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.

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.

Z370Z011 · 04-02-2014, 04:07 PM

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

Meulen · 04-04-2014, 09:56 AM

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...

Huck · 04-04-2014, 10:26 AM

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.

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!

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!

Huck · 04-04-2014, 10:36 AM

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.
