Nice. I want to do this when I get my Z. Just afraid of the baking part.

cgust · 02-11-2013, 10:03 PM

Looks great! Something I'm hoping to do this spring as well. Nicely done.

Nothing to the baking I put it in at 230 for 13 min I placed the light on a baking sheet I put a damp rah under the headlight.

It's not really that hard to get open. Just try to double seal them when closing.

TaylorRyan370 · 02-11-2013, 10:26 PM

They should come black from the factory like the HIDs on the Camaro. No need for the chrome surround with a projector light.

Wonka2581 · 02-11-2013, 10:27 PM

raymondo510 · 02-12-2013, 07:26 AM
