HALO HEADLIGHTS ANYONE in the GTA?
 
Does anyone in toronto or GTA have halo headlights and blacked out ? Ive only seen 1 black Z with blacked out base and halos a week ago at Fox n the fiddle parking lot but didn't get the chance to ask the owner. I've been wanting to get these since I was born lol

I know a lot of people prefer to DIY this, but this could be PITA if not done properly.
Baking headlights in oven is one thing, but you may broke tabs or parts in the process, or may get condensation down the road if you don't seal it properly. I've been there done that w my previous cars. So i fully understand why you want to have this done professionaly.

There seems to be a few shops around in GTA like Revomod, Wired Ridez, and Toronto Custom lights, but i've also seen some mixed reviews about them.
If you are willing to ship the headlights to the states, 180 seems like a way to go.

Ottawa Halos

I live just West of Ottawa and did my halos a few months ago. I painted only the shrouds black as I like the look of the chrome so I left the housings "as-is". Baking the headlights was very easy to do and there are LOTS of posts on how to do this. It's remarkably difficult to take a good picture of a set of halos when they are on!

Ya I've heard mixed reviews for one's you've mentioned and 180 seems to be the bear bet but there's no way I'm shipping my lights anywhere.
Just sucks that the car I saw that had it done the owner wasn't around.
It would be nice to buy a pair of used 370z headlights and possibly practise

I just redid my badge on an old car to practice before doing my Z and after using the heat gun for only seconds, the paint came off the size of a nickel from the front and back... I'm a super patient and careful person, that screw up right there is deterring me from doing the headlights on my Z. I want them before the car gets too old and a nicer Z comes out

Close enough. Nice 8 hour drive away. They will do the headlights in one day, back before curfew.

Although not local to GTA, just had my lights done by Will at Prolightz in Gatineau. Very professional shop.
