Its due to the fact that the 370z is gorgeous and the one big thing it doesn't have that say a ferrari, lambo, porche 911 etc is blacked out headlights...

It makes the car look like its a 75K dollar car and should have come like this from the factory.

**NOt comparing a 370z to supercars** just saying most high performance cars have blacked out headlights so it fits the rest of the aggressive body lines.

Can you guys do something similar to the newer Audi/Mercedes LEDs where it looks like one continuous stream of light? I think it would look really cool to have these down the landing strip and along the bottom of the lights..

Ironic, I was going to ask the same thing as the guy above me^^^^!!!!!! I think that would be pretty cool!!!!!

Zenius · 02-16-2013, 06:05 PM

Anyone from Canada buy any of these light mods? These look like they would comply fine with the DRL law requirements up here but not sure?

I have an American '09 that had the oem DRL kit installed by dealer when I bought it. I'm leaning towards buying a new headlight set from Oneighty with dual orbs and landing strip, and keeping my factory ones as spares..

Thanks!

How do those DRLs work? Are they always on but turn off when the headlights turn on? If you are local, then yes we can connect them together. I just like LEDs connected to parking lights because it gives me control of turning them on whenever I want

Lol can't make a 370z headlight (which is vertical) look like a CLS headlight (which is horizontal), know what I mean? We're working on a new design for an "led strip", just coming out too thick at the moment

They are always on , until the headlights come on.
I like the idea of the parking light activation. I just dont want to have to have the rear parking lights on, in order to have the LEDs on.

The OEM switch for the center console sounds like my best choice.

Thanks for the speedy reply.

Here's what I was talking about:

Can you guys do something like that?

Does anyone know a company that does this type of work (or similar) in Canada?? I would love to do it, it looks great, but I cant afford to have my car out of commission for upwards of a month having it shipped to and from Calgary, AB

I'm looking to smoke my covers with Veil anti laser coating, but would like to do it from the inside. have you guys tried this?

To reduce laser reflectivity, I would go matt black with OEM color lights (silver) and "Viel smoke" covers.

I have mine coated on the outside... First time I put 1 coat on and it was decent... 6 mos later... I had to reapply I should have put two coats because three is too dark for my taste...
I wouldn't do it on the inside because eventually you going to have to reapply it....

reapply even if it is protected from inside! That is the purpose... last forever from being out of the elements.
