Hey everyone i finally had the courage to do black housing headlights... first off i didnt upload anypics yet cuz my comp is laggy today ill post pics tomoro.. anyways... i was thinking of making a DIY for this... everyone please let me know if you guys want a DIY section for this mod... all you really need is patience and a heat gun... :happydance: but back to my headlights... the shity part about this mod is its a pain in the ***!!!! seriously but i think its worth it... and it only cost about 20 bucks =) but i just wanna remind all of you its 20 bucks to do but if you crack ur headlight... :shakes head: omg thats like im guessing 500 bucks a pop... :eek:
|

|
Get an Apple Macbook, no laggy, perfect all the time!!!
|
Can't wait to see pics.
|
damnit, I am doing a write-up for LED's and black housing this weekend...you beat me!! :shakes head:
|
hahah LEDs will be welcome :) do you need a heat gun or just an oven and some balls :p?
|
An oven and some balls LOL. I have done a few sets of headlights this way, not the Z but it's basically all the same. It's a pain but saves you quite a bit of money.
|
20 bucks compared to like 200+...something like that....and can go up to a grand

I like what I see but would like to see in the day as well. Looks good and great job.

I'm in a class....LOL.... Talk about being glued to the forum.
|
<- at work looking at the forums, and also looking at my 2 ups notifications for "delivered" regarding my LED's and pearl white color-matched paint! Time to start wiring up my LED's tonight and preparing for the weekend project. I expect it will take both days to complete :)
Now if only I could get a shipment notification on my wheels.... Anyways, thanks for the tip on the paint. you aren't the first one I have seen to suggest krylon fusion, and that was going to be what I used either way. The satin black looks great! |
Where do you connect the LED's to?? Parking lights or signal lights??
|
depends on what you want. I'll be using the parking lights.
|
Black housing definitely looks sick on red!
|
MORNING PICS....

looks great! So how did you black out the fangs out of curioiusity, vinyl or paint?
|
looks good....looks dirty only b/c of the camera.....lol
what if you painted the projector shroud red...that would have looked cool i think it's paint on the fangs |
Looks great! Can't wait to read the DIY!
|

DIY for the Black Fangs? Yes please! This will be one of the first things I will do when I get my car (4 more weeks). And the blacked out headlight housings will probable the 2nd mod. I think it will look great on PG...
BTW: Great job on the headlights and thanks for the tip on the 7 dollar rear overlay mod! |

They had a black GTR at the dealership when I ordered my Z in April, when I went by to check on my order status last week, it was still there, guy who ordered it changed his mind!?!? WTF? To bad I can't afford it... :(
Have fun at the meet, your Z will be a good second, after the GTR :p |
Damnit, I am going to have to do this. I did it on my 350z, and wasn't going to on this one, but they just look soooo much better in black! I did the oven method myself.
