veilside350z Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Hi all, need some help will uk 350z headlights fit a jap import 350 Quote
marzman Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Yes they will. Why do you need to change them? If you're doing it to upgrade to HID headlights, you may have the HID equipment in your lights already, but it will have been disconnected when the car was imported... i returned mine to HID last month...

P15UL T Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 hi mate, what kinda help you after ? know a fair bit about headlights so ask away Quote
Chris`I Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 i returned mine to HID last month... I take it that means you dont have the washers? How does that effect the MOT? Guess they dont care as loads of people uprate their standard lights on other cars to HIDs with no probs. Just curious Quote

Just curious ive never heard this being a problem when it comes to mot'ing but there always could be a first Quote
lomoto Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Headlamp washers do not come into the MOT test, The only reason that the headlights on JDM cars get swopped for traditional bulbs is for the SVA test , then they can get swopped back to the HID original items..and they will pass subsequent MOT tests For some crazy reason Euro law says HID headlights must have washers (crazy, no where else has this law ) Quote

However, i could return the lights to standard halogen bulbs in about 2 hours anyway, so if there was a problem its an easy fix... I just cant believe i waited so long to do it! Quote
