Im in the market for the 99spec Xenon healdights and ive been shopping around and found very cheap set for sale in the US. Now I have a 89 Jspec model zed and my only concern is install the headlights. I have seen the pre-wired version and no wired version and it seems from what ive read in the aus300zx.com forums the pre wired version wont work for the Jspec models cuz they are designed for the US zeds.

 

Has anyone on this forum brought and installed the 99spec xenon headlights and know how to do it. If i buy just the healdights, do i have to buy a HID kit anyways or is it just plug and play???

 

I know ill probably get a few members say dont spend you money on headlights just buy a kit for $300 but i wont my zed to have OEM parts on it and here in Australia the OEM Xenon headlgiths are very rare so i want to add that to my car;). Atm im looking at $1900 delivered to my door from the US.

Dude you want to make sure those headlamps are RHD spec not LHD us spec ;) Otherwise you'll be blinding oncomming traffic I should think?

Whats the difference. Projector different angel??? I thought cuz the lights didnt come in the US model zeds they were all Jspec lights.

I think the US guys have the problem with the projector angel but im still researching the lights atm. But thanx for the tip

I've got the 99 spec ones in my 89/90 Zed, they come with the HID bulbs already installed and the ballast attached to the base of the unit, the unwired version you mention, is just as above and with either 2 or 3 wires tailing off for you to wire into your existing loom, the wiring is same as if you were fitting an HID kit, so no problem to do ;)

Though mine is a UK spec, alls the same except 1 wire on the main loom i believe, also wired mine through relays so that when i switched to the full beam light, the main beam ( hid) stayed on.

I had HID lights installed before the 99 spec and thought that lighting was great, but with 99 spec units installed, it's even better again :D

Oh and yes your right, it's the US guys who need to rearrange the projector to suit their driving on the opposite side of the road.

So all that said what we really want is the link to the place you are getting them from so we can all buy them.

Sweet thank you smithy, So what your saying is the unwired versions ive seen come with the HID globes and the ballasts and stuff i just have to wire it up to my wireing loom. IS it better for me to get the pre wired versions then??

 

I do want to tell everyone where im getting the headlights from but i want to get the lights first before i tell everyone as this plan my not work, as ive only just found out this shop existed in the US but the US forums gave them the thumbs up with buying parts from them. Ive already emailed them about the lights but dont expect a response till tomorrow so ill play it safe for now and just continue to ask questions but i can say they sell the headlights for

 

$1549.99 USD (not including shipping)

 

And they sell 2000spec tailights for $390 USD complete with centre panel.:)

Yep you can wire it in yerself fairly easy, i expect the US looms to be the same as the jap spec ones, so in theory you could pay the extra for the extra bit of wiring and see if it works for you, as far as i was aware only Coz offered the pre wiring plugs so i guess your guy may get a good discount from him perhaps ?.

The garage that fitted mine, wired them up in 30mins complete with relays to enable staying on when using full beam, so point being, if yer don't get the wring plugs with your lights, it really is an easy task to do ;)

Just a thought, lol, just check if US zeds use the same bulbs as jap specs in Aus and if they do, you know the wiring is gonna be the same then.

cheers

Cheers thanx smithy, i really want to get these headlights asap and i finally have enough money to get a pair:D. Even if the lights dont come in the plug and play version im hoping for, i will get them professionally wired up like what you did:).

Well if the '99 spec lights only came in JDM (rhd) version, Aus and UK should be fine!

 

Good research there ;) :cool: :duffer:
