Headlight Mods are not cheap LOL
 

Seems like there are a lot of vendors/services offering headlight mods and painting, but are you guys seriously paying thousands $$$ for this?

Far toooo costly, although it's a pretty nice mod LOL.

I want to just get mine blacked out, not really interested in all the LEDs and flashing stuff, HaHa.

And since my car is a daily driver, I really can't part with my headlights to ship off for modifications.

Just ranting LOL, I'd love to do this mod, but it's an insane cost for such a simple thing :eekdance:

Black out with no led is cheap. 300$ for the housing.

Do it yourself or have a friend help.

Doesn't this involve baking your headlights in an over to separate the lenses or something?

Again it's one of those tricky mods, if you screw it up it's expensive to replace the headlights.

I know this is pretty much down to the cost of the OEM lights, and we can only blame Nissan for that LOL

its really not hard...you just have to take your time and use common sense. Also just make sure you use a good amount of sealant when you're done so it doesnt let condensation in.

I only paid ~$200 to black out my headlights...

Probably not bad if it's not a daily driver, or it's the cost or purchasing replacement lights and shipping those off for modifications, then doing a swap out afterwards.

Again Nissans stupid design of having to remove the front of your car to do any damn work on it (CAI intakes, headlights etc etc).

Just venting LOL, but it used to be so much easier to work on cars LOL..

Haha maybe domestics, but my old 300ZX was a pain-in-the-*** to work on, as was the RX-7.

Vr4 pia

I think the prices are pretty well inline with the work to do it. I'm willing to pay someone else to mod my lights on this car, with how expensive they are to replace.


I had no issues pulling apart the lights on my 96 Civic, but messing up a headlight on the Z is an expensive mistake.

not that hard but takes time and patience
but think about it...if you mess up re sealing it...your gonna get moisture and your out a headlight.

yea, doing them on the 01 eclipse was breeze.. these headlights are just to damn expensive.. I just want em blacked out.. but im too chicken **** to pull apart myself lol :bowrofl::bowrofl:

I know right, I think the Nissan Marketing team just pulled a price tag out of their butt holes.

I'll keep an eye out for a wrecked Z lol, if I can get my hands on a cheap pair I'll do the mod myself.

It's only a matter of time before someone hits that VDC button ;)

Yeah, the problem is they usually hit stuff with the headlights

buy any set of non-370z, used, cheap headlights to practice with.

then do it with yours!
