MR Works headlights - 2theextreme project
 

Hey all! About 2 months ago I contacted Marco @ MR Works to discuss modifying my headlights. What follows are photos of the design and how they turned out installed on my 370.


After confirming with Marco & Ryan about the design I wanted I went a slightly different way than others might. I actually purchased a brand new set of headlights through Z1 Motorsports (a sponsor on the board) and they sent them out to San Diego for modification. Once they arrived, Marco & Ryan began work on them and sent some photos in the early stages:

Now, some photos of the shrouds installed back into the flat black housing. I chose flat black so that it would match my flat black Volk TE-37's.

Now, let's turn these bad boys on.....I asked for Landing Strips, Angel Eyes, and Demon Eyes. They also upgraded my parking light to a much brighter LED.

Next post will include the final look after install. I had them professionally installed. I did not do it myself but I'm sure if you are good with wiring (MR Works can supply you with install instructions for your vehicle if desired) you can do it. :tup:

I've already seen these mothers in person! w00t.

Look good Tony.

Damn Tony! They look :yum:

Marco & Ryan completed my project within about 3 to 4 weeks. Once I received my headlights I made arrangements to get them installed along with some CF parts. Below are photos of how my 370 looks now.....we call it "The Smurf"! :tup:

I have the Landing Strips designed to turn on as soon I turn my parking or headlights on. MR Works included a switch (ON when pushed up, OFF when the switch is in the center position, and ON again in the down position) which controls the Angel and Demon Eyes. I had the switch installed between the heated seat switches. The same place the roadster has the switch that controls the convertible top. Just one thing I have to remember.....if I have the Angel or Demon on I must remember to turn them off. Currently they aren't set to turn off like the headlights (no timer). Let there be modified light!!

So, there you have it! I am a very pleased and happy customer! I just had my first car meet yesterday (April 18) and the headlights were the big draw and discussion on my Z. I was more than happy to let people know: I had my headlights designed by Marco & Ryan at MR Works. :tup:

Also, I sent my original OEM headlights back to MR Works as they "bought" them from me. Those turned into the next "core set" which I understand has already been turned around into a new set of MR Work headlights....these guys are fast! ;)


My upgrade included the following:

MR Works Modded Headlights:
- Housing Flat Black (to match the Volk TE-37's)
- Projector Shrouds - Color-coded (Blue)
- Turn Signal Shroud - Color-coded (Blue)
- Reflector Strip - Color-coded (Blue)
- On/Off/On Switch (to control which modifications come on & when)
- MR Angel Eyes Projector LED's (White)
- Demon Eye (Blue)
- Projector Demon
- Parking Light Demon
- LED design on vertical landing strip (White)

Soo hot! Those look amazing! Congrats!

note to self: in time, in time.

Damn those look impressive.. and I love the options you have with what I assume is switches to vary the lighting areas..

Still get the Short Circuit Johnny Five vibe.. but the good news is it's the angry version when he's pulling out the shoulder mounted laser and people are "bad".. and he's about to reek havoc.. ;)

Impressive stuff..

MR Works FTW!

Thanks everyone! Just one other point I'd like to make.....the average turn around for MR Works to complete a job is between 3 to 14 days depending on the complexity of the modification. In my case MR Works completed mine in between other projects that were already going. They worked very hard to get these completed well before my requested time which was before Z Dayz! :p And they acheived it with no problems! :tup:

Looks awesome Tony!!!! I loveeee you carrr... plus theres a special place in my heart for blue cars with matte accents lol.. Let us know if your ever in San Diego!

:tup: I definately will! I promise. Hopefully later this year.

I've been in contact with MRWorks to get a set myself! WooHoo!

Guess I need to talk to them, too! :tup:

:excited: And I'll eventually get to see the finished product in person!! :tup:
