I've been seeing quite a few "new member" threads with pictures of stock cars with what looks like a black headlight housing :O can anyone confirm this?

 

yes 2011 and newer cars have a black chrome inner headlight housing

 

Yeah, they're not black, but a black chrome. The turn signal area, running light and projector shroud are still chrome. I'd love to be able to order 2011/2012 shrouds, but they only come as complete assemblies. I may just paint mine in black chrome eventually. I think it's an awesome touch that probably most people don't even notice.

 

wow really I have a 11, I never noticed. LOL

Yes they do but you still should get ironman headlights. Got mine done today.

Everyone should do it.

 

I have a 12 and didn't notice the difference from my 08/09, I'm actually going to the garage now. Good looking out

 

Lol I always pay attention to fine detail on all the Gs I see. Anyone know if the 11 are swappable with the 08 without other modifications?

Dash - that looks awesome! Price is outta my reach ATM.

Two three- you were right, it is 11+

 

The 11 should swap fine. Not entirely sure on the harnesses, but I would think it would be fine. The 10+ do not have AFS however. Would be an extremely expensive swap. I had new headlights put into my G like a month ago and they were over $1500 each. You'd be wayyy better off paying someone to just paint them for you, and you'd still have the AFS feature.

 

I don't currently have AFS headlights and I was thinking more along the lines if someone who didn't like the black wanted to swap headlights :P

 

Look in the classifieds.
DOGGY has a set for trade plus cash.

 

Fogs aren't integrated in the housings for model years 11 and up I think. There was another thread on this somewhere.

 

love those headlights!! they`re awesome, but I`m not that handy to do something like that.

 

I just got 2012 a week ago and I did noticed that, I was wondering why its a bit darker than the previous models, but I still want DashKids' the iron man headlight.

 

Well I think they made the 2012 darker because I'm sure Infiniti saw how popular. BTW had to drive 2 hours to get those headlights but gas was well worth it.
