damnit, I am doing a write-up for LED's and black housing this weekend...you beat me!!

shabarivas · 06-24-2009, 12:06 PM

hahah LEDs will be welcome

do you need a heat gun or just an oven and some balls

?

rreign · 06-24-2009, 12:13 PM

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

LED's arrive tomorrow, along with the factory matched paint. I just have to go pickup the black paint and the resistors and wiring and I'll be ready to pull everything apart saturday

Oh, and post up your DIY Simota, my headlights will be baked open, I won't be using a heat-gun so they will definitely be different. In for pics as well

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

I am liking this, day shots would be nice, any chance of some better quality shots, though it may just be the lighting?
