Wouldn't the heat still somewhat heat the attached mirrors? Just a thought...

Stays there pretty good. Had triple digit weather many times since and so far so good.

Part 1 -- July 18 install. Work done by George at GY Custom Lighting aka paperboy.

RetrofitSource STi-R Clear Lenses - Headlights and signal lights.
Top and bottom Morimoto XB Angel Eyes.
Black housing
White Shroud

The STi-R clear lenses provide brighter, clearer, and sharper output than the stock lenses. This is a great mod in itself. The angel eyes however makes it way better and enhances the set. While the black housing and white shroud ads personality. It gives the car a great look.


He was painting in another area aka his paint booth so to speak but I covered the car anyway for good measure.

Too many pcs on the Z's headlight to begin with. Too much work involved.

Part 2 -- July 18 install. Work done by George at GY Custom Lighting aka paperboy. I would recommend him if you decide to mod your headlights. BTW, he is working on a Tesla! He is that good.

I washed my air filters while the bumper was off. Worked out great 'cause I do not like taking the bumpers off this car. Too low and a little tight for me mounting on the fenders.

It works!

Both sides installed. Yes I brought my own ramps. Always in the car.

Finished finally.

I really like how it came out. Headlight is more pronounced and does a better job at night. Tested on my way home and what a difference the lenses make. Not to mention the nice looking angel eyes.

More headlight shots. My son saw and loved how nice it looked. Got so many thumbs up on these lights since I got it done.

I need a better camera. Sorry guys.

Thanks. Do you mind being a little bit more specific and explain why he should not use the FX35 lenses. If your saying using the infiniti fx35 lens, no it was not used. If your saying because of the heat generated by the projectors, he put a metal plate on the housing floor to hold the temps. I noticed a square metal plate right in front of the lenses and asked him why it was there. I'm not sure if all projectors generate the same amount of heat.

You will need to PM paperboy. Let him know exactly what you want for a precise quote. More work = More $.

Went to Fast Intentions for a small 1 hour job. In the process, Tony discovered bad differential bushings. Time to replace. Not going back to OEM so I'm looking for Whitelines or SPL. The latter is much more expensive. I have to baby the car for a little bit until I can get is scheduled back at F.I. or Corner 3.

My car up on a lift. For some reason my driver side bracket needed to be re-welded. One hour job and I was out. I met Blake and saw his boosted Z and saw his dad's GTR. The red one below.

Tony's shop is clean, yes there were some boxes or parts laying around but it is clean. I like well run and well kept shops.

So, for your headlights, you used four STi-R clear lenses? One for each projector and one for each signal light?

The two stock projectors were replaced. One set was STi R the other was either the TSX r or FX r. I compared between the STi and the OEM headlights. The stock projectors had rings that you can see when examined. The replacements were clearer and void of any imperfections. On my way home, i can tell how much better these projectors were. The lines were distinctive. The signal light was cut open and the projectors were put in it's place using epoxy.
