Can you just sell me the LEDs you use for the landing strip?

Not a Z, but we just did a red GTR:

I would love to meet up with you guys for a day and get my headlights done.

I'd love to, but I would have to bring so many tools with me, plus I would need a reliable body shop in your area to paint the parts for me. Plus a big enough oven to fit the headlights. It's better to just ship them here, unless you get like 10 guys in one location to do their headlights, I can fly out there with a friend and knock them all out in 3-4 days haha

Sorry but the only LEDs we sell are the Orb LED rings. The landing strip LEDs are individual pieces that are wired by hand.

I actually did switches myself. The wiring is very simple. 180 left plenty of extra slack to connect to other wires. (I installed the switches and wiring when I had my headlights out and shipped.) You only need a few inline fuses (or those piggybacking fuses if you tap into existing power). The rest is just patience and personal preference of where you want your switches mounted.

I suggest installing quick-disconnect points behind the lights for convenience if you decide you need to remove your headlights later on.

The left is for landing strips. The right is for orbs.

**I did need extra fuses for the lights in the switches.

Where did you get those sexy switches?

Haha. I found them on Amazon.

Oracle Lighting LSGQ16FO Amber LED On/Off Flush Mount Switch

To mount them without ruining the blanks, I actually melted the plastic away with a soldering iron after I cut the plastic cross section on the back. I attempted using a drill at first. However, without a drill press, I couldn't get the drill steady enough to trust myself using it. :P

hey is there any additional wiring required for putting these back into he car? For example, I'd like to send mine over and get the dual orb light mod done. Does 180 wire this into the existing headlight wiring so I'll I have to do for re-install is plug the headlight back in? Or are there now extra wires that I have to figure out how to wire back into the oem wiring harness? Please let me know. I'm very excited to do this mod but not excited about having to do any wiring

They wire it to come on with your parking lights. No additional wires are needed.

Everything will be wired already, no extra needed to be done. The Orbs will be hooked up to your parking lights

I have to say that I'm VERY excited about getting these soon. Thanks for being very quick with the response!

Any pics of a black Z with black lights and red bezels installed?

TenaciousZ 12-10-2012 09:25 AM

:iagree:

Want to see the black on black combo.

Wish I could see it in person, hard to see in photos.

This is my planned setup, but it won't be until this coming summer at the earliest. :(

Ha great minds think alike I suppose. That sucks it will be so long I might have mine done this spring maybe. Im thinking Ferrari Rosso Fuoco red it is gorgeous. Im just not sure where to find it.

Had dual Halo's put on my Z last spring. Alex's work was first rate. Here is a shot from a photo shoot this past weekend...
