Ok I sound dumb but what do you mean by "Fresnel"? Do all G37's have this?

So many interesting things available on Wikipedia for people who take the extra 10 seconds to use it.

I suppose dragion could have just said "projector lens", but giving its proper name is pretty cool. Kind of like when people refer to the Helmholtz resonator by name.

Anyway:

All Infiniti G37s come with the Fresnel projector lens.
The only alternative is to retro-fit it with a clear projector lens by physically opening up the headlight and replacing it.
This will then produce that sharp blue cut off without any yellow.

Not sure exactly what you are looking for, but my stock headlights with Osram CBI bulbs look pretty good...not the best cut off, but definitely has great light output!

I have the STi-R lens, a much cleaner output, crisp cutoff and depending on how far you space it from the lens housing you can get a nice blue flicker around the cutoff. They really should come like this from the factory, but since they don't here's THE place to pick some up~

Don't think I've ever seen those before, should look pretty good back there (as long as you don't have any tilting sideways )

I thought they will go well with my Infiniti valve caps
I'll make sure that they are on straight...

The pessimist in me suspects those will rust pretty quickly. They look chrome plated, not SS. Seems you're going nuts with INFINITI branding (no pun), but it's tiny, so maybe. Surprised you don't have the little INFINITI logo valve stem caps, too. No wait, I just noticed your last post. (facepalm) As for getting them on properly oriented, good luck. Those are bolts, not collars.

Opinions aside, this is the first time I've seen these products. Interesting find.

Let's see them on the plates, dragion.

BTW, dragion, love the macro shots. And right next to the keyboard, too, for authenticity.
