What exactly are you trying to use?
Really the ballasts are the only thing you could use from a G35. G35's use a reflector-based HID system, with D2R bulbs. You can't do a retrofit with reflector HID's, and you should not use D2R bulbs in a projector housing.
You need to do a proper HID projector retrofit, with HID projectors to replace your stock halogen projectors, and D2S bulbs made for use in projector housings. Then you can hook up those G35 ballasts to the D2S headlight bulbs.

I don't know how much more clear I can be.
Can you explain how you plan to get the G35's reflector assembly into the smaller space taken up by the Integra's projector headlamp? If you're going to go to all that trouble, it would be a huge waste of time to not just put HID projectors in there instead of the G35's crap reflector assembly.

Patrick is correct about retrofitting reflector HIDs vs. projector HIDs, but pictures would help here NVMYDC.
Which model G35 are we talking about. Some came without and to my knowledge some came with projectors. We stock both FX35 and G35 projectors. Both of which are bixenons, and similar in shape, but the G35 have different cutoff plates.
If you haven't purchased the HID parts again, and you really want to use a set of bixenons, then by all means, it can be done. If you take detailed pictures of the HID components and the inside of the integra headlights, I would be more than happy to give you detailed pointers.

I'm pretty sure G35's ALL had reflector HID's. The projectors are actually used in the newer G37's. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
I do know that the 350Z switched from that POS hybrid projector/reflector to a true HID projector a couple years back.

My mom bought an '08 G35 sedan 2 weeks ago and it has projectors (fresnel lenses). I'm not sure which year they started making the g35's with projectors '07,'08? Hope this helps.

Take my STRONG advice and that from others: retrofit actual HID projectors, using OEM D2S bulbs and ballasts, or don't do anything at all. Plug-n-play HID kits are bad enough as it is, but trying to jerry-rig HID components that physically will not fit into your car is just asking for trouble.

My bad, I thought the larger engine and the exterior freshening came at the same time. 2007 was the first year for projectors on the Infiniti G-series, while the coupe got the 3.7L engine in 2008, and in 2009 for the sedan.

I will have to say that those G35 (matsushita) ballasts are super small! I'd take them over the Lexus (Denso) ballasts any day. I think that if you just sell the headlights without the ballasts, that alone should be able to buy you some RX projectors.
