Pulling the lights apart was scary. The hole time I was worried about braking the plastic. The light housing has plastic tabs along the sides once to get those unclipped just peal them back. Takes a lot of strength to pull apart, if it cools off in the middle of it put it back in the box and heat it up again. After the first one you see how strong the lights are just don't use screw drivers or tools to pry with that will warp or brake the plastic.

So I've been out of the loop for a min.

i did however complete a total sound deadening project. GTMAT.com is the ****!

I ordered the light mod (370 Specific) and a (backlight) amber switch from AAC.com.

Initial impression of this company is NOT so good.

upon completion of my order i received a email from a company rep. they stated they needed:
1. Credit card authorization form
2. a scanned copy of my ID
3. a scanned copy of my card

I said- i will NOT send you any of that, you can process my order or i will shop else where.

I still need to contact the company and make sure they are aware of the email.

After all that he company double charged me. i have two pending charges for $199

Parts are scheduled to be delivered on thursday and i will start the mod on saturday.

Mod plan
1. get at the lights (drop the front facia)
2. pull the lights.
3. open the lights
4. separate the components
5. black out the housings
6. paint the lens housings red
- gonna also pull the engine bar and paint that red (ZR1 hose kit, Red coming soon and red effects LEDs)

Ill post pics and thoughts as i do it.

I just bought the LED halo kit from the link posted on the opening page. No issues and package got here in a timely manner. Although, i did have a question. It lists several things like balasts and the like, but all that came were the 2 rings. Thats it. The package it came in said the shipping weight was only one pound and indeed the package was just a single pound. Still seemed kind of odd.

I assume you just run the power wires to a 12v, then put a switch in between.

How many wires are coming off the Halo's?

can you upload a picture?

they advertise it as plug and play? How are the instructions?

Vichtz · 08-19-2012, 03:04 PM

instructions are kind of vehicle specific. With these listed as 370z/350z instructions. Also, they are emailed in a pdf form, not actual hard copy. Its just red and black wires and the rings. Typical stuff, I'll probably just splice them into the parking lights though, just for ease of use and the ability to control the brightness of the gauges (so I can have my park lights on and still see my gauges during the day). All in all, probably not worth 170 bucks, so you might wanna check the other thread and see how much the rings cost separately from lightwurks, cause this comes with nothing but the rings. I attached 2 pdfs, but the 350z-370z instructions are too large to attach. Also added a pic of the rings that it came with.

Nut_N_Much · 08-19-2012, 09:16 PM

LightWurkz charged me $140.00 for the set and $25.00 more for the smaller second set. They came wired up to a control box that pluged into a ground and 12v source.

There rings are 1/4 thick, yours looks thinner and would sit deeper into the shroud for a clean look.

Vichtz · 08-19-2012, 10:39 PM

yea they seem well made, but i figured there would be more to it

ericzmyers · 08-20-2012, 05:44 PM

hmmmm, we shall see. Mine are on track for thursday delivery.

AND NOW THE COMPANY HAS TRIPLE CHARGED MY ACCOUNT! Three charges for $190, not to happy about that.

i will begin the install on saturday morning. Gonna read back through Nut_N_Much thread and get the product list from his stuff.

On the fence about the shroud paint.......

Man I'm sorry to here that. I would loose my mind

. I hope you get your money back. I was curious about there halo's, man that sucks..

Vichtz · 08-20-2012, 10:10 PM

Ugh that sucks. I had that happen to me but I was reimbursed so you should be just fine. I've been all over trying to find an oven big enough to fit my headlights haha, but its really a challenge. As soon as I find one, I'll film and put up a DIY video on opening these bad boys. Ive done boiling before too to open headlights so I might try that, but finding a pot big enough is a serious challenge too (and I have a huge one for shrimp boils

) At any rate, I will video the entire process once I get the chance to do it. Maybe I'll try the cardboard box idea hahaha but gotta find a heat gun...

Check out Nut_N_Much thread, he built a sweet *** oven out of a cardboard box and a heat gun.

Vichtz · 08-20-2012, 10:21 PM

yea thats what I was talkin about at the end there, but I have no heat gun. How much do they run, I always have a need for more tools, so I might as well get one
