TAS2020 Debut: 78Works LED headlights and taillights

I would not mind seeing them in OEM silver. Or a mixture of silver and black somehow.

I got my harness from the retrofit source today. Does seem like a nicer harness and larger gauge wire than what shipped with headlights. I just don’t want to go through replacing the existing harness. Might make that a project soon.

Might just replace the fuse on the battery harness.

Just got them installed on my white Nismo v1! Looking sharp

I ended up using the Fuse Harness that the Retrofit Source provided rather than the battery harness because the battery one seemed too thin/flimsy.

DRLs are nice and bright, but the design of the headlights makes them a bit less visible from a side angle when compared to a frontal view.

Definitely the best looking with white Z

So sad

Yeah! I'll get some more pics in soon. I wish the rectangular lining on the LED pods were painted silver or something to accent the overall headlights a bit. It is quite 'black' when DRLs are off, especiallllly on a white Z.

I agree with you on the silver. We'll see what Yuniqueled comes up with.

Looks good Zodiac. I’ll eventually get around to replacing my harness. I’m going to go for the black out look, so I like the black housing. Looks good on the magnetic black IMO. But I agree on the white some accent colors would look good!

I love these lights so far. I also like the contour of the housing. It still has a slight bump on top, but not as much as OEM, or maybe I’m imagining things but it seems to flow with the hood more.

Yeah first thing that struck me was they appear "shorter". I mean of course they aren't, but like you said, the bump does alter the appearance.

And here's another on my white Nismo!
Took it out at night yesterday and the light output was better than expected.
