Anyone changing out the headlights to the JDM spec?

Reviving this thread.

The Middle East version of the headlights might be the way to go, since they are LHD.


Do any of you have any contacts in the Middle East that may be able to bring a set States-side?

i wasn't aware of the middle east were getting any z's, this brings up an interesting question, can those in europe who aren't getting any import them in from a middle eastern country?

 

[Hubert]

Anybody been able to get the part numbers for these Middle-East edition headlights?

 

[Hubert]

Bump; anyone from the Middle East that can get the part numbers for the headlights?

I will try to get the part number and price hopefully this week.

i read where the tail lights may be different too. they are darker, can anyone confirm?

Compared to my Sport, the Nismo has almost "smoked" tail lights. They are darker but both my Z's are 2024.

Thank you!

I ended up ordering the Japanese headlights. The high beams don't emit from the main projector. The high-beams only emit from the 4-bulb side pod, which seems to be different that the US spec.

That’s true, though atleast when you replace car parts with cheaper aftermarket alternatives the car doesn’t constantly complain about “counterfeits detected”.

HP printers on the other hand... ?

You just wait. Now that cars are going all electric and basically run on software that kind of stuff is coming. They can control how your car runs without OEM stuff and they will say its for "Safety" or some BS like that and there is nothing you can do about it unless you know how to hack their software.

Soon you will need an account to login to your car and probably some biometric scanning that will send everything you do and say in your car to the cloud... etc.

Yes I wear a tin-foil hat regularly.

Enjoy the cars we have now people!

I got the price. It's $1,554 per side without VAT.

They gave me a weird part number.

1- M N260106GR0C. RH
2- M N260606GR0C. LH

It might a little bit cheaper in Qatar or Kuwait.

Our dealerships in Saudi Arabia usually more expensive + and we have 15% VAT here and they don't.

Thank you! Where do the high beams emit in these Middle East spec lights? From the main projector or the 4-side-projectors?

They do look nice, but just a word of caution to reiterate what was said at the beginning of this thread awhile ago:

If you are considering buying the jdm housings, remember that the cutoff is not correct for LHD countries. You're going to run the risk of blinding oncoming drivers if you go this route. I'd recommend getting the ones from the middle east if you choose to go this route.

Yes, that's why you have to lower the left light compared to the right.

I'm pretty sure all versions emit the high beams from 4-side-projectors.

I'm pretty sure all versions emit the high beams from 4-side-projectors.

If you have one of the newer Z, can you check if the main projector changes when the highbeams are enabled?

On my JDM headlights, I can see the cutoff is still in place on the main projector. The highbeams appear to be emitted only from the sidepods.


EDIT: I asked because I still the blue light cutoff with my highbeams. However, this video shows the same blue light cutoff effect on USDM lights, so maybe they are the same.

I'm still waiting for my Z to be delivered.
