A switch is a really good idea. It will look sick on the white Z :tup:

Picked these up from them today.. another set was there with custom silver housing with PG shrouds with single orb...

Both mine and that set looked incredible... These guys do ridiculous work and are super cool and helpfull... I couldn't be more pleased with the lights or the service...

They took a bunch of pics , I can't wait to see them...

The duel orbs look insanely good with the headlights on and off... I stopped once at the gas station on the way home and got a comment out of the first person that looked at them saying they were "sick" ... I was un-sure of how much I would like the orbs but in person they look great... and the housing in flat black, with the silver shrouds left alone on my PW look friggen great... the work is flawless.

I def recommend them to anyone thinking about modding their headlights... They gave me a wire out of each light to run to a switch with enough extra wire to run around my car twice, lol... They don't cheap out and do an incredible job.

Chuckd05, mind sharing some pictures to irritate my jealousy? :D :D :D:D :D :D

chuckd05 06-10-2011 11:29 PM

Igor took shots... I'm sure he will post them soon... I will take some but he had the tripod out taking some good ones so his will prob be better than mine as he knows how to capture the rings and lights much better than I can... but I will post pics as well once I get some good ones.

b1adesofcha0s 06-13-2011 05:06 PM

That's the look I want for my Z..!!! :tiphat:

GingaBreadMan 06-15-2011 08:59 AM

Wow that looks incredible. Would there be any issues with the application process since I have tinted headlights?

Shouldn't be any issues, but sometimes when you bake the headlights with the tint it may start peeling. Why tint them in the first place? Let's do some painting ;)

I didn't want anything permanent. With tints if I get tired if them I can take them off. I like the set up on the white Z. Pm a price with and without landing strip please

But then you have the ring that becomes permanent. You'll always be able to swap headlights with other members/z-owners, even when you don't want to ! lol

Film/tint over the headlights takes away all the nice curves and details that make the headlight so great to begin with. It's like putting big doofy glasses on a model lol.

bullitt5897 06-17-2011 03:01 PM

^^^ Agreed... Paint the housings! You will kick yourself in the butt later if you dont. Painted housing are hard to come by on the forums and if you ever go to sell them they will sell fast...

I've noticed most painted lights are too dark, I just hope the tints don't take away from the Orbs. I will be by the shop soon

why not just remove the tints? The headlights look so good after they are modded... why make them harder to see!! Plus you will have better light output with no tints...

looks so awesome!
I want to do this... :drool:

GingaBreadMan 06-20-2011 09:30 AM

Once the dual orbs are completed what is used as a front turn signal?

The turn signal remains. The original plastic casing/lens is replaced by a projector lens. So it looks like the headlight has dual projectors.

Jamaica 06-20-2011 05:51 PM

Man makes me wanna have my headlights redone..

This is what I'll be doing. :tup:

Is it possible to put a 2nd demon eye in the turn signal housing?

chuckd05 06-21-2011 12:45 PM

Your normal turn signal. I'm sure they can wire things differently but our stock clear cap was replaced by a projector Lens and the turn signal bulb is inside of it.


Oops. Didn't see it was answered.


Igor can you do the demon eyes right now ? I thought about that after I got them done.

GingaBreadMan 06-21-2011 02:39 PM

What's demon eyes?

ONEighty 06-22-2011 05:15 PM

No demon eyes guys, sorry. That mod has been discontinued. Will try to make it work again in the future

Hopefully I'll have my set next week! Bought a set of headlights and they showed up with a broken tab on one assembly. It may be able to be fixed, we'll see. 180 will have them Monday! :tup:

chuckd05 07-15-2011 10:36 PM

Two more pics to show the awesomeness
