The blinker lens is a bit too clear though.

You know my last name is Fortune , we might be related.. Looks great man. Nice and clean. What id you do to hide the seam of the lens being epoxyed ob the shroud? Just tape it off and paint.. Looks really good.

I am soda blasting Mr&Mrs shrouds. Some of the chrome reacted with the paint and caused a mess. The soda takes it all off with out damaging the shrouds.

Working on the demon eye wiring, he has a strange wire harness I have to figure out.

Joe Message Dave (Dembflyr) he can help you out. He still checks his PM's. Even if he told me i probably wouldnt be able to explain it to you.

By the way Fortune nice job!

Unfortunately, I don't think we're related since Fortune is just the name of the body kit on my other car. I don't have a seam on the shroud to hide. I epoxyed the lens directly to the blinker housing. So for the shroud I just:

1. Cut off the stock lens
2. Used a dremel to take a bit more out of the inside
3. Took a hole saw and put some sand paper around it and then just spun it around in the hole by hand to give it a good clean circle and remove the high spots from the dremel
4. Painted the whole shroud

For the lens, I put a thin line of epoxy on the very top of the housing. Then very carefully lined up and lowered the lens onto the housing. Then proceeded to epoxy the side of the lens and the housing. There is a very high possibility of screwing this part up and getting epoxy on the inside of the lens. If I had more time, I'd say fabbing up a little metal cover that secures the lens to the housing would be the ideal solution.

I'm glad I went with the RGB leds, and I got a cheap little controller for them to select the color, etc. They are a royal pain to solder though. I'll get some video once I install the controller.





It's raining now, so we'll see how well my headlights are sealed. If I had to do it over, I'd say a ton of little c-clamps would make resealing the headlights a breeze with a heat gun.

Luner-Eclipse stopped by today and got his lights freshened up. Great color combo; Satin Black w/Color Match Paint from AutomtiveTouchUp 40th Edition Paint Code. I love doing lights for real Z owners. Drives it every day, cool guy, beautiful car. For once, NO LED's....

Hey fellas as I do lights from other makes and models I keep the info on what I used. So if your interested in doing yours or a friends let me know I'll give you what I know. Of course its all at your own risk (Disclaimer). I am no wiring genius I just look for the parking light harness or wire a switch.

Still trying to find the XB style halo's for the BMW's and Lexus. They don't use a circle they have 1/2 moon & Lexus is oblong. Don't like the quality of the kits out there so if anyone has a lead on an RGB or XB style halo in those shapes please share.

Thanks
