Nice job!

I find they look so great on red and blue Z's because of the large contrast with the black.

My headlight barely fit in my oven, did one in the oven (on a baking sheet with a wet towel) the other I used a hairdryer.

Hair dryer? So a heat gun would work then right?

Thanks! To everyone who is going to try this mod please TAKE YOUR TIME! I cannot stress that enough, and for the red I used color matched paint to my Z if anyone wants the info on where to purchase the paint pm me, It came already mixed In a spray paint can super EZ.

Yes a heat gun will work but be careful you don't hear one spot up too much and warp or melt your headlight.

Just watched some of the videos. Looks like way too much work lol.

Wonka2581 02-13-2013 06:25 PM

If its to much I think there is some members that do the work you have to just send them your lights, try to look up 180 customs I think don't hold me to it

Where did you get the color matched paint? PM me if you must, but I don't see why it can't be public information?

Wonka2581 02-13-2013 07:19 PM

Very true! I got it from automotive touch up.com there number is 888-710-5192 before you call you must have your paint color code you can get it from the dealer.

Yup, but this way no need to remove any connections or wiring...heat gun faster for sure, just more chance of warping something if not paying attention.

and +1 on Automotive Touch Up, amazing OEM paint in a spray can :tup:
