How to remove hid from a 2011 Infiniti g37 and most infinities

[@nizamkhoo]

you deserve to get praise and likes because not everyone will share knowledge and most of the shops I've asked to do it charge very expensive wages, it looks like it's easy to install by yourself huhu

[@DJREDLINE305]

I appreciate that! Teach a man to fish rather than giving him a fish

[@jayfruge3536]

Thanks brother. Noticed one or two in comments called the silver connector the ballast. For them, no that is not the ballast. That is the igniter. The ballast is located on the bottom of the assembly. The igniter attached to the ballast. Two different items with quite a difference in cost.

[@ta9603]

Great video. Good production quality. Everything can be clearly seen. Thank you !!! I was going to bring this to my mechanic, but now I am going to tackle this myself. Thanks for helping me keep my $$$$$ in my pocket !!

[@LayneNguyen]

Thank you for posting this. I was able to complete the job in 10 minutes each side. I would recommend that everyone take off your wheel to do this as it'll give you more room and access.

[@DJREDLINE305]

Hi Danny Myers, Yes your g37 headlights does have a 4500k color temp. And For the fog lights you can put whatever you want maybe L.E.D. Bulbs will look great for u

[@DJREDLINE305]

Blacktemplar420 the g35's and g37's are equip with 43-4500k and yes the one I installed was factory. Here at the dealer we install only factory parts for warranty.

[@dougwebb7792]

Great video. Thanks for that. I would not have known that to replace the bulb, you go from the wheel well. Very cool

[@DJREDLINE305]

To get to the fog lights u go to the lower engine cover. It's right in front of the wheel and pull the 10mm bolts u can get to it.

Great video. I have an '11 EX 35 with Halogens and looking to do an HID upgrade with relays & ballasts. Tried accessing the bulbs from the top & no way that was going to happen. The key is not breaking the fender liner clips or just having spares around if needed. Thanx!

[@DJREDLINE305]

Thanks a lot. It's super easy to access from the fender liner but doing a hid upgrade you will need to do more than that. You will also need to remove the bumper also but yes be careful of ur clips don't break them. They are actually cheap but to drive to the auto part for that is a waste of ur time. But good luck on ur mission.

[@DJREDLINE305]

Hello Joseph santos. Yes the ballast can be replaced on these models. You do not have to change the headlight assy. But you do have to remove the bumper to get to the ballast. I'll try to do a video on replacing the ballast very soon, working at the dealer I haven't really gotten a lot of ballast going bad tho, did you check the bulb thoroughly to make sure it's really inop

[@nighthawk0077]

I just replaced the ballast on mine 2007 G35x sedan. Light was completely dead, now it works, but still flickers once in a while. Also the light is more of a crystal white now, compared to stock which is more yellow. Wondering if i need to change the igniter. BTW passenger side yes you need to remove the bumber, drivers side i dont think so.

[@AG-yj3mc]

I have a 2013 g37 and recently had some condensation within the headlight mount which then blew out the factory bulb. have you ever experienced this ? .... would you suggest just replacing the bulb and keep it moving ?

[@DJREDLINE305]

Yes I've seen condensation within these lights. My answer to u is that on some of the infinities they are built with a ventilation systems to help with change of weather. Now you can do two things ur car is a 2013, so depending on ur mileage and if you've been in an accident before with ur car u can take it into the dealer. If it's moisture cause from factory defects they will replace if it's moisture cause from a broken housing your on ur own. The other thing is u got to be sure it's the bulb and not the ballast/ actuator I would check both. To save yourself money I would remove my opposite bulb from the other working headlight and try first to make sure it's indeed the bulb. Hope this helps let me know if u have any problems.

[@AG-yj3mc]

DJ REDLINE Smart man, thanks for the feedback !.... I'll first try the lightbulb switch & if it doesn't do the job, I'll follow up with the dealer.

[@toomanydarkthoughts]

How would I switch out the ballast? Is it mandatory I remove the bumper or can I do it from the wheel well too?

