chocohercules Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Hi Guys, i will be buying my first 350 in around a month Just wanted to know if the newer headlights say 07 will fit on the 03 that im going to buy. Quote
Stew Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 I believe it's a straight swap but it ain't cheap...... unless you have a source! Quote
M13KYF Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 think they are around £400 each per unit so not a cheap mod and the only ones I've seen through salvage have been £300 each to the club Quote
mbs Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Hello & IMO not a worthwhile mod, can spend your money better elsewhere Quote
nixy Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Hello - welcome welcome - show us some pics when you get it Quote
martinmac Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Hi and welcome to the forum. A pretty expensive mod but rather nice. Quote
sunset350z Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 There`s nothing wrong with the lights on the earlier models. Spend on more worthwhile mods like suspension, exhausts etc. Quote
Ebized Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Welcome - looks as though you are into a big spend straight off - the 06+ headlights are a hugh improvement over the earlier ones, having experienced both, but at a price to do a swop as others have said. Oh and Mike - it is quite comforting to see a Mod do a double post Quote

Oh and Mike - it is quite comforting to see a Mod do a double post thanks for that, getting a lot of socket errors at the mo, so it keeps bombing out on me, duly sorted the double post Quote
Lexx Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Wilkommen The 06 lights do look better IMO. But as others have said, its a shed load of cash that can be better spent on a new Zorst/wheels/suspension or something like that Quote
chocohercules Posted July 31, 2008 Author Posted July 31, 2008 Hi Guys thanks for the warm welcome, i will definitely post pics of the car when i get it!!! i was asking about lights due to one of the plastic on the headlight is cracked. i have seen some aftermarket ones on Ebay, for under£200 they look like they have black inserts inside not sure if these are tacky, what you guys think, has anyone got pics of these headlights on car or any other aftermarket types???

martinmac Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Stew has some nice lights. http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic ... c&start=90 Quote
Zummertor Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Welcome, Guys already said it re. lights, but if you are replacing anyway then maybe worth considering as I think the older ones are surprising candle like for a car of this type. Enjoy the car ! Quote

Please beware of the ebay lights. If you are changing the internals then it's maybe ok but you have to watch as these are usually for LHD american cars. Quote
sunset350z Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 Why didn`t you say that in the 1st place If you need to replace damaged items then its worth getting newer spec, just like the newer 07+ bonnets are cheaper than the old type. Quote
martinmac Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 You seen the Nissan price for the new light Quote
Sarnie Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 There`s nothing wrong with the lights on the earlier models. Spend on more worthwhile mods like suspension, exhausts etc. The early model lights are **** poor imo. Its an expensive fix to upgrade which is why Cincity got loads of interest but have now disappeared Quote
bronzee Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 Welcome to the community Choco. I seem to remember a few of the guys from my350z had a few issues with swapping over to the new model headlights. Where's Phil when we need him. Quote
