The 370Z's Head lights

thanks for the pic !


It would be nice if someone made a LED mod for the Z's head lights where that strip is...like shown in the pic...


someone made an LED mod for the G37 which looks like this,

so, instead of a circular pattern for the Z, i think a bar of LED's would look better and different... :tup:

nogoodname 12-18-2008 11:36 AM

oh yea, the mod is called "Ironman" for the G

370z 12-18-2008 12:04 PM

kinda like the 09 a4 & R8

nogoodname 12-18-2008 12:54 PM

yup, but instead of a horizontal bar, it would be vertical..

G in ny 12-18-2008 01:45 PM

Im having it done soonest I get the car and painted housing by the original creator of the Iron man for the 37 in NY...

Stay tuned =)

nogoodname 12-18-2008 01:47 PM

Igor is amazing at it, Painting the housing is like a must have mod for the head lights !!!


so, will the LED's be in the place as i mentioned???

G in ny 12-18-2008 01:48 PM

I got fair skills in it.... so you'll be the 1st to rock these....that's so cool

everyone be like I want what "G in NY" has...hahahahaha

G in ny 12-18-2008 02:00 PM

I wanna change my name on the forum once I get the car. 370 in NY or somthin like tht ill think of somthing creative lol

370z 12-18-2008 02:01 PM

IMO matching w/ the color of the car like you've above does not improve the look. So if it were me, i would just paint the housing black or charcoal gray.
and Just add the LED w/o painting its sorrounding.

nogoodname 12-18-2008 02:16 PM

you'd be surprised...all the G's that were blue and had the housing painted blue worked well


if the Z was grey, then painting it black would be good

G in ny 12-18-2008 02:22 PM

painting it black is played out every car is gonna do tht. Colormatched headlights are hot

Yeaaaaaa

If you wanna mod do it the right way and be unique =)... Everyone does black

nogoodname 12-18-2008 02:29 PM

^^ it works good....colour matching is nice, painting black would be a band wagon thing

3SeventyZ 12-20-2008 06:25 PM

Im sure someone will mod the headlights very soon after release.
Cant wait to see what they come up with.
Im still trying to get used to the stock lights without modifications.

shumby 12-20-2008 06:27 PM

but if I panit mine black it will be color matching. But i would go black chrome.

G in ny 12-20-2008 07:16 PM

I dont think you can paint black chrome. your best bet is doing it gloss or flat black, or gunmetal (highly suggest it looks sick!!)

shumby 12-20-2008 07:20 PM

^^^^^^ yes yes you can.

shumby 12-20-2008 08:00 PM

didn't i just tell him that?

nogoodname 12-20-2008 08:18 PM

^^^ my response is better

shumby 12-20-2008 08:20 PM

only in Quebec

nogoodname 12-20-2008 08:22 PM

So Igor is cooking something up for these lights.....lol

shumby 12-20-2008 08:24 PM

he dose good work cannot wait to see it

nogoodname 12-20-2008 08:26 PM

the whole putting the headlights in the oven and cooking it to perfection

shumby 12-20-2008 08:27 PM

i bet baked head light smells good.

nogoodname 12-20-2008 08:30 PM

it's freaky to do, i would worry about making them crispy

shumby 12-20-2008 08:32 PM

lol i thought about doing it myself but am too scared.

nogoodname 12-20-2008 08:34 PM

it would be weird if i did it,.....someone will say"what are you cooking"

my response "ohh, just some headlights"

370z 12-20-2008 10:24 PM

i've done this on my bro's 02 rsx... didn't turn out nice....wasn't able to get the plastic headlight cover on the side to fold tightly to the back under piece...this caused it to fog up/condensate during cold weather and what not

nogoodname 12-20-2008 10:31 PM

^^^ that's why i would never what to play with it, unless i got an extra set from a junk yard...lol

G in ny 12-21-2008 02:05 AM

shouldnt play with headlights to save few dollars. Just save up and do it the right way.

Also the black chrome thing go for it. It'll be almost the same as gloss black but go for it lol

shumby 12-21-2008 02:08 AM

na looks different than gloss black. will be doing mu grill and emb. on my G

G in ny 01-27-2009 10:44 AM

G&M Performance 01-27-2009 11:06 AM

Nice. I'd color match the angel eyes though. To each his OWN.

boosteeddc 01-27-2009 11:19 AM