[@Deadsun787]

[@jwhojme]

I attempted to replace my bulb last night (drivers side), however the new bulb did not turn on either. It may be worth noting, despite being sealed off well there is a considerable amount of condensation inside the headlight housing. I have been told that the hid bulbs are sensitive to condensation, so I am wondering if this may be the case.

[@DJREDLINE305]

+jamie Seltzer It probably is the actuator that is located under the housing. The condensation are common on G35 but not g37 that's y there's a recall to change the headlights.on G35

[@DJREDLINE305]

+Jamie Seltzer yea just like I said actuator (ballast)

[@blacktemplar420]

Hey Conroy i was just curious as to if those were factory bulbs you used for the replacement? If so what is the kelvins on them? 8000k? The reason i ask is because i have a 2011 G37S coupe and the lights on mine dont seem to be as blueish. They are more like a crisp pure white. I want them to have a slightly more blueish tint so what would you recommend or do you have any bulbs to recommend to achieve that effect?

[@adamhenry6238]

@ DJ REDLINE, I have the same dilemma. Purchased a new factory HID replacement and the new bulb is def not the same color (yellow) output as the originals (blue) but the dealer verified that is the correct bulb? Am I missing something here???

[@nighthawk0077]

Good tutorial, the trouble is these oem bulbs last longer than the ballast and perhaps the igniter! If your light "burns out" it could very well not be the bulb itself. Wondering how to change out the igniter.

[@DJREDLINE305]

I’d do them both if I have to change the ballasts

[@702xRyder]

if anybody is wondering bulb size is DS2 cheap on ebay like 10 to 15 bucks for both

[@jessejames6162]

what do i do when the light bulb is stuck to the harnest

[@DJREDLINE305]

I would replace the bulb first in this case as it is less expensive. But I know for sure the bulbs always goes first.

[@MercDiggler]

Thanks for the advice! Bought oem bulb from auto zone ($99). And replaced now. Tutorial was spot on. Took like 20 mins cause I didn't have someone to hold the flash light.

[@DRM0521]

Hey Conway I have a 2013 g37 sedan. Do they have 4500k also? And what bulbs, besides HID, would you recommend for the fog lights? Thanks bro

[@brookshunt732]

Which bulb types do you recommend for this kind HID change? I'm just looking for normal; "stock" replacement. I see Phillips and GE on rock auto. One is $55 the other $45. Does it matter? Thanks.

[@DJREDLINE305]

It kinda does matter as far as color temperature but but once it's factory stock for ur car it's fine. Sometimes people change one and then the color is different

[@desifries]

Can you get to the fog lights the same way?

[@Diboy08]

I have a 2008 g37s coupe and my ballast failed. Apparently the ballast can't just be replaced on this models so I have to replace the whole headlight assembly. I want to replace it myself can u do a step by step on how to do that coz I believe the bumper has to come off too. Thanks!

[@nizamkhoo]

thanks for this video suddenly i can install myself ❤save my money

[@DJREDLINE305]

If it's not the hid it's gonna be the ballast, otherwise know as the actuator you gotta take the bumper off and get the headlight out to remove.

[@Bear_83]

2012 M37X- How can i brighten my headlights? Also I have the standard fog light if I put a 60w led bulb do I need to install a ballast or is it just a plug and play?

[@linhphan6148]

Clean the outside of the headlight housings. Install HIDs or LEDs. No you don't need ballasts for the 60W LED bulbs.

[@dannyruiz8654]

Same process for fx35 04? I'm trying to change my blown bulb. Or is there a way to upgrade to a LED

Danny Ruiz yes same process to change. I've never put an led bulb in the headlights cause there just not bright enough.

[@mac01t]

for a 2013 m37x.. can i turn the wheel to get to my bulbs? or would i have to take off the bumper? could i use 10k bi-xenon bulbs for replacement?

