THANKS! And yes, the reflector was painted the same gloss black as the housing.

Hmm. Not sure what I wanna do with it, Here's what I'm thinking:

Matte Black Housing
Gloss Red Shrouds
Dual LED Halos
White LED Turn Bulb
Gloss Black Amber Reflector
Filled In Dimples
Red Double Demon Eye

If 180* can do demon eyes?

Get rid of the reflector. It just looks better without it.

USAF_troop

Sounds like a good plan. Post pics after you get it done.

Does anyone have any updates available as to whether or not they have experienced condensation, leaks, blown lights etc.?

Very interested in this mod but concerned that on their initial post they state "NO MOISTURE/CONDENSATION AKA PERFECT SEAL" but then only give a 1 year warranty. If it is perfect seal why not warranty the item for greater than 1 year. Likewise on the lights. 6 months does not make me feel warm and fuzzy about product life - it sounds like there is a known issue about these. Is my question/statement inaccurate?

I raise this issue as I was discussing it with someone that works on my car and they said this is a well known issue and to avoid doing it.

Does anyone have any feedback about condensation and LED/ORB lights from '09, '10, '11

Note that these questions are not meant to disparage the work done by 180; their work is obviously aesthetically pleasing and from general comments people are thrilled. I am also not going down the road about price; I believe in paying for value so that is not the issue either. Just want to make sure that there is a realistic usuable life expectancy of the mod and that I won't end up having to buy new lights 366 days from time of install.

180 a few years ago had an issue with some of its LED's but that was a LED manufacturer defect. They have since fixed that issue and I have ran their lights for 2 years with no issues!

My guess is the reasoning that if something were to be wrong or defective, it's going to show itself inside that first year. And if you go a whole year with no problems, I doubt 2 days later it's just going to fall apart.

And with there being a 1 year warranty, I'm sure if you were to have a problem 1 month after that and gave them a call, they're not going to be assholes and tell you to

Lol thanks for the warm n fuzzy. I'd hate for them to go out soon. Anyone know the life span specs on these led's

Cant comment on having their product for a few years...but i had issues with the initial install (couple LEDs on landing strip not lined up right)...but issue corrected very quickly...they paid for shipping both ways to get it right...great communication with those guys.

Def a +1 for the 180 guys, dont have a bad thing to say about them.

This is awesome and I'd do it in a heartbeat BUT (and this is the deal-breaking BUT)... What are we supposed to do if the Z is a daily driver and we live nowhere near your shop in NY??? Can't drive around with no headlights for two weeks....

Now I didn't read through ten pages of the thread so this may have been answered already - the question is will you guys have headlights in stock that you can modify and send out to those of us who can't be without headlights for any period of time? Some kind of core exchange system?
