Go with Tony@CFE's contact. you cant really go wrong with it. 180 is hella expensive! i got the same work done with half the price! =)

At the price some of these people charge, you should just try it yourself and if you mess it up buy a new light. You would still save money.

The difference in what the DIY job does and what I and 180 do are completely different. The build materials like LEDs and such are different along with sized wires and resistors. Follow the DIY and its a pretty permanent wiring job... I myself have incorporated some quick disconnects so that you can change your bulbs... Something to think about. I did Moses with cf elements original headlights at his home for him in the middle of winter.... Dam it was a few cold days.

If your looking for quality LEDs check out Oznium.com they are expensive but are the best pre built LEDs on the market for the DIYer. Remember for the higher end LEDs it requires modifications to the back of the landing strip to get them to sit flat. I will say that it takes a good 20+ hours to drill and shave down the backside with out f'ng it up! I have done several headlights and the hours stay the same... 20+ for both strips and the middle of the strip is the hardest!!! If your in the southeast and you need a quick turn around I can help any members who would like help. Also expect about $260-$400 for automotive paint and that's dependent on what you want done.

I recently tackled this and it took a few days, but saved a ton. I worked on the headlights all week after work and total cost..........Less that $20

After I took apart the headlights, I applied the Krylon Fusion Satin and installed the LEDs. It takes 18 total, but I purchased a couple of extra. The LEDs I purchased cost .48 a piece and the color is around 5000k matching my LED parking lights. The LED's are 5mm with built-in resistors which made things a lot easier. They are super bright and crisp & clean. Here's a link to where I purchased them from:

5mm 12v Pre-Wired LED White Ultra Bright 15,000 mcd

I would suggest doing this its just $20 and if it doesnt turn out good send it to 180. Worth a shot.

wow **** talking on 180 and no one knows what they charge...

they are worth every bit of it as an FYI.. im sending my next cars headlights to them again.

Unless you have worked with 180 or been quoted there is no need for the **** talking on them. They do great work and they do not rattle can paint your headlights... its automotive paint and with an awesome show finish. I and others have worked with them to pioneer new and innovative ideas for our car headlights. They also dont use 5mm LED's... They use a higher end super flux led which lasts longer is more reliable and is brighter.

I've seen 180's work and I agree it is excellent work BUT the customer service is SH!T, I put money down had it there for months and nothing was done was given the run around constantly and after being taken for a joke i took my money and spent it on other things. If you don't mind being toyed with then 180 does great work and i suggest it if you have the patience

daisuke149

Their customer service has been nothing but great for me.

After 15 months I call them and they still remember who i was and exactly what i had done.

They went above and beyond for my work and kept me up to date.

I know this doesn't help your situation but ive come to realize that anytime someone complains on the internet, its never exactly like they say it is.

Mr&Mrs

I used 180 on our first 370z. I had to keep calling them to get the lights to me. Found out the plastic tab on the top of the light was broken off (they said during shipment). Was not able to get a new light even with 2k insurance on the package through FedEx. I also payed for a shaved lading strip which was not done.

I was able to look past all of these problems because of the hassle to ship the lights to them. I even went as far as to source them for our new 370z and due to horrible customer service decided they were not worth it to me again.

I know every company has there issues every once in a while but two times with the same person is lame.
