Rob-Hughes Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Hi there everyone, Bit of a long shot but I'm after a set of LHD headlights to fit a 2004 GT spec. Unfortunately they cant be off a US spec car as they have a flat beam. If anyone knows where I can get a set of rear fog lights to that would be great. The light needs to be on the left hand side. Will be used in mainland Europe. They dont have to be OEM, quite open to aftermarket items. Many thanks, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 350Z Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Rob, I bought US lights and they flew through the BFG in June. I bought them from Z1 Auto. They were about £1200 all in for Xenons. If you require the projector lights they are cheap as chips - £300 or so. Also I bought crystal rear lights with a red LED bulb for the fog. All passed first time. I'll dig out all the links. Wait, out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Z1 sell headlights anymore. I've had a scan on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob-Hughes Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 Hi again Danny, I've had a look and it looks like a good option. I have a few questions however. Did you just piggy-back a wire for the rear fog light to the other side? What does the car look like with the black internals on the headlights? If you have any pics it would be a great help or if you are near Gutersloh any chance I could have a look? Cheers buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 350Z Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Answer to Q1: A BFG friendly garage in Bergen did the fog / reverse swap for me as my technical know-how is zero. Answer to Q2: My Zed is a 06 so I bought Xenons which were a straight swap and don't have the black internals. Those projector lights were another option I was looking at but the Xenon wiring is different. Another option to the Fog/reverse is this which is really simple to do and improves the symetry of the rear: viewtopic.php?f=35&t=23262&hilit=+how+clear+out+rear+fog I'm now back in the UK and have sold my Xenons to another member who's off to BFG and didn't get pictures of the transition.

Wookiee22 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I got hold of some clear rears and ran a crossover cable to switch the fog and reverse lights. Nothing too dramatic, the part that took the longest was removing the rear bumper! If you're unsure drop me a pm and I'll talk you through it. Or if you happen to be near Paderborn at any point I can show you! There seems to be a lot of misinformation flying around about headlights. I would suggest checking what people at your local BFG testing dept have passed with. I got hold of some 2nd hand euro-spec lights but they're like hens teeth. If you can get a pass with US lights like Danny that would probably be the easier - and certainly cheaper - option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe there is 1 other forum member there but can't think of his name for the life of me. I'll look through previous threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob-Hughes Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Hi guys, Only seen a white JDM in Gutersloh, a RMP lad has it but its under a cover at the mo due to lack of lights so I'm told. Will have a word with one of the testers I think, he's a member of the camp motor club and might turn a blind eye for a slab of beer!!!!!!!!! Wookiee, if I could have a look at yours that would be great, I'm a bit reluctant to do some gash wiring to the car LOL. I'll PM you and maybe sort something out. Cheers again fellas.

Rob-Hughes Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 PM sent........... I think LOL This bloke has a white JDM with a kit and big wheels. Looks good but a bit to F&F for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 350Z Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Thing is, as you probably know, he'll have to register it at some point while he's there else SOBA(G) will be all over him. He probably didn't realise the headlight issue would be such a pain in the arse, as it really is (£1200 for me). It took me 2 months to BFG my Zed when I was there. I was posted back to UK 4 months later So a complete waste of time and effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob-Hughes Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 The whole BFG system is a pain in the ass in my opinion LOL. Had the same problem with my 300ZX so should be used to it by now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the same problem with my 300ZX so should be used to it by now It's not user friendly at all and is uber confusing. An archaic system that is overdue an overhaul IMO.

Worse case scenario, book yourself into Hohne BFG centre. They passed my Zed. Only an hour and a half from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
