Custom Headlights Thread!
 

Forgive me if one has already been made, I searched and couldn't seem to find one.

I plan on doing my headlights up this weekend, maybe, and wanted to see what other owners have done to their headlights.

Post what you have done, I will update my post with mine when they are done.

That is the only thread you need. I wasn't that into modded headlights initially but after checking their stuff out, I'm sold on them.

Yes haha I know all about the ONEighty guys they do some great stuff. I'm just more of a DIY guy and would like to know what some of the others have done too. :tup:

I think this thread may help some more for DIY.

Since you want to go the DIY route. This is where the pros get their stuff:

The Retrofit Source Inc

You can also get LED stuff from:

LEDs - flexible LED strips, LED modules, 12v LEDs

Thanks guys. I just plan on painting mine so no crazy LED's or anything I like to keep the stock look.

Get the 2015 Nismo headlights and then sell yours. Plug and play.

you guys are missing the point here lol. I just wanted this thread to be about other people's custom headlight's not about me lol. Threw in the anecdote for content lol.

Is that still silver or is it like a gradient on those headlights? I think it's the light playing tricks but not sure.

yeah iPhone can't get the detail that's there in person,
it's a nissan oem paint gunmetal just can't remember what one.
when the daylight hits it it's almost like a pearl/sparkly gunmetal

matches the nismo rim color very closely

Can you please find out what color that is? Was it just regular paint? I want to do something similar to my Nismo but with red shrouds.

in the picture here it was the Nissan 370Z gunmetal grey. I had it repainted recently tho by a better painter with a more metallic grey and a glossy Pearl white http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...c67944da31.jpg

So it wasn't the anthracite color of the wheels yet more of a gunmetal color?

no, the other guy couldn't figure out the color or the gunmetal rims so he figured out the closest nissan color. he said nissan didn't have a paint code for the rims.
never heard of anthracite color until u just posted that reply tho.
it was real close especially since the headlights are never right next to the wheels.
I'm sure there's a better pain match out there.
I got idea from this picture that ONEighty posted http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...f395c430ce.jpg

Yeah, the color of the wheels, which is this brownish hue gunmetal color is called anthracite.

I'm thinking of doing of similar design as ONEighty, only red shrouds.

that's gonna look real bad ***, what color is your car?
it would be perfect if it was red

Mine is a white Nismo but 14 year. So it has all the red striping and anthracite wheels, mirrors, splitter, side skirts, my door handles and emblems are anthracite now too.

that's sick
