The 370Z's Head lights

Dreamin'Z · 01-28-2009, 12:19 PM

So are the headlamp replacements already on the market to buy?

OMGWTFBBQ · 01-28-2009, 12:26 PM

I doubt it. When I think of "aftermarket replacement headlamps," my mind immediately thinks of ebay and their horribly made $100 headlights.

No thanks haha. I think at this point, the best and only route, in my opinion, would be to custom the job. Baking your OEM headlights, doing the deed, and resealing everything back up.

lol I just requested a name change to AK to MB370Z.
Yea guys just wait few more weeks Igor/180custom is doing my headlights soonest I get the car! His prices are great and he'll take care of any problems and he's a great guy. So stay tuned!

I've baked like 5 sets of headlights from a few different cars...always a little nerve wrecking the first time you try a new type of headlight. I may do my Z's lights sooner or later... definitely not putting LED's everywhere though thats for sure...

Also Dreamin'Z - FTL is a derivative of FTW which stands for "For the Win". It all started, as most of these computer terms do, in online games like First person shooters and MMORPG's. The terms then migrate into the mainstream and forums as "internet slang". FTW = something that is good, successful or just positive.

To use it in a sentence... "Filling your headlight with LED's to make it look like Audi's or BMW FTL, doing it to be unique and keeping it tastefull FTW."

I'd like to keep my stock headlights and buy a pair for this. (Changing them back and forth would be my goal.)

I'd rather buy them pre-made so I can have both sets and whim's notice.

Those are my GIMP edited pictures (i.e., Photoshopped). It was tedious editing the photo. The photos were submitted to CINCity, but I have no clue how much it costs to do this stuff. I can do electrical work, but I'm also not very handy/crafty.

Contact 180custom guys he does great work with LEDS and proffesional painting

Nah, I don't have my Z yet (Mar/Apr). I'm waiting for someone to fabricate clear/smoke reflector replacements. Maybe you guys can get these mods done first. :-)
