How much did cincity charged you?
How well is holding up?
Are the led's as good as the audi's?
PICS?
Last question here, do you have to turn it on your self or does it turn on and off automatically when you start your car and shut your car down? I think the audi's stays on until you shut off the car.

The Luxeon K2 is in my 194 parking light (also trunk, dome, and license plate lights).

Great job with your head lights! I had them swap out the amber LED for a white one with my head lights. Reflectors stock, but painted black underneath for a "tinted" look. :-)

plain sick

your organization and detailed step by step with quick view attachments are a god send. I am currently building up the ball sack to attempt this. I definately will be asking for your help on the wiring harness. I just hope we dont see these things popping up in every car.

Thanks, I'm hoping it proves useful for people here on the forum.

I personally think it wouldn't be too bad if they were on a lot of Z's. While it may take away a little bit if the unique-ness, it still grabs a ton of attention on the road, which is awesome. I can't even count how many thumbs-up and compliments I have gotten with them, not to mention the people that break their necks trying to see it for longer :)

Wow, blacked out headlights look SOOOOO at home on our Z's.. would have made a lot more sense for them to do at the factory!

As far as the amber reflectors go, some may like it, some may not, but i am one that does like it :tup:

My black wheels when they finally get here will tie it together much better :)

please do so!!!

Wow... so late in the game.
-You'll need to contact CiNcity for price quotes.
-No issues here.
-Checkout my photo album.
-They route the wires out, so it is up to me to wire them the way I want. I wired them to my parking lights.

That's insanely cool looking. As soon as a kit is available i'll do it. I don't have the time to fabricate it from scratch.

Very nice job.

There are a few companies doing this on our site now. check out MRworks or 180 customs if you are interested
