waltzinblack Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I suppose headlights are considered bodywork? Anyway, recently got some second hand facelift headlights to fit to my 2004 model, how hard is it? If all the front bodywork has to come off (looking at that thread with the guy who posted his new headlights...), then the car is being resprayed atm is it worth just taking them down to the bodyshop and asking them to fit them? The MAIN question, though, I'm not sure if my headlights are missing bulbs. As you can see in the pics below, there seems to be two holes at the top corner of each unit, and in these holes I can sort of see what looks like copper prongs or plugs. Stupid question probably, but are these suppose to have bulbs in, these holes? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 those arent facelift lights.. or at least the internals have been butchered out them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveRS Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 They are facelift, the pics are of the top half of the facelift lights. I believe there should be bulbs in those holes. google 350z headlights and have a look at some of the images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltzinblack Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 well this is the same headlight.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveRS Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 i think the bulb in the top half should be orange............ PM one of the traders on here to see if they can sort you out with some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 they are indeed facelift, missing the indicator at the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltzinblack Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Cool, will most probably then and see, haha. Thanks for clarifying that there should be bulbs! Are these just plug and play? They appear to have an identical connection that the LED sets have for the back, so can I literally just plug them in to where my old ones were and they will work without modification? (well, after I get enough bulbs of course!) @ Husky: So does the indicator only fill one of the holes? (giggidy!) What goes in the other one?

Neilp Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 ah i see, a better pic helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltzinblack Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 ah i see, a better pic helped Sorry dude I know the first pics were a bit ambiguous, but to properly photo the holes I couldn't fit the whole thing in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveRS Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Apparently they are a straight swap for the pre facelift headlights so should just plug straight in. I think there is only one hole, the other hole you can see looks like a reflection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 yep as long as you have the correct ballasts etc, huskys the man in the know about lights i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltzinblack Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Isn't the ballast sort of like, the power/igniter for the bulbs? Do they usually come attached to the headlights? (I could take a pic of the back of my lights to show what they look like..) Also, I'm assuming that means that if the 2004 Zed has the ballasts, they aren't good enough for the facelift lights?

Neilp Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 im not too sure to be honest mate. Best bet is to pm husky and ask for a little help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P15UL T Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 yeah mate those are you indicator bulbs, just remove them from your existing headlights and stick them in your new ones edit: bottom left of the headlight in your last pic is were your side light bulb goes, again just remove from your existing headlight and fit to your new ones Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltzinblack Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Ah awesome if they come out of the old lights that makes things easier! Thanks for all the help, I feel stupid asking if they were plugs now! But the car has been away in the garage so I didn't have the old headlights to compare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesc Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 How much did they set you back if you don't mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
