MonkeyFace Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Hi I have an imported US 350z and need to get the headlamps changed to get it passed the not. Does anyone know if the fittings are the same with UK and US models? Just trying to find out if I can pick up done UK units and bolt them on our of I need to make and changes/get special kits. Any advice is welcome. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aashenfox Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 (edited) I have a US car and can confirm no difference in headlight sockets, just be aware, that if you have the base model (no LSD, no brembo, no bi-xenon) that you need the pre 06 non-bi-xenon lights, which have a 6 pin socket if you want plug and play fitment. If you don't mind doing a bit of splicing, the much better looking 06+ bi-xenon units can be fitted without changing any hardware, just convert the 6 pin to the 8 pin bi-xenon harness, leaving out the blue wire. You lose auto-dipping function which is used when you have a heavy load in the boot, apart from that, all is as you would expect. Hope it helps. I'm in the process of updating my US base with halogen hi-beam to 06+ bi-xenon, I have the lights and looms ready to convert, will be going for it next week probably. For your purposes, you can indeed simply buy the same lights you currently have in RHD spec from a UK car and expect them to be plug and play.