[@DJREDLINE305]

Depending on the size wheel you have. it may not be easy accessible. Do you have the 20 inch wheels? And yes you can change it to the 10,000k xenon bulbs

[@adrianwilliams5547]

i got a 08 g37s coupe are the led bulbs around the light a few went out is the my ballaster or they separate lights

[@DJREDLINE305]

Unfortunately those lights are aftermarket.so they are probably connected to the park lamp circuit. If those went out you probably have to replace the whole thing. If ur headlights are working ur ballasts are fine.

[@adrianwilliams5547]

Thanks yeah my headlights work im guess the whole headlights must be aftermarket i just got the car last month thanks.

[@jamesco0329]

I have an 08 G37. How much of the back cover for the headlight . Do I need to remove to change the balast?

[@DJREDLINE305]

James Cornelsen G35's stops at 2008 and G37's starts at 2009 but the thing is they are similar. So to replace your balasts you have to remove the bumper because its underneath the headlight assembly.

[@angelj8535]

I own 2008 g37 have the same problem balast went out

[@philipannis5271]

Does he ballast only go back on one way? Mine seems to only want to go back on upside down and I can't get the seal to properly fit back on

[@DJREDLINE305]

Yes the ballast only goes back one way. But it’s easier to R/I the headlamp Assy and install the ballast

[@richardbutler3370]

How do you replace the ballast on the M35 can I go in thru fender as well

[@DJREDLINE305]

Gotta remove the bumper to replace the ballast. If ur skilled enough with the right tools you can get it by just removing the washer tank from fender well.

@0:09 that blue wire. It came out and I didnt notice till 2 days later after it had rained. Now the light wont work. Do you think the condensation caused this? If so can I just replace the bulb?

[@DJREDLINE305]

Mojo Jojo honestly if that blue wire came out it’s definitely a possibility that condensation is a factor. However 90% of the time condensation in the headlight will caused the ballast to go, because it’s at the bottom of the headlight. So I’m assuming you need the ballast. But to be on the safe side and to be sure check the headlight fuse and swap the other bulb from the other headlight and you’ll definitely narrow it down that way. Hope this answer you’re question my friend. Lmk...

[@DJREDLINE305]

Horace Mckellop No I’m from Miami. Sorry I misread the year of you’re car. It’s the older M’s that have the stabilizers issues. I’ve seen where the control arm on you’re car have a lot of excessive play when driving or braking hard or even sometimes on uneven surfaces. Drive the car for like 5-10 mph and just keep hitting the break as hard as you can and let go and have someone on the outside look at the front wheels to see if they move back and forth.

[@robertcarrillo9846]

I have a 08 g37 both low/high beam don’t work, just the fog lights, I’ve replaced the fuse but they keep getting blowed! Why is that?

[@DJREDLINE305]

Robert Carrillo hey man thanks for watching. So in that case I think you have the ballasts or harness that are shorted to ground causing the fuses to be blown. I’d check the wire harness first to make sure no open wires are there. And if not replace the ballasts or headlight assembly. Note: Make sure they are not aftermarket headlamps that are installed on your car. As those tend to do that sometimes...

Not really sure how hard it is to replace the ballast on that particular model since they don't go bad. But in assuming it's not hard at all cause it can be seen by the headlight when u open the hood. Unlike the newer m 45 and m37s u have to take the bumper out

[@DJREDLINE305]

So you have a swivel headlight. Commonly you might have had that problem before. Or it’ just got bad. The swivel motor in this case is inop. And the headlamp would need to be replaced. Changing the bulb would not do anything to the swivel actuator.

[@DJREDLINE305]

It's either gonna be the bulb or the ballast

[@MercDiggler]

I have a 2010 g37. Is that ballast going out common? My low and high beams just stopped working on the left today. I noticed after I drove through a big puddle and it's been raining much. Could I have damaged the ballast or should I just replace the bulb first, in your opinion.

[@DJREDLINE305]

+henry vanegas you definitely could damage both. I would first check fuses, then bulbs then ballast. Just remove ur right side xenon bulb and put it in the left and see if it works. Before going to the auto part to spend money
