Default Z33 Headlights Painted by LightWerkz

Around the start of this month I ordered a new set of '06+ Bi-Xenon headlights from Courtesy Nissan. I had them directly shipped to Caesar at LightWerkz in N.J. Caesar & I had been in contact since February discussing my options and best route for painting the new headlight and to improve lighting. I opted for the following;

~ Full semi-black painting leaving the shroud OEM silver
~ 90mm angle eye under shroud and transparent shroud corners
~ JDM STi 3" Clear Lens
~ LightWerkz D2S 6000k Bulbs

More info and pics can be found on LightWerkZ site here; http://www.lightwerkz.net/news/2012/...lear-lens-mod/

I have to say that Caesar was very knowledgable on the headlight and painting them. Very professional and stayed in consent contact with me during the hold process. I would HIGHLY recommend Caesar and LightWerkz for those seeking to have their headlights modified. Caesar does more than just 350Z's as well. Even those looking to added a HID System or other headlight mods feel free to contact him.

Hopefully soon will have installed pictures to share.

Lightwerks has always done good work. Their prices are pretty high, but you get a great product.

I ordered the lens from theretrofitsource.com.
I like it. Looks good and the light seems to project farther and clearer.

Glad this thread popped up lol. I would like to do something with my lights, just not sure what would look best with a Gunmetallic Z. Black housing looks pretty good on a similiar color though.

Looks good!

I believe Caesar can color match. Cost might go up though. Shoot him an e-mail. And let us know if you get them done.
