Attention Australia/NZ owners...

[laxman0324]

I was wondering if any of you knew of a good place to get the Projector style headlights the R50's in your area had. If anybody knows of a good place or a junkyard or something where you can get them, I would be extremely grateful if you would be kind enough to ship a pair to the US for me (I pay of course), and some extra compensation for your hard work. Maybe if enough R50 owners would like a set, we could get a group buy, and I could distribute them to whoever purchases a set. For those of you who don't know what they look like, xplorx4 (sorry i dont remember which ones are caps) has them, ill try to post a pic of it in a few mins, just let me know if you dont want your pic xlporx4.

 

Thanks,

Mike

I think it's going to get pricey. If I remember correctly XplorX got then when he was overseas somewhere and still paid a bundle for them.

 

Either way I think it is a good call trying to get a group buy on them. Maybe we can find someone who will get them to us for a decent price. I am not saying I am difinitely in on the group buy but let me know the price and I will make a decision. I already need to replace my passenger headlight unit so I might as well check on the price of the upgrade while I am at it. Now we also need to talk to XplorX because I think they might need a ballast or something like that. I would look for his thread but I am at work and kinda busy.

I believe he paid over $1k a piece for the pair. Soooooo, unless you're willing to drop that kind of dough...

[zonianbrat]

A $1000 bucks apiece?

A $1000 bucks apiece?

 

Probably 1k total, I don't know of any xenon headlights are more then 1k apiece...and they might be halogen projectors he converted into xenon...Well I really like the look of those and figured I would give it a shot, so if any of you NZ owners happen to find a set, give me shout...

I'll do some digging and see what I can find

 

I did find these for $300NZ

Little digging done

 

Found these, but they are attached to a Terrano So they are around

[laxman0324]

man they look good...do you know of any parts websites for NZ Terranos only? maybe one of those have it. We have those taillights, but we have the chrome ones, too much bling for me

Ding ding ding We have a winner.....Sorry.

$1200NZ EACH if available.....Harder to find than a piece of hay in a big stack of needles.

Roughly $1700NZ each new from Nissan.

This is just for normal one's like you want......HID's are even more.

 

The problem is where they make cheap knock-off's aren't making copies of these lights, not even the standard R50 lights.

 

I will keep my eyes peeled in the parts for sale here, and If I see any cheap I'll PM you

You know we could always buy a set of reflector lenses and when you go for a test drive the projectors magically disappear and the reflectors are there...tell the dealer they are the premium headlights. Na im just playin man, but thanks for the info, i really appreciate that youll keep an eye out.

[zonianbrat]

Geez, that's outrageous. Welcome to the R50 way of life I suppose. Little aftermarket support that is quite spendy.
