They do great work from what I've seen. However, I did my own for around $20:

Black Housing, LED Landing Strip, Amber reflector and amber parking delete with 5000k LED parking added:



LEDs not turned on here:



My 2 rides:



Daylight...lol:

I agree with pfdaxe. There are a few good DIY'S out there to show you how to do them. From simple paint to complicated mod. please don't spend a bunch of money to have someone do them.

It take a day to finish a set. There is also lot of peeps to call if you need it. $900.00 or $175.00 DIY.

What ever you do, the simplest mods always look the best and are timeless. Good luck.

I'm on the fence about doing them myself. I did them on my last car, and had pretty good results. I had some condensation in one light, but it was an easy fix. If anything I learned some good lessons the first go around.

Those are some great looking lights pfdaxe. How reliable have your LEDs been? Any issues?

Thanks. I've had them for about 5 or 6 months with no issues. But, I only drive the Z once or twice a week.
