Thanks bro!

LOL. That's what I meant.

I honestly don't know why everyone at least in the NY area hasn't sent their lights in. Oneighty has incredible customer service and put out an excellent product.

jofro6 10-02-2013 08:14 PM

their lights are def sick.... but i know i cant afford $800 just to do my lights the way i want them right now when it can go towards performance parts instead lol

Pricing I would guess. It's amazing the product that 180 puts out and I absolutely love seeing all the options but for many spending close or even over $1,000 to do headlights is a lot. It's definitely an awesome mod to add to your car. Completely changes the look of the car which is why I did it

The way I see it, I can spend that same amount of money on an exhaust that may or may not be the exact tone I want it, OR I can customize my headlights EXACTLY the way I want them and they completely change the look of the car. I've gotten nothing but compliments on my lights.

I paid $800 for mine and the only quirk I have is that I didn't get MORE creative. Looking at what they do with the BMW lights part of me wishes I'd done a little bit more. But that's not the look I was going for with my car.

I said the same thing...it could go to performance parts. But honestly, what performance part for 800 or even 1k would create a huge difference in the vehicle? At least with the headlights the difference is instant and dramatic. And even with the car and lights off, there's a difference. If that makes sense at all.

While true, I am just saying that there are many people who would much rather spend $1,000 in performance parts opposed to the looks of the car for that price. Just from the group of Z owners in my area they absolutely love my headlights and is something they want to do but when I talk pricing they get a little hesitant on it and would rather stick to something they can feel or hear. I wanted to do both which is why I did my headlights and will eventually do performance. You are completely right in that it completely changes the look of the car and I think its something that if someone wants to change the look of their car this is a great one to do. It definitely is a night and day difference when you make that change. 180 does an amazing job as evidenced in these pictures and how they look on the car is awesome. I love seeing all the various options they have and what they come up with in their finished product. I recommend to everyone as well to look into doing this.

I paid about $800 for mine too and got quite creative since I figured I didn't want to mess with having to send mine in to the shop I had sent them to again. Figure get it all done now because being without my car for over 3 weeks while I sent them in during the middle of the summer was rough. I guess though if I ever had to make a change I could do it during the winter when the car is garaged.

ONEighty 10-04-2013 06:02 PM

Thanks for the support guys, it means a lot.

Here's a few shots from yesterdays job.

DatsunFTW 10-05-2013 12:50 AM

If I still lived in Brooklyn, I would be over there in a heartbeat! :excited: One of these days I'll try to send mine in. I've been spending a lot on mods lately I need to chill out :ughdance:

Eclipz 01-15-2014 09:22 PM

370z lights look sexy by themselves but 180 makes them look even better

enkei2k 01-15-2014 10:06 PM

damn, now I'm undecided which is best, but I do know that blacking everything out is definitely the way to go!

Questions -

You wouldn't happen to have any pics of the dual orb lights on plus HID's would you?
Or do the orbs turn off when the HIDs go on?

I looked through this thread and the other one and didn't see any pics. I was only able to find pics of the dual orbs only.

Can you PM me pricing on those two that you just posted (both black ones) when you get a chance please? I want to make sure my math is right lol. I'd be dropping by in locally to do the work probably next month.

I apologize in advance for all these questions, total lighting noob.

Don't worry -- haven't forgotten about ya!! I tried a few times and it's really hard to capture on camera. Once I get my car back from Fast Intentions I'll have to play with the exposure a bit -- sorry for the wait :icon14:

No worries.

I got the headlights back last night and plugged them in. I will get some better shots once I put the car back together this weekend.

One question, I would like to get some LED parking light bulbs to match the halos. What color are they? 4000 +/-?

The Orb LED rings are 5000K, it's hard even for us to find a perfect match of an LED bulb. Let know when you do and if they match :tup:

How much would you charge for a set of these?

XwChriswX 01-22-2014 05:06 PM

ONEighty, do you prefer to work on brand new lenses instead of having people ship you used ones?

The reason I ask is can you polish lenses to get out scrapes and chips and such, or would it just be easier to order a brand new set for you to play with?

Well we would only put those if you were getting dual Orb LED rings. In which case, I won't charge extra ;)

Wish there was a place to just buy the lenses, but there isn't :shakes head:

So you would need a whole new headlight, which yes we would prefer for the best look. We can polish out the lenses but there is a limit to that, depending on how deep they are. We sell brand new headlight housings/lenses for $1400 btw

Thats both sides, everything necessary to make them look new again? :icon17:

Is there a discount of ordering a set through you to work on yourselves?

That's both sides, not including ballasts/bulbs/wiring.
