Best way to accomplish this is to obtain original factory hid lamps and ballasts from a donor 99-01 q45 {junkyard wreck or if deep pockets,purchase parts from Infiniti}

Plenty of cheaper options on Inet, but none will be as effective as above

Thanks for the props.

I have a set of ballasts, ignitors and bulbs for a 99+ for sale.

I also installed an aftermarket kit from ebay, works great, very bright and does not blind other drivers based on my several months of driving. I've had two people flash their high beams at me which I think is a pretty good indicator of their aim and light dispersion.

The only apparent difference between the $80 kits and the $300 kits is "quality." You'll have some recourse with the expensive kits but unlikely with ebay.
