If I do DUAL ORBS, I understand that requires some sort of modification to the OEM turn signals inside the headlamps..

What happens with the functionality of those turn signals? Do I lose them? Or will they still work as OEM?

Would I be somehow forced to get reverse landing strip to work as turn signals??

Thank you!!!

The projector lense makes them shine brighter, now you will see street signs flash orange when your blinker is on.

I believe it they go a lot farther in the looks department. Really changes the entire front end of the car. I should of sent my lights out while my car was down.

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..

jbrueshaber · 02-16-2013, 03:13 PM

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

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!

Just amazing ...

Thanks again to ONEighty

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.

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.
