I didn't even KNOW about those... I to thought they were the high beams. How do you turn them on or off?

mine are blue :]

you can turn them off by rotating the **** at the end of your turn signal lever back to the "auto" setting.

High beams are not a separate bulb. On newer models it is a setting activated when a solenoid moves a reflector to change the angle of incidence of the main headlight beam.

Or, in laymans terms, it is a mirror-y thing that makes your beams point moar up, and away from the road.

That's so cool! What a good idea. Still not too sure how to turn them off though. I will take a closer look in the morning, it's way too cold outside, lol.

So when the lights are ON manually the city lights come ON as well, but when the **** is rotated back to AUTO the city lights stay OFF. That's interesting, I never checked that out.

That is correct, there is also a setting to have the headlight off, but the city lights on.

Looks like connoisseurr beat me to it. Long night sorry, wound up finishing my flappy paddle install, pulling my engine bay plastics (need some color), redoing the intakes again with the Z1 hoses and helping a buddy install his headlights and put his front end back on.

Would still be happy to get additional pics for you if you would like. I have some pics I need to post of the Z1 hoses and of the FI cats. I don't think I ever posted them.

I have some tinkering to do tomorrow to figure all that out. On top of my Carbon Fiber key fob wrap project!

I just checked the OEM cats.... Thanks for the reminder.... No lettering or numbers on mine.

I kinda dig that. Would be a nice match for my demon eye. Is that a DD led? I picked up a white replacement bulb from DD for my city lights and also a switchback for the turn signal. Wondering now if I should have gone for more of a splash.

I believe there is no such thing to figure out for you , since the city light thing was on 2007-09 at least the given sedan headlight posted by kOrE is 2007-2009 and 2010+ don't have those, but correct me if I'm wrong, but thought you got a 2010+

The city light is a coupe/vert thing.

Erm, so I'm going to say this is an 07-09 sedan, and the light that is on next to the headlights is the fog light, NOT the city light. This is switched by the secondary switch on the turn signal stalk. Kind of hard to describe, but if the outside of the stalk rotates from off/parking/auto/on, the switch that controls the fog lights are on the inside of the stalk (closer to the steering column). The fog lights should only function when switch to the "on" position AND the headlights are turned on (not sure if they work with just the parking lights, never tested it).

Who has added headers to their sedan?

You mean long-tube headers to replace the OEM shorties and cats? I don't think anyone in this thread.

I still remember (with some humility) that one of the first things I learned on this site was that the G37 exhaust manifolds were actually headers. Didn't know that until after buying the car.

Thanks, guys. Very decent of you each to humor me on this snipe hunt.

So from this I'm concluding the OEM cats on the G37 have no markings on them to identify them as OEM, except for the heatshield... which I can't see as being relevant. Heat shields on just about every car made end up getting ripped off long before the exhaust component gets replaced.

Hmm. I feel better about this. Assuming I get inspected this March, just before the cats are installed, then I'll have a year of driving around with FI cats, and they'll probably look a little more worn in, easily passed off as OEM for an inspection, as long as the shop wasn't Nissan/Infiniti.

I'm probably way over-thinking this crap, but that sounds about right, don't you think?
