Any Texas headlight modification locations?
 

I was wondering if you guys know of any locations in Texas that will modify our headlights. I wanna paint mine and get the led landing strip on em. Thanks guys. :tiphat:

Bump! I'd like to know as well. Just picked up a 370z a few months back and I would love to get my headlights blackhoused. I'm not confident enough to do it on my own, so I would like to know if there's a reputable shop around Houston that can do it. Thanks!

Congrats on the new ride fellow Texan! :tiphat:

me 3!! but if some1 knows how we should meet and do the mod.

Lets find this place! If not, sounds like a good way to make some money lol. Three people already

I know Ron has done it, I'm looking to do it as well. Did it on my Tundra but iffy on the Z.

I'm sending mine to LightWerkz in NJ. Rather not gamble on them.

I would offer to do them but I don't really wanna take the responsibility of breaking something. As soon as I can find some time I'll help O&G with his.

O&G?

post number 6

ah gotcha gotcha. still learning alot of the forum acronyms. figured that may of been one lol.

I'm planning on doing mine. Flushnismo painted his himself using paint match spray cans from automotivetouchup.com

6 months later and they still look perfect with no condensation.
I'm probly going to go this route as well. There is also a local of the DFW area that has done his black with red shrouds on a black Z that I met at C&C and said would be willing to help if I/anyone ever wanted to do it.

Were are you other 3 that are interested in doing this mod located?

corpus christi

In for Houston, meet up and head light baking lol. RON HELP!!!!!!!!!!

fixed!!!!! Lol

I am also looking at doing the landing strip with LED's in the DFW area.

Keep your man-scapping to yourself! :wtf2:

that's what i'm trying to rock too

Houston

somebody in tx needs to start doing this and make some bank!

I was able to do it myself and it honestly isn't that hard, just very time consuming. I wish I could have had somebody else to help though.

Hey, it helps at night when I have to hit the head with the LED landing strip. I guess I'll have to post a NSFW DIY for that one huh?:bowrofl:

hahaha in for pics lol

:wtf2:

Lol always gotta be one guy who can't take a joke

Ive been considering doing this myself but I kinda like the way they look stock so Im on the fence. Plus if everyone else is doing it then it wont be so different anymore. Idk, if I do end up doing it I can help those in the Houston area. I also have a paint gun and compressor if needed.

Just curious, there was a girl on the H240sx forum named Gixxer, was that you too?

Nope, this is the only car board I'm on....

ok just checking. I guess girls love Gixxers then lol. Nice nismo though!

That would be awesome. If you do decide to help out, I'd be willing to pay. Painting really isn't the issue. It's the disassembling and reassembling of the headlights that worry me.

I think I am going to go for it as soon as I get some time. I saw that someone had made the orange reflector piece carbon fiber and thats what I want to do so Ill be taking mine apart just to do that accent :D. Need to do more research first, Ill post on here when I do it.

well they always say painting is the cake part. its the prep work that matters.

Perhaps youtube works better for some?:ugh2:

que?

no prep work needed if you use krylon paint for plastic. I just cleaned mine with alcohol and then sprayed 4-5 coats waitin 20min in between. 10mos now, not one issue.

any way you could post a DIY if you do O&G's headlights?

There is a DIY already, I added my pics there.

It seems like I'm the oddball out as far as location goes. I think taking your time and letting the paint settle along with taking your time reassembling all of it is key, tearing it apart should be no problem, and the materials are cheap.

I think it's "Kyrylon Fusion" specifically which is what I used on my handles, emblems, and side blinkers. Hey Ron did you add any extra adhesive when reassembling or just use the existing glue? That is one of my biggest questions and if so what exactly did you use?

yep, that's the paint. No extra adhesive, it had plenty in there to seal them back up.
