damnit, I am doing a write-up for LED's and black housing this weekend...you beat me!! :shakes head:

hahah LEDs will be welcome :) do you need a heat gun or just an oven and some balls :p?

rreign 06-24-2009 12:13 PM

An oven and some balls LOL. I have done a few sets of headlights this way, not the Z but it's basically all the same. It's a pain but saves you quite a bit of money.

20 bucks compared to like 200+...something like that....and can go up to a grand

LED's arrive tomorrow, along with the factory matched paint. I just have to go pickup the black paint and the resistors and wiring and I'll be ready to pull everything apart saturday :tiphat:

Oh, and post up your DIY Simota, my headlights will be baked open, I won't be using a heat-gun so they will definitely be different. In for pics as well :)

I like what I see but would like to see in the day as well. Looks good and great job.

I am liking this, day shots would be nice, any chance of some better quality shots, though it may just be the lighting? :)
