My hands... got inside the headlight...Iron-Mannnn
 
So Mike (bullitt5897) sent in his headlights for some experiments. Thankfully the headlights clear my oven by about a few millimeters on each side, which allows me to expand my work onto 370z's.

These headlights are a lot harder to open up than the G37's we've been working on for the past year, and there's also a nice amount of designs and ideas we can make happen on them.

Mike decided to keep it unique and not put in the "landing strip" like everyone plans on doing, we also went with a 2-tone color combo on his housing, obsidian black and pearl white. The amber reflector is going to be painted black obsidian, and the projector shroud and turning signal shroud will be painted semi-matte black.

Now for the best part... I was able to incorporate Iron-Man I invented for the G37's, and made it happen on the 370z. A blue "Demon Eye" will also be installed into the projector. Both mods wired to a separate switch.

Anyway, we will be taking orders as soon as we become an official vendor on The370z.com and receive our shipment of LED's.

Purdy!

jimmy99 05-08-2009 07:29 PM

deffiantly going to buy this mod when it becomes available, I would be interested in seeing the landing stripe LED too.

DannyGT 05-08-2009 08:15 PM

Very nice!

But thats not finished yet right ? which part will be black ?

SoCal 370Z 05-08-2009 08:19 PM

I would like DIGItonium's take on these as he is a whiz regarding LEDs and their respective quality. I know he uses expensive LEDs in his DIY projects.

CBRich 05-08-2009 09:12 PM

Color matched headlights are just beautiful.

We use superflux LED's, individually wired with their own resistor, I can assure you that we have top quality LEDs, unless you can point me in a direction for more expensive/higher quality ones, I'd love to use the best I can find.

So will this be the same as for the G37? Where you send in your headlights I would assume thats probably right as there wouldnt be many 370z headlights hanging around lol.

In for Pics of Win:tup:

TacoZ 05-09-2009 12:39 AM

Please post more pics as you're finishing up this project. I am definitely going to have you do the ironman mod when it is available.

VIP-STATUS 05-09-2009 01:22 AM

nice!:tup:

Rogue Z 05-09-2009 05:09 AM

damn your Z is gonna run on two Arc Reactors...lol. Sick lights.

Namir 05-09-2009 01:03 PM

The white looks awesome. I assume this is going on a pearl white Z?

the amber reflector, projector shroud and turning signal :rolleyes: reading is fundamental :)..... its not finished yet he just wanted to show pics

molamann 05-09-2009 02:14 PM

I've been hearing this "ironman" from quite a few people and now, the pictures speak for themselves. :D

nogoodname 05-09-2009 02:25 PM

nice job and you told me it wasn't possible.......lol

LiquidZ 05-09-2009 02:39 PM

Pretty cool actually.

I think I would prefer white LED's if I ever went with this mod.

nogoodname 05-09-2009 02:41 PM

he'll do white, blue and even red....lol...whatever you like

frost 05-09-2009 02:45 PM

A black 370 with red lights would be about the sexiest thing ever. They put red halos on a special edition camaro and I about fell in love.

nogoodname 05-09-2009 02:47 PM

i like angel eyes but only if they are thin like that Camaro.

the ones on the G are fat angel eyes, looks really ugly.....needs to be thin

bullitt5897 05-09-2009 04:03 PM

I want to make a correction: the demon eye will be Red. Igor and Kessel have done an amazing job so far! I will be ecstatic once these bad boys come home :D We are waiting on the final painting process and final assembly and I should have them back here in Atlanta. I will have a full write up and review with lots of pics of these bad boys and (Ben) Semtex is going to help me with a video of the functionality and quality.

antennahead 05-09-2009 04:09 PM

That looks sweet...... I want the blue LEDs on my Z

bullitt5897 05-12-2009 10:31 PM

the headlights arent in yet but once they are in town you will get alot of pics :D

tonmed123 05-13-2009 02:48 AM

Id only go for the blue LED w only the grey shrouds color matched and leave the chrome alone. I really want that done. Please keep us up to date. Nice.

shabarivas 05-13-2009 10:57 AM

Ha ha ... I just want mine painted black w/ the blue in-projector light which can be turned off and on

bullitt5897 05-15-2009 04:09 PM

Waiting on headlights to get here... they were promised to be here priority overnight delivery which means I should have them Saturday Morning by 8:30am.

I will post pics and videos after installation Saturday morning.

Nukluk 05-15-2009 07:49 PM

I'm VERY interested in getting the blue "Demon Eye" LED lights, but keeping the rest of my headlights stock. Is this something you'd be interested in doing?

Also, you mentioned they have their own switch. Where do you usually put the switch? I have the auto-trans, so have a spot open to the right of my stickshift (see pic). Can you put a push-button there?

I also agree with Frost and Crown. That camaro's halo effect is awesome. Wonder if you can do something like that in either red or blue...

nizz23sd 05-15-2009 08:36 PM

my 370z is going to sema this nov.in vegas..i have the car fully stripped..i have this company working on full carbon to show...would you be interested to advertise your headlight using my car this nov? send me a message..john

Some pics from the track day!

TacoZ 05-18-2009 11:41 PM

This looks sweet but I think I'll have to go with a complete black housing and white LEDs for mine.

Can you give us more information about the wiring and switches (on/off)? And can we get more pics of the demon eye? The pics didn't come out too good (probaby cause it's during the day).

DJcuetip 05-19-2009 06:38 AM

nice... a little too extreme for my liking.. but definitely props for a clean job

bullitt5897 05-19-2009 07:43 AM

I havent attached the on/off switch yet and everything is tied into the DRLs. I will take some night pics for everyone :D

Chupacabra 05-19-2009 01:06 PM

I have a question.

although i love the painted look, aren't you guys scared, that you are screwing up with the reflector design of the headlights, and thus not getting the best out of your lights??

bullitt5897 05-19-2009 01:26 PM

no... simply put bmw's dont have them for their projectors why should we... Plus I havent noticed any decrease in performance at all.

Slidefox 05-19-2009 01:53 PM

Those look sweeeeet!!
