Would the head light for G37x AWD coupe share with...

Does anybody know if the head lights for G37x AWD coupe share with any other G37 RWD coupe head lights?

Also, can you guys list any nice looking head lights for G37 coupe, especially with a black one? (My car is black and planning to tint all over the windows with dark black)

You can upload some pictures of your head lights and show'em off too!! lol

Thank you~

Yes, i'm pretty sure the X headlights will fit the non x's. I dont see why not.

As far as pics and stuff, do a search. There are literally about a billion different threads about headlight designs, colors, pics, ironman and all of that stuff.

everybody thank you very much!

well.. actually one more question!!!! When I order brighter HID light bulbs than the stock one, Can I order just bulbs, or the kit which includes entire set?

It's because I thought g37 already has the HID xenon amplifier so that I do not have to purchase the whole kit.

You just need the bulbs only. Kits are for cars that halogen bulbs from the factory and not HID's. As far as brighter bulbs, you cant really get brighter than the OEM ones. Unless you were to change out the entire ballast and wiring system to a higher watt setup you wont really get anything brighter. All you can really do is change color to like 5000 or 6000k over factory 4300k. But if you do that you will actually loose some light since 4300k provides the best light output.

The headlights for a car with the technology package are different than cars without it. AWD or RWD doesn't matter.

I'm not really sure what you mean by brighter HIDs, but whiter colored bulbs put out less actual light on the road than yellower ones. You car is equipped with a HID system, all you need to change us bulbs.

Before you ask, it uses D2S bulbs.

what I meant by "brighter" was a higher watts. (The stock ones are 4300k, right?)

So.. according to what you guys just said, I can just order light bulbs.

Which should be better on my black coupe? 5000 or 6000?? (I was thinking to get 10,000, but is it toooooo bright so that's gonna bother other drivers?)

BTW Mine is an 2009 AWD coupe with a premium package....



p.s. Wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Watts is not for the brightness, but only color!?!?!?

sorry.. I am a noob...

Yes, just order HID bulbs, D2S style to be specific. Watts IS for brightness, K is color temp. You cant get different wattages on the OEM HID system. Going with a higher color temp a.k.a 10000K will actually be alot less bright than the OEM 4300K bulbs. 5000-6000K are more blue and dont have as big of loss of light output like 8000-10000K or higher. The lower the K the yellower and technically brighter usable light output, the Higher the K the bluer or even purpler darker usable light output.

as far as what is better, it is just personal preference. 5000k is a little blue'r than stock and is overall a pure white light output basically the oem color without the hint of yellow in it. 6000k has a little more blueish hint on the light output. I have 5000k bulbs. if you look at my profile I have some pics and threads about them.

The 6000k bulbs from Andy at HPAuto are amazing. They come with a five year warranty too.

As far as the actual headlight goes, check out 180Customs. Igor does some great work. You can check out the Post-Ironman album in my profile if you want to see what he did to my car, and the 6000k bulbs as well.

Yes like previously stated, X headlights are the same as RWD. The only differences are cars equipped with the tech pkg have the AFS option.

Heres a link to our thread showing you what can be done to your headlights.
