I gotta admit, thats pretty damn far and it looks really nice. I want them. Hold them for me ok infinite? I got my money in my pay pal on hold cuz the guy had to refund my money so it will take a few days. Hopefully these will fit into the oem housing. BTW Infiniti is there anyway you can check and see if they will fit? Also the projectors are in good condition right? Don't make me come back yelling and screaming cuz I'm to nice of a guy and don't like to do that.

by "good condition" you mean fully functional, right? if so, then yes, they're in "good condition." there's a little bit of JB weld here or there, but that's about it. every other "imperfection" will not harm/hurt the output in any way, shape, or form.

Well as long as the work, and won't break on me as soon as I touch them then yea that sounds good enough. I guess your price is fair enough for used H7. I wouldn't know because as you can tell, I'm quite new to all of this. Trying my best though...

Cal state fullerton...hmm..My friends sister is couselor there. I'll be seeing her tonite soo I'll ask her how far it is from here.

Infinite the price you gave me seems fair. I'm not going to go shopping around for a better deal. If you gave me $130 shipped as your best price, I'll take it. If you can do beter then show me if you can't its cool.

whats a fresnel lense? lol...$115 shipped then? Gimme a few days on the payment k? Did I pm you about it or not? I already forgot. But I'll explain anyway. I bought TSX projectors from a guy for $215 shipped then I cancelled my order cuz I was afraid it didn't fit. So he refunded my money and now paypal says its on hold or something for a few days. Soo after those days pass I'll send the payment to u. PM me with your paypal. And if u want those TSX projectors I can refer u to the guy that is selling them.

fresnel lense is a "softer" lense with concentric circles on the face of the lense. hope that makes sense.

just think of a circle with smaller and smaller circles within it. all it does is shoot a little bit of "glare" upwards so that the headlights light up road signs. the cutoff is a little bit fuzzier, but whatever. HID is HID is HID. it's still bright as hell

OK guys, soo ordered the valeos from infinite...hehehe excited.

Ok now I did some reserach and I know I need to get a H7 Hid kit, with H7 to D2S adapter, and D2S bulbs. What do u recommend? I know I can get the adaptors on hidplanet for 15bucks. So I have about $250 bucks to get the hid kit and d2s bulbs. I'm probably going to get them used. What should I look out for? Whats companies are considered bad quality and good quality?

don't get a hid kit...just get oem products. look for a d2s + ignitor + ballast combo somewhere.

Errr...do you think i'm going to need glare shield on the valeos? Or can I just pop them in an go?

Also how will I keep the projector mounted inside the housing? I'm pretty sure I know how to retrofit the projectors, but my only confusion is when it comes to mounting. I really dunno what I'm suppose to do and how I keep the projector in place. Do I need to weld? Also will I need to seal like this?

you could use long screws, jb weld, or duct tape

i would suggest using screws to hold them in place.

glare shield? no need. valeos come with a cutoff shield.
