread was getting dangerously close to page 2 and i'm not ready to let it die that quickly.

Anyone have updates?

[SBK03SE]

Hopefully we'll spark some life when I post my retrofit pics. Hopefully we can set up a groupbuy if there's enough interest too!

Update:

So my Japanese friend came back from vacationing in Canada today and I talked with him a little bit. I only have a couple days before I leave for Thailand though so I won't be able to have any sets of lights in hand before I leave.

I want to give you all a worst case, I'm seeing these lights go for 8000 yen to 15,000 yen each (100-170 in dollars)

so, with paying for them to be shipped to me, we're looking at $360 pr set before shipping them state side. This is worst case at getting them for 15,000 yen each. If this is the highest they are going for, is everyone what wanted me to source them a pair still game at these prices?

Jon

BTW, if any of you would like to stay in better contact for sourcing them any JDM parts, Facebook is probably the easiest way to get in touch with me since I can't log into this forum from my work computer.
