those are sick. thanks for making the video... we have never really had anyone make an on car video... we barley even get pictures haha.

Ryan,

These are looking great :tup:

Now, get to work on the rear fog light, people are looking for other options other then just a fog, there is a thread around here somewhere. I'll post up later. :tup:

DIGItonium 06-02-2009 12:30 AM

No problem! I might find some time this Friday to take some additional photos with my friend's DSLR camera in various lighting (i.e., sunset). Too bad the rest of the exterior mods won't get around until late next year. It needs a subtle CF lip to complete the front end look.

The satin black finish and projector signals definitely give the headlights a GT-R look.

BTW, the STOCK turn signal bulbs fit perfectly fine with the projector lens.

I had issues with my custom LED bulbs. One was over extended and kept hitting the glass. The other had too large of a diameter to fit in the housing. I'll get around to LED turn signal conversions sometime this July.

i want this mod on my 370 but every time i contact them for a price quote i never get an answer

CBRich 06-03-2009 10:38 AM

Here we go with the fog light again. LOL. If you guys decide to do some work with that I'm going to need it to illuminate with a steady flashing during reverse and also have an external switch to turn it on during foggy/rainy conditions. Just let me know when you've got that knocked out. Thanks.

That looks VERY cool. The landing strip LEDs are perfect, imo!

I would like to keep the chrome vs having it painted black. And I like the look of the halo around the front projector.

Did you end up with any switches/toggles/etc inside? Or does it all work seemlessly with the OEM switches for lights, turn signals, etc?

Thank you! If you leave it unpainted, then the dimples can double as reflectors for the LEDs due to the way it is positioned (forward facing and mounted towards the back end of the dimple).

The video demonstrates the possibilities of lighting effects and options CiNcity is capable of, but is NOT implemented with my set. Therefore, the LED strip is simply tapped into my parking light wire.

Please note, the LEDs are much whiter in person. With ~6500K color temp, it shows up more blue on camera.

I'll be taking more photos in various lighting conditions and in motion tomorrow afternoon.

Wow these are beyond Sexy :D
When I receive my Z I want a peice of this for sure :D
What are the pricing on them?

Believe me... pictures don't do it justice. My friend took photos late afternoon. We didn't get around to doing some night shots, but I'll try to take them with my camera tonight. The landing strip LEDs are very bright. All of them together light up the front of my house! It's not even that blue, which is comforting.

cdawg410 06-06-2009 01:43 PM

So I've seen the question asked a million times but haven't seen the answer........ how much? I don't plan on doin much to my car, but I gots to get a set of those eyes.

Sibze 06-06-2009 09:19 PM

I agree, I want to get the LED's however looking for a price...

DIGItonium 06-06-2009 10:07 PM

Sorry guys, I don't want to quote prices online. You PM me or you can contact CiNcity directly.

Shunya 06-06-2009 11:50 PM

Still I love these things :D

jmlenz 06-08-2009 02:14 PM

This headlight design is almost exactly what I am looking for...nothing fancy just matte black housing and the forward facing LEDs. I dont even need the 2nd projector mod or the fancy parking light bulbs.

Looks VERY clean!

SeeyaBud86 06-08-2009 06:14 PM

yea let me know about those headlights, im definately going to get those

^ wow that is hot...

1 quick question. I notice when people are doing soemthing with their headlights, they always take their bumper off (on the 370). Is it necessary to change th headlight?

Unfortunately, this is the case with our cars. I think this is perfect time to install long tube intakes as well, but I intend to leave my intakes alone.

I tried to do a 2nd take last night, but there was still too much sunlight. If it gets too dark, the lighting looks exaggerated. If it doesn't get stormy, I'll try get some more footage. Overall, the LED strips look nice as DRL on cloudy days or by sunset.

DannyGT 06-09-2009 03:44 PM

can we get higher rez - multiple photos, because that does look great!

CBRich 06-09-2009 08:30 PM

Wow, that shot has me sold. If the wife wouldn't kill me I'd be preheating the oven right now.

Nah, too much. I wanted to keep it simple. The landing strip LEDs were tacky enough lol.

All good, I kept getting bombarded so I had to put the message up. I kept in touch with Nic in regards to the design to make sure it went well. He threw in the projector idea as a final touch. I need to get around to reworking my LED signal bulbs to get them to fit.

vman 06-12-2009 08:11 PM

any word on how much this will cost? those lights are tight.....

Ryan@CiNcity 06-16-2009 03:54 PM

well it seems we have alot of interest in these so tomorrow i will get a breakdown on the pricing. nic and his wife had their baby today so he has been absent for a bit. ill try to get some info from him tomorrow.

but expect to send in your lights or buy a brand new set. if you buy a brand new set you will be refunded the amount once we get your stock ones back and verify the condition.

if your interested in pricing send me a PM.

miguez 06-16-2009 06:07 PM

Hey, congrats to Nic and wife!!!!!!!!

Tell Nic congrats to him and his family. He told me the good news when I text him earlier today. I'll be out of town pretty soon, so I just wanted to touch base with you guys after sending you my stock headlights.

All, here's my last update. Please view Post #1, or browse my photo album.
