Anyone know if these headlights will fit?

I've tried contacting this company several times and in several ways with no help. I've also searched the forums, and know that Cefiro should fit. It says it's for a Cefiro A33 but I'm doubtful the HID's will fit with it.
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with these or this company.

If youre asking if theyll fit your 02 i35 then yes they will. As for the hid fitment question, im not sure.

If a company doesnt have the courtesy to reply to your questions, I'd say look elsewhere.

My question regarding HID fitment would be, if you are buying all new headlights etc why wouldn't you just buy the correct HID set up as well if teh stock set up doesn't fit??

ANy idea how much those headlights are?

The headlights are about $420.

I agree about the company, I think I'll look elsewhere, wouldn't want to lose that much money. I just haven't found a place with this abundance of aftermarket Cefiro headlamps. Do you know of any?
I may just look for some new stock lenses so it's clear (mine are showing their age) and clear the side markers. That site has a "stock" look headlamp for $220 that are "HID Compliant" so I might go with that too.

Do you mean using the stock ballasts and getting new bulbs to fit the housing?

Or even all new balasts depending on what actually does fit.

Seems like too much guesswork for that much money, if I could see it first that'd be different. I think I'll just go with clearing my stock lamps or maybe going with the brand new cleared lamps.

I'd recommend trying to refinish the housings first, Often they will comeout as good as new if done correctly. Also, I think if you invested in some projectors and used a stock housing you could come out with a pretty cool set. Heck for that price you could find pretty much any projector you want and do an awesome retrofit.

Good luck, do some research and post pics

PS: Fallen one onhere has some J30 Headlight sets available, I was goingto pickoneup after Christmas, but first come first serve. He seems pretty legit, might want to PM him.

Anyone try aftermarket projectors with aftermarket HID kit (balast and all)? I have an I35 and was looking into this set up. Don't have time/patience to try retrofitting and I'd imagine 4300k's can counter poor light projection of projectors in ebay lights at least to factory distance (seems to be biggest complaint I think). Any opinions?

I'd thought about this option, but I have not ever seen eBay projector headlights (Sonars, Eagles, etc) to have OEM quality light projection.

The question I have however is whether the JDM A33 headlights will fit the Infiniti I35. Even though their designed to light up the other side of the road, I've got big plans for a nice set of those.

I got some projector black housing headlights from a company(I'll get the link) online and got a separate HID kit for mine and did some custom work with my buddy and mine turned out nice(around $320 total). We got everything in flush and it fits, looks, and performs great.
