Default ZeLIGHT: Light up your roadster windscreen!

***Must-have new product for roadster owners***

Introducing: ZeLight

NO MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR Z REQUIRED = VERY LOW COST!!!

The effect is produced by fixing an LED keychain flashlight to your console and aiming it at your glass windscreen.

Enables you to light up the Z emblem on your roadster's windscreen.

$7.00 INOVA Microlight LED Key Chain Flashlight
$1.00 Velcro
About $8.00 sets you up.

If you just can't wait for a custom light kit, this is the answer! (or if you're just a cheap bastard like me...)

So get yourself down to Wal-Mart!!




















***BONUS*** Projects emblem on ceiling!!!!


Tip:
- It is critical you mount it on the console as pictured. If you mount it too close, you won't get full illumination. You'll see the circles from the LED housing.
- The INOVA brand of LED light mounted as shown does not interfere with driver/passenger vision.


ENJOY!!!

FOR BEST RESULTS

You can mod lens (also dims the brightness of your LED).

However, this is not necessary.

Couple more tips:
- Don't think Wal-Mart carries INOVA, but you can get them on eBay very cheap!!!!
- Do not buy an LED flightlight that has a CLEAR or OPAQUE housing - will just give yo more light spill-over.
- Make sure your LED flashlight has an ON/OFF switch. Some you have to pinch and hold to illuminate (unless you want to pinch it the whole time LOL). INOVA's is the cheapest one I've seen with the switch.
- Make sure your LED flashlight's bulb is recessed inside it's housing - helps prevent light spill over into the car. INOVA's is recessed pretty well. For example, the PHOTON brand's bulb sticks way out of the housing - you would have to put a collar around the light so it is not so omni-directional.
- Although PHOTON brand LED lights ($13.00) will spill over too much, they do offer a Hands-Free Clip ($4.00). The tiny clip is on a swivel and lets you mount the LED to it so you can then more precisely aim it (VERY USEFUL).; however, again, the PHOTON will have to be modified to produce a narrower beam of light!!!!!!!!

TIP #6
- For the velcro part, you'll get best results using the Velcro Brand. If you get the choice, buy the velcro that uses the SPECTRUM® (0172) Acrylic Adhesive for high temperature automotive use (rated to 225 degrees). The other adhesive used with velco is called VECTOR® (0115) Rubber Adhesive (only rated to 120 degrees).
