Just means your a pro by now, lol.

I wish there was someone over here in the UK that did this, I really like them but don't want to do it myself

I joined a UK site not to long ago and thought I saw a few guys that had done theirs. Maybe they could help? If not 180Customs would probably do a core swap deal with you but it would be pricey until they got your lights in exchange.

It is a really clean mod though if you can spare the money to make it work.

Yeah I've seen one, but he was asked by several people and didn't want to work on someone else's due to the cost if something went wrong (understandably). Might contact 180customs, but there was someone from UK who got charged by customs for receiving his own headlights back!
I should just have a go myself, I'm reasonably handy with stuff like that, I just don't fancy having a go

I know it's been said before, but everyone is scared of baking their headlights. Thing is that once you do it you realize its not that bad at all. I haven't done my Z yet, but my wife's Civic headlights were a piece of cake. I spent $500 dollars completely modding them with an hid retrofit kit and lights, only to have her total the car two weeks later lol.

Zdayz 2014!!

That led strip at the bottom on the light just put it over the edge for me....now I need to find the money to send mine to you.

Any updates on the light strip? Pretty eager to see some pics from a distance :D

Anyone know the specs on the resistors that come with the XB's?

When I put the LED bulb in the flasher it blinks real fast and I'm wondering if the extra resistors I have will do the trick...

I could be totally wrong here but the number 750 is stuck in my head for the resistor you need. I read lots of stuff and random info gets stuck in the corners of my brain. I could be way off though. Personally I like the quick flashing.

Zdayz 2014!!

LOL...Thanks huck! My mechanic has the specs I need. Although, I don't remember them off the top of my head right now either!:eek::icon14: LOL

I don't mind the fast flashing, Not sure it's good for the car though.

btw Huck....been working with the camera a bit. Hoping it warms up some so I can get the car out and find a place to shoot it! :)

Sweet let me know, never even considered it might affect the electrical system, I've never heard of that before.

Same here in the camera, I may be getting a new lens soon. Just bought a WHOLE BUNCH of stuff for the Z, I'm gonna get everything put on and then do a photoshoot. If you have any questions let me know. I'm not an expert but I have a pretty good general knowledge of photography.

Zdayz 2014!!

You and me both brother. Everything has basically been done. These flexible strips do need trimmed down to fit inside the light. The only thing I am waiting on is to see how well the strip holds up to the heat.

I have see some that turn yellowish in color over time but those were on the outside of the lights. I will get some pictures today and post them. The shroud is in there tight so trimming is a defiant to do item.

Glad you guy's like. Easy modification and looks great. :tiphat::tiphat::tiphat:

If you want, I'll Skype with you and we can build them together. We can set up a day and go strait through it. You be the hands!!

Thanks very much for the offer, haven't decided whether to have a go yet or not. Really love your work tho, very impressive!

Congratulations Nut N Much

In my opinion, you have done the best and most legit LED work to a 370z headlight. After years of browsing on here, the bottom led strip is exactly what I've always wanted to do. Now I just got to find somebody in Norcal to do it to mine.

Thanks Boss, always looking for something new and fresh. Will make DIY for this on the next set. :tiphat: Just need a local that wants them done :)

Very cool! I dont have the guts to DIY this one tho... Will have to pay for this mod I guess...

Thats sick man thats what i want to do next but I'm afraid on wiring it. and love the way you have it wire to a button inside your car do you have any video on the wiring part of it.

No video yet, I need to wire up a friends if I can get him over here from Orlando.

lol well if you ever want to do mine your more then welcome

Love love lovin' the led strip! :tup:

I tried this on a customers car. Not a very smart thing to do btw. Wired everything to the parking lights (except the amber wire which went to the blinker of course) and now we are noticing the switchback is not working so well. When the blinker is on, instead of shutting off the white completely it flashes white and amber back and forth. Also there are issues when you turn off the blinker. Sometimes it switches back to white immediately, other times there is a delay, and sometimes no lights at all. Not very happy with this product at the moment. Calling the company to see what they say.

But just after 2 days of driving her now I got this paint bubble issue which I knew about and according to 180 customs an BMW e92 lens would fix that! Does anyone have an idea where to get them from I don't think 180!sells them seperate

So to solve my problem the strip comes with three wires. Black (ground) Red (white LEDs) and Yellow (amber LEDs). I disconnected the yellow wire that was connected to the blinker positive completely. Instead I attached the ground to the blinker positive. Now when the parking light is on it shines white, and when the blinker is activated it blinks white.

I love the bottom LED strip. Not to keen on the rings though.

Any plans on some DIY info on installing and wiring the LED strip to come on whenever the headlight gets power? I'm ready to try this myself, just paint and the strip no halos and whatnot.

Need some help... So around feb I did the dual halo mod on my lights and used krylon fusion satin black and the UV protectant on my housing, now it's getting burned up or warped sort of by the turn signal halos on both sides only. Any tips or suggestions to prevent this whenever I repaint them???

What brand led are you guys using on the parking/running light spot in the headlight? I'm using the same ones I have in the license plate and map light #194. Works fine everywhere but nonstop flickering in the parking/running light spot.

Good info on this thread http://www.the370z.com/exterior-interior/86908-issues-drls-painted-headlights.html

For parking lights I use the 4 led wedge base from here http://www.superbrightleds.com/cat/m...re-wedge-base/

Well guys after a long struggle I finally got the headlights done. I had help from FortuneTT and Osiris, and we started at around 2pm and got done at 1:30am. Nothing seemed to work out right, but we finally got em all put back together and put them back on the car, then I went home and did the wiring the next day. They're finally all done, and I have some quick preliminary pics to show off. I have to refinish the housing lens, seems when we baked them they turned kinda yellowish and hazy, so I have to sand them down and put a new UV clear coat on them. But anyway, here's a few pics with no editing or anything. I did flat black housings, pearl white shrouds, turn signal lenses, quad halos, and red and blue demon eyes in each of the four lenses. I ran 3 switches, 1 for red 1 for blue and 1 for the halos, and I have the halos also hooked up to the headlights so that when the DRL's come on so do the halos. I used the flat mount SMD leds that someone on here suggested a while back, two of each color in each lens. They're pretty freakin bright.

Both red and blue together

Looks good buddy love the purple.

Thanks man, I'm sure you seen something similar in person but the purple changes Hughes when you move around from side to side, such a pretty cool effect

Zdayz 2014!!

Any updates on how the led strips are holding up? I'm thinking this is the style for me.

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/05/26/mypy2a2a.jpgmine are still looking good but I have tried different sets and none have the switchback working correctly. So I just have the white wired up and found a way to make a blink off when the blinker turns on. They even sent me replacement switch backs and those didn't work either. They only work when I connect them to my testing batteries but as soon as I hook it up to the car they act weird.

Thanks for the update and repped. I'd be happy just using them as always on running lights, wired to come on when the headlight comes on. Any info on how to do it and what I'd need to buy (part# etc..) other than all the great stuff in this thread?

I get mine off amazon and btw, I just installed some more on a customers car and the switchbacks worked. Only thing that was different was hers were wired to a switch with just the amber tapped into the blinker. Not sure if that matters or if the led strip was a newer version. They did look different in color, more of a reddish tint.

I see a few options on Amazon... can you link to the model you use?
