Nice. I want to do this when I get my Z. Just afraid of the baking part.

Looks great! Something I'm hoping to do this spring as well. Nicely done.

Nothing to the baking I put it in at 230 for 13 min I placed the light on a baking sheet I put a damp rah under the headlight.

It's just an expensive mistake if you mess up haha

Nice job OP!

It's not really that hard to get open. Just try to double seal them when closing.

They should come black from the factory like the HIDs on the Camaro. No need for the chrome surround with a projector light.

Yup dont skimp out on the sealnt

dam I want to do this, just cant gather the cahones too.

I just recently did mine as well and posted a video DIY on the whole process in the DIY section. You guys who are nervous about it should check it out.

Haha I did thats how I did mine! made me crack up when you were yelling "if my helper would hold the camera" :roflpuke2:

I saw it, good DIY, nice videos btw

Haha yeah she was getting ready for work, not the best timing for a YouTube video.

Can you please post the youtube link for us to see? Thanks!

Nice job!

I find they look so great on red and blue Z's because of the large contrast with the black.

My headlight barely fit in my oven, did one in the oven (on a baking sheet with a wet towel) the other I used a hairdryer.

Hair dryer? So a heat gun would work then right?

Thanks! To everyone who is going to try this mod please TAKE YOUR TIME! I cannot stress that enough, and for the red I used color matched paint to my Z if anyone wants the info on where to purchase the paint pm me, It came already mixed In a spray paint can super EZ.

Yes a heat gun will work but be careful you don't hear one spot up too much and warp or melt your headlight.

Just watched some of the videos. Looks like way too much work lol.

If its to much I think there is some members that do the work you have to just send them your lights, try to look up 180 customs I think don't hold me to it

Found a local guy that does it :)

Sweet when you do it post some pics!

I need the car first! :eekdance:

Where did you get the color matched paint? PM me if you must, but I don't see why it can't be public information?

Very true! I got it from automotive touch up.com there number is 888-710-5192 before you call you must have your paint color code you can get it from the dealer.

Yup, but this way no need to remove any connections or wiring...heat gun faster for sure, just more chance of warping something if not paying attention.

and +1 on Automotive Touch Up, amazing OEM paint in a spray can :tup:
