Default Front LED's on the reflectors? Which ones?

Has anyone tried these? I am going to buy some for my 04 car but I don't want to get crap ones that keep blowing. These are from the z store so I would think they aren't crap.

http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/350z04d/50-3078

I thought $180 was a bit steep though. Any good alternatives out there?

Thanks.

I want to find some with more than just 3 LEDs...that looks weak imo. clearcorners.com makes some nice ones with a dual function blinker line of amber ones too if you want, but those are pricey! I love them though.

Any other companies make some that are actually full of LEDs?

I'll make some for you guys tonight if you want? One of my raffle winners wants a set anyway, so I might as well. Someone shipped some after market type to me a couple months back and i've been too busy to get to them. Still am, but now I have a reason to finish them.

Any requests?? Do you want me to pack it FULL of LEDs, half white, half amber? Color shifting?? Color matching?? I'll post a pic here later today, but the rest will be on the forums in www.cincitydesigns.com with the rest of our lighting mods.

Hope I can help you guys out!!

I'd buy some if they looked like normal clears and blinked orange with blinkers.

If you make a set like ClearCorners.com (with 15 white LEDs) and not charge a newborn...you got my money.

For that matter, if anyone is selling their 06+ ClearCorner sidemarkers, let me know.

Im prototyping a fancy set similar to Acree's sequential rear blinkers.. although more advanced. I plan on making a few sets to recover my costs, but they will probably be pretty pricey.

hi
i made my own, too.

looks a bit to light, because of the cam.







i used 3 of these for white:
http://www.led1.de/shop/product_info.php?products_id=83
(maybe you find them also in usa)

and for the orange turn signal i used 4 of these:
http://www.led1.de/shop/index.php?cN...5-lumen-c-5_31

worktime was about 4 hours for each reflector.
maybe next time i will be faster, because i know how to make it.

I love it! The white ones are awesome! Are they just hooked up to your headlights or are they on a separate switch?

i do alot of electronic stuff so i had about 150 white leds, 100 amber leds and maybe 200 blue ones... i BELIEVE i used the hyper white ones... i used my dremel to put holes in the reflector, some hot glue/gorilla glue to hold them in and wired them up with a few resistors. took maybe 2hrs while drinking a few beers and watching TV on a rainy sat afteroon i was going to wire them up to flash with the blinkers but got lazy.

if the 6th light looks dimmer to you, it isnt.... just the way the pic looks i can take a better pic if youd like...i just had took this one right before i installed my nismo

I would love a set of clear ones with the white LEDs. How much for a set?

Hey dsmZ I am going to get the Nismo Exhaust for my Roadster. What do you think of it so far? Happy? Would you buy it again if you had to start over?
