Headlight mod :D

DatsunFTW · 09-21-2013, 09:52 PM

Had some time over the weekend and decided to take apart the headlight and put in some halos. Tell me what you think

Take some more pics..... Did you paint them while you were at it?

Nice! For anyone else that looks into doing this on their own, I find this to be one of the most useful threads on the net for our cars.

No sir. IMHO I like the look of the regular headlight with it cause when I get my lip I think it will be too much black in the front. Thats just my two cents.

I must say your Z is a beauty. Do you have anything done to the light besides the paint?

No, I thought about doing some lights or something... I color matched the red to the Z on the head lights.. And Thanks

Those look really nice. On the amber running lights did you change them out to LED or are those stock bulbs? They look brighter than what I've seen on mine with the stock bulbs.

Those are actually stock, I noticed the same thing. I guess when its darker and you put attention to the halo, everything else stands out too.

Definitely love the halos on the headlights. Always looks great. Same thing with painting the housings. I feel that headlight mods really changes the look of the car. Big difference with them.

They were a pain in the bum to do... especially the first one.. but in the end everything turned out great and the look of the car is more aggressive in the front. I have been getting a lot of compliments already even though I had them done today.

Nice job!

I didnt do the landing strip cause I like the simple but aggressive look of only having the halo. It makes it stand out a bit more but otherwise I very much like your work.

I would say if you want aggressive I would paint the housings. I painted my housings black, the projector and projector shrouds gun metal to match the car and then did dual halos. It's amazing how mean that looks over my original chrome and silver. Looks like a completely different, aggressive looking front.
