Rep Power: 0 Q45 OR M45 Projectors
Lookin for some feedback, just wondering which you would go with. I have access to a pair of either the Q45's or the M45s projector units. Check out the Infiniti website to look at the difference between the two.
Q45:
The High Intensity Discharge (HID) xenon headlights on the Q45 are not only brighter than halogen, they're also significantly broader. Their unique, 7-lens design produces a wider, longer and more precisely aimed light path. And auto leveling helps ensure that the lens angle is aligned with the road.
M45:

Rep Power: 410 q45 projectors are 7" in diameter. where would you put them? the m45 projectors would be more reasonable, but they are still big. also, the 7 lens design is kind of useless. sure it looks cool, but you can get the same/more output with LS430 or S2000 projectors.

Rep Power: 0 I decided to go with the M45 projectors after seeing each in person at the infiniti dealer... I like the 'spikes' that come off the center projector... and size did come into factor... I already took the m45 headlight assemblies apart... de-engineering those things was a bitch, cuz they have 2 motors for UP/DOWN & Left/Right aiming of the headlights... Stripped of the motors and all it still is pretty big unit, i'm not quite sure how I'm going to go about mounting them into the OEM assemblies, Any suggestions?

Rep Power: 295 the Q45 isnt 7 inches...its 5 inches...i know this 100% cuz i have one...the Q45 has a much wider light beam because of the multi lense but the M45 is like a standard projector which has more concentrated beam in front but not as wide or bright...the Q45's have a lot of color too
