Love the look of these can't wait to get mine. ConceptZ just shipped mine yesterday should be here Thursday. I think they will look great on my silver Z. I hope they don't have issues like their headlights do. I never got the headlights because of the issues and I think the newer blacked out stock ones look better IMHO.

I noticed a little bit of a fitment issue with the tails. Not major though. Nothing a dremel couldn't fix. I had to elongate the mounting holes a bit for adjustment. To be expected with anything aftermarket.

With mine the lower part of the boomerang protrudes a bit.

Was that your issue as well? If yes, you just made the 10mm bolt hole bigger so you could push the tail assembly in more?

Yes, precisely. The sharp "point" stuck out a bit. I could see microfiber cloths and whatnot catching on it while detailing....had to fix it before it became a bigger broken issue.

Anyone happen to know the specs (or have FSM image) of the interior bolt holding the threads from the back of the assembly? One of mine was missing for some reason.

What sort of dremel head did you use to do this? I was looking at mine and I don't think I have something that would deepend a metal hole...

It was an 1/8" carbide burr

Anyone with some color get the tails? Curious to see it on a red.

I find these Morimoto lights are more of a benefit for people with earlier Z's who have the old style headlamps and tail lamps.

2018+ Zs already come with darkened taillights.

I just upgraded my reverse bulbs, all the turn signals and every other incandescent bulb on the car to LED and called it a day. Now it looks modern and still OEM fit and finish.

The turn signal bulbs I have are 2000 lumens, basically as bright as a headlight and brighter than anything in the Morimoto.

I had my '10 taillights lightly sprayed and cleared so there's some red hue still showing for $100. The clear reverse panel was only cleared. Looks much better IMO than the Morimoto as I think they failed on the line that only lights upon braking and I don't like the horizontal bottom element.

I also have the brighter reverse LED's and similar lumen signals so the dopes on phone piss their panties when I indicate I'M COMING OVER NOW!!!!!!!

Having some issues with the boomerang tip. Looks to be poking out quite a bit.

Which hole did you have to dremel? Do you have any pictures for reference?\
