I've had this mod for about 6 months now. I got it installed at a local shop in Maryland. My logo does not look like that but is much bigger and brighter. I have received numerous compliments regarding this mod and I think it gives the car a clean/different look.

Did you make sure they Torqued it down to spec? A good mechanic should be able to do it in half an hour.

I take mine in every 6 months to have them rotated and balanced. It really improves the life expectancy of these projectors considering that I open the driver's door 20:1 over the passenger door.

That's brilliant. Which balancing technique are you using, or do you send them back to the manufacturer?

Personally, I use the Heisenberg Method when balancing the projectors. But that's a difficult process without another pair of hands and a good amount of Vaseline.

I ask the dealership to use the Heisenberg Method as well. I feel it really helps with the way the door opens smoothly. I of course pay extra for this as you said, it requires a second set of hands, which means more labor.

guys guys guys... LMFAO too funny.

But side note, before these plug and play versions came out they originally were drilled in and screwed down... meaning you had to take the door panel off.

Thanks for clarifying. I was about to post that they were actually easier to do than changing the bulbs (I had had an LED panel in mine before I got these).

I do love them. They are so over the top that they pass right through dumb into so dumb they're cool, lol.

ROTFL that was priceless, I just hope they didn't charge him for that
I had a technician at the infiniti on Friday asking me where he can get them for his BMW.

I'm still very much digging my projectors.

Before buying them, there's this apprehension that this is too over-the-top. But that's just not the reality of it. They're cool, and fun, and not so obvious that anyone really notices... mostly just you. To me, that's a perfect mod, where you can appreciate something you've done to the car, without a care that no one else knows.

Is it just me...
I'm seeing 2 different kinds of lights (For a 2013)
1 that just has one color and
1 that's 2 color the white and red

I'm really interested in the 2 color
I also see that Home - Wind Fire Auto offers custom lights
I'm thinking of the Infiniti logo in white and G37S in red

Any thoughts or comments?

I definitely feel your thoughts.

Wind Fire sells a one color Infiniti logo and amazon has the one with red. I prefer the one color.

Wind Fire also has inserts that you can change. Not sure about the amazon ones, but the projectors appear nearly identical in the pictures.

Maybe Wind Fire's inserts will work in the amazon projectors.
