A cheap alternative to the custom smoked housings..but eh might be worth it for the cutoff if the projectors are decent. I might buy a pair just to experiment on.

Peace...

Do you think this is just for the base Z's with halogen... or can they handle the temps of stock HID's?

From the cost I'd imagine its for the halogen. Our stock HID headlamps aren't any special type of plastic to my knoweldege so this might be a good alternative. I want to maybe jump on these just so I can see what projectors I could possiby fit in the assembly.

The price isn't bad--but look at the size of the projector....Weak.

Ravi, I *think*those are for non-HID models. Basically what they seem to have done is got the non-HID housings and just painted them black. So I think lighting would be worse if you have HID.

it should work well with the base model. i have an 04.5 and the headlights that came stock doesn't have hid housing. im running aftermarket hids right now.
gona see how much it would cost w/o the bumper reflectors.
