Wow the Japanese beat me to the mod. I've been in touch with Nic at CINCity in regard to my headlight idea.

There's a single amber LED for the side marker light (SupeFlux type), that can be switched out for a different color. Then there's the 194 parking light that can be switched out to an LED one as well.

I'm afraid these wont fit in the oven so easy, they're almost as big as GT-R headlights. Ahmar change your freaking name, G in NY sounds so stupid lol.

Anyway, cant wait to get my hands on these.

Good question, I should have measured it when I was at the Z event. They might BARELY clear the oven, but I'll have to bake it a lower temperature, worse comes to worst I'll use a heatgun.

nogoodname 01-28-2009 09:32 AM

^^ just out of curiosity....are you using your oven in the kitchen or do you have another one?

Dreamin'Z 01-28-2009 10:12 AM

I'm so confused, What's all the OVEN stuff about. I read the past threads and i haven't made the connection. I've been doing really well as I am fairly new to the whole aftermarket game and completely new to this amazing world of FORUMS. And also what does FTL stand for????? HELP. BTW the headlights are deadly!!!!

Well basically they are referring to the process of installing the LEDs and modding the headlight.

Basic Breakdown of the process:

Take stock headlight disconnect from car

Bake in oven to loosen the factory glue

Then pull the clear cover off the headlight

modify

Use silicone to reseal

Re-bake

Let cool

Serve to vehicle :tup: Congrats you either have a sick looking mod or melted headlights lol

It sounds complicated or dangerous but its not to hard. I did it with my depo lights on my Eclipse took about 1 hour apiece. Fogging FTL!!

Can I get a full car picture? I'd like to see how it looks in respect to the car. More info:tup:

For The Loss. Search for some of the slang translators/dictionaries. They are useful when old farts like us start using forums.

Dreamin'Z 01-28-2009 11:18 AM

hey i'm not an old FART!! I'm only 25!

Sorry, bad assumption on my part. Should of checked your profile.

Dreamin'Z 01-28-2009 12:19 PM

It's cool! Everyone always tells me i act like i'm an old fart!!!LOL

Dreamin'Z 01-28-2009 12:19 PM

So are the headlamp replacements already on the market to buy?

OMGWTFBBQ 01-28-2009 12:26 PM

I doubt it. When I think of "aftermarket replacement headlamps," my mind immediately thinks of ebay and their horribly made $100 headlights.

No thanks haha. I think at this point, the best and only route, in my opinion, would be to custom the job. Baking your OEM headlights, doing the deed, and resealing everything back up.

G in ny 01-28-2009 12:33 PM

lol I just requested a name change to AK to MB370Z.
Yea guys just wait few more weeks Igor/180custom is doing my headlights soonest I get the car! His prices are great and he'll take care of any problems and he's a great guy. So stay tuned!

RCZ 01-28-2009 12:37 PM

I've baked like 5 sets of headlights from a few different cars...always a little nerve wrecking the first time you try a new type of headlight. I may do my Z's lights sooner or later... definitely not putting LED's everywhere though thats for sure...

Also Dreamin'Z - FTL is a derivative of FTW which stands for "For the Win". It all started, as most of these computer terms do, in online games like First person shooters and MMORPG's. The terms then migrate into the mainstream and forums as "internet slang". FTW = something that is good, successful or just positive.

To use it in a sentence... "Filling your headlight with LED's to make it look like Audi's or BMW FTL, doing it to be unique and keeping it tastefull FTW."

Crash 01-28-2009 05:11 PM

I'd like to keep my stock headlights and buy a pair for this. (Changing them back and forth would be my goal.)

I'd rather buy them pre-made so I can have both sets and whim's notice.

:bowrofl: Those are my GIMP edited pictures (i.e., Photoshopped). It was tedious editing the photo. The photos were submitted to CINCity, but I have no clue how much it costs to do this stuff. I can do electrical work, but I'm also not very handy/crafty.

G in ny 01-28-2009 08:36 PM

Contact 180custom guys he does great work with LEDS and proffesional painting

:p Nah, I don't have my Z yet (Mar/Apr). I'm waiting for someone to fabricate clear/smoke reflector replacements. Maybe you guys can get these mods done first. :-)

nogoodname 01-28-2009 09:09 PM

^^ wow...made everyone super excited and BAM !!!


it's time for Igor to stop baking cookies and bake the head lights now.....ha

Cincity does really good professional work. But didn't they just run into some internal issue's?

nogoodname 01-28-2009 09:21 PM

^^ no idea about the issues........ what does Cincity do......???
