oo7mech · 01-25-2010, 12:57 AM

Here's what I'm thinking....turn signal and protector shrouds platinum graphite.

Then white Landing strip wired into parking light, but also iron man in orange as turn signals. Or would it look better the other way around....hmmm or maybe every other light in the landing strip orange, and those as turn signals. Lol I have no idea...how much would something like that be anyway?

We're waiting on a batch of switches to come in the mail, once we get them I'll post them up for sale.

I just bought a 2009 370Z Nismo - Black. Do you have directions on how to remove the entire headlight assembly (housing and all)?

Thanks

Then do it yourself. Oh, what's that? You're scared it won't turn out as good? You gotta pay to play.

No he doesn't have too... He can get someone else to do the same job for cheaper and a much faster turn around time.

I agree, but........

Keep in mine your headlights cost $1000 a piece if you slip up and have to get a new one. Thats what stops most people from DIY on this.

I'd DIY mine, I'm only painting the housing, no LED's. It's just taking the light apart and the resealing process I'm not confortable with.

Wow Jonnie who the hell are you? 3 posts and they are all on how expensive it is to mod headlights besides doing it yourself. Honestly, you have not been in this industry very long!!! This is cheap compared to companies like clear corners where it costs close to $1k per light to be customized. Again, I encourage you like others to DIY if you want to. However, if you want to have a professional job done on your headlights that are show worthy with complicated designs then go with a company like 180 Custom. You are paying for convenience, reliability, liability (if they mess up they foot the bill) and fully custom designs. You want to know where the whole LEDs around the headlight came from on the 370z... well it was me!!!! I designed it and worked with 180 to build it. If you see it from another company or DIY person its because I was a pioneer and not having the time to do it myself I hired 180 to do it! Get a grip NEWB and stop Trolling!

If it takes like 4 months and counting to replace a LED. There's a problem.
