Black Zs with painted headlights
 

Let's see those black Zs with painted/modified headlights. I'm interested in getting mine done, but haven't seen many black Zs with painted headlights in the DIY thread or the ONEighty thread. Looking for ideas!

Anyone?

Just painted mine a few weeks ago, didn't want to do black because I thought it would be too dark for a black Z. Painted it gunmetal, will probably open it back up and paint the shrouds black later

Not mine, a friends NISMO..

I'm interested as well. I have an '11 Base+Sports MB and was going to have one-eighty do it when I was in the market for a silver Z. Now...I don't know. I like the carbon-accent on that Nismo, Nut N Much, but would probably try a VHT spray coat over the chrome.

doing mine now, satin black and orange

Mine will show up at ONEighty tomorrow. Doing solid magnetic black with single halos.

Mine have no halo's or LEDs. Just color matched to the body.

This was my concern as well.

Thanks for the pics guys, some good looking headlights here. Those of you with work in progress, remember to post pics when they're done!

I've been wondering the same thing for a while now.

Thought about leaving the housing chrome or maybe doing it silver to match wheels/door handles and panting the shrouds and reflector black.

Maybe someones photoshop skills are way better than mine and would be willing try something like that.

Satin black with red shrouds.

I am getting back my headlights Tuesday from 180 and they did great work! Cant wait to install them :tup::tup:

They do great work from what I've seen. However, I did my own for around $20:

Black Housing, LED Landing Strip, Amber reflector and amber parking delete with 5000k LED parking added:

I agree with pfdaxe. There are a few good DIY'S out there to show you how to do them. From simple paint to complicated mod. please don't spend a bunch of money to have someone do them.

It take a day to finish a set. There is also lot of peeps to call if you need it. $900.00 or $175.00 DIY.

What ever you do, the simplest mods always look the best and are timeless. Good luck.

You must put up pictures!!! I am really interested to see orange. :happydance:

I'm on the fence about doing them myself. I did them on my last car, and had pretty good results. I had some condensation in one light, but it was an easy fix. If anything I learned some good lessons the first go around.

Those are some great looking lights pfdaxe. How reliable have your LEDs been? Any issues?

Thanks. I've had them for about 5 or 6 months with no issues. But, I only drive the Z once or twice a week.

does any one know any one in southern cali that can paint my head light housing and shrouds? i'm new to this forum.

thank You.

These were from MR Works out of San Diego who are no longer in business if I recall.

Great choice. Looks good

does anybody know where i can purchase good quality halos for my Z?

Got my done at Oracle Lighting of Houston. I like the way it turned out and will have the Z at Coffee and Cars this weekend.

In need of a photo shoot... This is the only shot i have of my headlights

what camera did you use to take these shots? :eek:

Jon Wilson formerly of AAM Competition took the photos for me and I'm not sure what setup he used. I personally asked him to take photos of my Z for me though as his techniques always result in fantastic photos.

Great Thread! I have been thinking about doing something with my headlights. This has definitely given me some inspiration.

Had to have mine shown...
