Really interesting look in the 350z headlight halfway down the page. I think it would be possible to retrofit a true Xenon bulb in there too... anyone had experience with retrofit headlight conversions?

 

looks like typical cheap ebay crap IMO

 

I saw this done nicely on a G35... can't find the pics though....

 

The guy who did the mod on the 350z said it was a pain in the *** to do that.

 

Umm... bad idea.

Surf to hidplanet.com

Just FYI, it took me 3 months to get it right... and I still had to re-do my headlights.



PITA.

 

So far it is coming good James. Why not the clear strips?

Haha... The clear would be too much black. Trust me, when you see them on the car it's just all kinds of blackness....

They're done now, I just wanted this kid to know that it's a major project that takes more time than most people are willing to put in.

 

Please don't.

 

hey jimmyloose can i see a full pic of your car? I am thinking about get painted headlights like you on my CS but im not sure if the black will clash with the rest of the car too much.

 

Black on CS wouldn't be that cool. If you painted the reflector bowl only that might be interesting though.

 

Isnt the picture you just posted a CS with black headlights?

 

Silverstone.

I guess it'd look alright, but the Chrome Silver looks too bright for black headlights imo.

 

Ive seen them in a civic headlight

 

I always wanted to retrofit the Q45 projector.. so freaking cool looking.

Jimmyloose: did you retrofit the Q45s?

 

nah, that wasn't me. I don't have any experience with fiberglass anyways.

I just mounted E46's (and later ZKW's) to the reflector bowl and built a shroud. IvoryGT is building a new set for me though.

Those ebay projectors don't look too bad... if someone wanted me to put them in I could see what I could do, but you'd probably lose your high beams unless those projectors take H4 bulbs.

 

i dont know i thought these look sharp on this CS way better than the stock chrome crap. This is what im basing my decision on pretty much.

 

It looks sharp, but there's also other black to tie into the lights (grill, wheels). It would probably look good, I just haven't seen pictures of your car yet

I'm itching to do another retrofit. PM me if you're interested.

 

i have 19" axis hiro wheels with the dark anthracite wheels (dark gunmetal color) and i also have bats overlays on my tails. Thats the thing my wheels arnt black but they are dark with a polished lip.

Here is his car again with similar wheels, "dark spokes with polished lip"







and here is mine

 

It'll look just fine. Best of luck to you.

 

just letting you know..Im trying to get it as perfect as I can. James here gave me a near impossible mission. But it's coming. :P
