Alright got the first headlight done gonna replace the one screw tho no biggie! Pretty happy now
I hope I get the second one now!
One more question tho regarding cutoff and spacer equalme what did u use for spacer I just got one metal ring with the shipment but I also did buy the spacer kit!
Any advice on that part?!

Check out my thread here:
370z - Installed STi-R lens / Funky cutoff - Page 3

I still haven't got the chance to fix my cutoff yet. But from what I was told, make sure to trim the black tab so you won't have the black void along the cutoff. Do not use the metal ring since apparently it is too thick (I used the metal ring and well look at my cutoff lol). I saw somebody mention using 1 to 3 paper spacers is good...but you'll pretty much have to test it out yourself.

Ok now that I managed to get all the screws loose and I also had a look at the tab and I wonder how would one even begin to cut that since there is another piece of metall right behind it and u can't get in there from the back!
So wich tool did u guys use to cut that tab

Does the black tab stick up higher than the cutoff shield? If so, I don't think it serves any other purpose so I remember reading a long time ago people just bent it down. Might want to research into it though before you do so lol

Ya man I see what u r saying cuz I been looking like crazy and I also found a couple ppl saying its a direct drop in so I am really stuck here! Should I screw around with that tap or not
I may try open up a fresh topic maybe so get a few more opinions here and and go from there!
