That finish is called Black Chrome, its pretty difficult to work with but we're working on it.

Orb Rings, not halos ;) Yes, you can order just the Orbs, we only offer them in Pure White (5500K), we tend to stay away from colored LEDs because they don't handle the conditions within the headlights for a long period of time, so we highly recommend against using blue, red, or RGB lighting inside the headlights.

Here's a few more pics

how are the orbs wired up? is there a switch in the cabin or on and off with the headlights?

All our LEDs are usually wired up to the parking lights. They can be turned on at any time and also stay lit with your HIDs. A separate switch can be wired up but we don't do the installation for those.

Thanks,
Alex

Do you have a separate switch for the landing strip and the parking light on this car?

Few random updates from the work we did in the past couple of months.

Are you using smaller LEDs than before?

Not sure if it helps but you may be able to use this for black chrome. I've used it before and it works great!

Dupli-Color :: Shadow

Not smaller, just different. We no longer use Superflux LEDs, they were just not reliable. We've been using a special kind of SMD LED with a lens, and they are very reliable and just as bright.

I think I've seen that before, not sure if I tried it. I'll look into it again

That is perfect. In Canada, we need day time running lights. How would you hook em up?

Do you ship to Canada? How much for the exact set up?

Do you have pics of the black painted ones with the red landing strip on a car? wondering what they look like overall

For anyone with the LED rings installed, ever been hated on by BMW drivers as being HALO rip offs?

I love the look of these 180* Can't wait to put my order in for a set. :tup:

Well what light is your DRL now? I'll just hook them up to that. Usually we hook them up to the parking lights or a switch.

I believe that setup has flat black housings and Dual Orb rings, which comes out to $600 installed.

Unfortunately we do not, as those headlights were shipped in and I never seen the car in person.

Ugh I hear that so much, and to me it doesnt even make sense. BMW didn't event a halo of light. Yes they have been putting halos in their headlights for a long time, but those are right next to each other, completely different shaped headlights. And these are LED rings, something BMW still doesn't do! We have put these LED rings in a ton of old and new bimmers!

Mine was the white car and I got nothing but love everywhere I went. Made my car standout and looked Incredible ... I now own a BMW and no ones ever made a comment hating on the old halos. People have said I should get the same angel eyes for the BMW lol.

180 does incredible work in a very timely matter. I was very impressed with them as a business and I am glad to see they got a proper shop!

has anyone done the inside painted red? with black housings around the lights? curious how that would look, cause the white cars with the white insides look killer

Hey, if you guys ever come to the west coast (cough cough, Bay Area :tup:), for an event and can do some headlight work, please let me know.
I would love to meet up with you guys for a day and get my headlights done.

Can you just sell me the LEDs you use for the landing strip?

Not a Z, but we just did a red GTR:

I'd love to, but I would have to bring so many tools with me, plus I would need a reliable body shop in your area to paint the parts for me. Plus a big enough oven to fit the headlights. It's better to just ship them here, unless you get like 10 guys in one location to do their headlights, I can fly out there with a friend and knock them all out in 3-4 days haha

Sorry but the only LEDs we sell are the Orb LED rings. The landing strip LEDs are individual pieces that are wired by hand.

I actually did switches myself. The wiring is very simple. 180 left plenty of extra slack to connect to other wires. (I installed the switches and wiring when I had my headlights out and shipped.) You only need a few inline fuses (or those piggybacking fuses if you tap into existing power). The rest is just patience and personal preference of where you want your switches mounted.

I suggest installing quick-disconnect points behind the lights for convenience if you decide you need to remove your headlights later on.

The left is for landing strips. The right is for orbs.

**I did need extra fuses for the lights in the switches.

Where did you get those sexy switches?

Haha. I found them on Amazon.

Oracle Lighting LSGQ16FO Amber LED On/Off Flush Mount Switch

To mount them without ruining the blanks, I actually melted the plastic away with a soldering iron after I cut the plastic cross section on the back. I attempted using a drill at first. However, without a drill press, I couldn't get the drill steady enough to trust myself using it. :P

hey is there any additional wiring required for putting these back into he car? For example, I'd like to send mine over and get the dual orb light mod done. Does 180 wire this into the existing headlight wiring so I'll I have to do for re-install is plug the headlight back in? Or are there now extra wires that I have to figure out how to wire back into the oem wiring harness? Please let me know. I'm very excited to do this mod but not excited about having to do any wiring

They wire it to come on with your parking lights. No additional wires are needed.

Everything will be wired already, no extra needed to be done. The Orbs will be hooked up to your parking lights

Thanks

I have to say that I'm VERY excited about getting these soon. Thanks for being very quick with the response!

Any pics of a black Z with black lights and red bezels installed?

:iagree:

Want to see the black on black combo.

Wish I could see it in person, hard to see in photos.

This is my planned setup, but it won't be until this coming summer at the earliest. :(

Ha great minds think alike I suppose. That sucks it will be so long I might have mine done this spring maybe. Im thinking Ferrari Rosso Fuoco red it is gorgeous. Im just not sure where to find it.

Had dual Halo's put on my Z last spring. Alex's work was first rate. Here is a shot from a photo shoot this past weekend...

Good question... :ugh:

Fellas, been waiting to hear back from you, our communication seems to have just stopped. Would like to finalize plans and have worked started, thanks.

Sorry for the delay, we were away last weekend and throughout Christmas. See you tomorrow :)

what housing color, shroud color and reflective strip is arnolds lights?

price quote
 

Can you pm me price quote.

-Matte black housing
-Matte black landing strip
-Matte black reflector strip
-Rae blue turn signal shroud
-Rae blue projector shroud
-Smooth landing strip (dimple delete)

And how much would it be to add blue demon eyes?

Thank you.

Blinking landing strip
 

Just read (ok skimmed) this entire thread. Love the work! I was just wondering if it would be possible to have the landing strip lights blink from top to bottom (bottom to top) while the turn signal is in operation? Think Knight Rider's Kit with the blinking lights in the front. That would be a cool trick!

I'm interested in this too. That colour is what I'm thinking will look on my blue Z but installed on anything just to get the idea.

Is that a satin finish? Have you guys done any in that colour in full gloss? I'm wondering what a couple of shades darker might look like too... So many questions!

^^^ Ditto, I want to see this exact set up on a white car.

Guys we don't have many pics on cars as most of our headlight customers ship them in. So you'll need help from your fellow members who had their headlights done to post pics of their cars!

Our facebook Z album has a bunch of pics you can look through but most are off cars: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...6664396&type=3

I guess I'm trying to get as close to a factory look as possible. On the Z, I find going too dark with the headlight shroud, especially on a colour like Le Mans blue, tends to look a bit cheap. So that's why I'm thinking this gunmetal would look great, especially in a gloss (similar to the "shadow/black chrome" look of EK9 Civic headlights if anyone remembers).

I'm in Australia, do you guys ship internationally? Can I buy a new/used set of headlights off you guys to ship to me so I don't need to be without lights (daily driver)?

Are US and Aus/JDM spec lights the same?
