Custom Headlights Thread!

Alpine · 06-22-2015, 02:10 PM

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.

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.

Alpine · 06-24-2015, 08:06 PM

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.

RBfastback · 12-09-2015, 05:26 PM

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

RBfastback · 12-09-2015, 05:28 PM

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

Kamillio · 02-15-2016, 07:38 PM

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