Any issues with LED contact failure rates? We've found over time the individual LED's tend to have problems....

Wow....great LED work, man. I'd like to see something like that for the Z.

Just finished this mod on my Pearl White Z and it turned out awesome! I want to thank Caravanshaka for his great DIY and his willingness to answer all my questions. I used a heat gun instead of the oven and used Krylon Fusion "Dover White" spray paint to paint the projector shroud and turn signal shroud. The "Dover White" matched the Pearl White perfectly (in my opinion) and only cost $5! Attached are some pictures:

Here is mine. Did not follow this thread but oh well. Same results. I made everything black except the HID shroud. Orange reflectors and everything.

Measure the distance between the front 2 dimples on your headlights and make the wiring between them at least a half inch longer than that. I thought I mentioned how long mine were, but I could be wrong. You wont see the resistors in pictures, they are pretty small and under shrink wrap.

Also if anyone has white and is contemplating black or white shrouds I hope this helps. I would have liked to see it when I was doing mine.

Im not a fan of the LEDS in the headlight housing myself. The angle just does not look quite right. Maybe along the bottom, but i would rather have nothing.

^nice....What I also would like to see is the landing strip painted white to match the lines of the fender. I think that would look sweet.
