Question 2009 Infiniti G37X Headliight Upgrade

Hello Yall, I around a year ago got my 2009 g37x sedan and feel in love with it. I recenty been wanting to give it an upgrade and found GTR based headlights for a an g37 (image bellow). The only issue is the headlight design on my car is not common. Infiniti changed the design of the headlights in 2010. I share the same headlight as a 08 g35. What can I do to make the GTR based headlights fit on my car.
Here is an amazon link to a pair I want to get-
Amazon Amazon

If the job is too expensive then i'm up for first upgrade recomendations.


Thank you all for your time and your amazing community!

New bumper, headlights, brackets, washer fluid tank and some odds and ends needed to change it. You'll want to be looking at headlights for the 2007-2009 model for fit, but I don't know if there'd be any difference on connectors with 2007-2008 G35 headlights compared to the 2009 G37. Your best bet would be to get yours retrofitted, but that involves you shipping your headlights somewhere unless you can do them yourself or have a good local place for it. Are the lenses cloudy where they would benefit from a restoration? How old are the bulbs in the car?

The Headlights are pretty cloudy on the left side, and a little on the right. The bulbs are stock expect for the high beams/ running lights. How much would a retrofit cost? Do you know any stores online that might help? Im pretty sure there are no retrofit companies in my area, but ill check in the morning.

So use a power buffer and buff them out, then add a a good polish to block some of the UV so they don't cloud up quickly... a lot cheaper.

Good luck,


Rick

Thank you for your input Rick. That is for sure an option but I like the looks of the GTR styled headlights. It does seems to be an expensive route, which id rather upgrade my cars exhaust over a new bumper, headlights, brackets, ext. Do companies sell headlights for my car version that have at least a similar style. Again thanks for all your help!
