Talking My hands... got inside the headlight...Iron-Mannnn

So Mike (bullitt5897) sent in his headlights for some experiments. Thankfully the headlights clear my oven by about a few millimeters on each side, which allows me to expand my work onto 370z's.

These headlights are a lot harder to open up than the G37's we've been working on for the past year, and there's also a nice amount of designs and ideas we can make happen on them.

Mike decided to keep it unique and not put in the "landing strip" like everyone plans on doing, we also went with a 2-tone color combo on his housing, obsidian black and pearl white. The amber reflector is going to be painted black obsidian, and the projector shroud and turning signal shroud will be painted semi-matte black.

Now for the best part... I was able to incorporate Iron-Man I invented for the G37's, and made it happen on the 370z. A blue "Demon Eye" will also be installed into the projector. Both mods wired to a separate switch.

Anyway, we will be taking orders as soon as we become an official vendor on The370z.com and receive our shipment of LED's.

Before..





After...

Question

I would like DIGItonium's take on these as he is a whiz regarding LEDs and their respective quality. I know he uses expensive LEDs in his DIY projects.

We use superflux LED's, individually wired with their own resistor, I can assure you that we have top quality LEDs, unless you can point me in a direction for more expensive/higher quality ones, I'd love to use the best I can find.

So will this be the same as for the G37? Where you send in your headlights I would assume thats probably right as there wouldnt be many 370z headlights hanging around lol.

In for Pics of Win

The white looks awesome. I assume this is going on a pearl white Z?

I've been hearing this "ironman" from quite a few people and now, the pictures speak for themselves.
