I'm glad I could help

Like I said in your other thread, looks great man! Curious though.... For the prices listed on their website, are the headlights included? Meaning no core to exchange? Or do I still need to purchase a set of '06-08 headlights, send out my headlights and that price is just for parts and labor?

Rick, thanks for the kind words. Surprisingly enough, you are the second person to purchase a pair of second hand 06-08 headlights who has raved about their build quality and attention to detail. While I very much appreciate the kind words, I find it a bit surprising that you guys are this excited with second-hand parts!

I've been a part of the 350Z community since the car debuted in `03. Back then, we were the first to offer lighting-related products for this platform. As the years have progressed there have been quite a few new-comers who've sprouted onto the scene selling lighting related products. Now, personally I dont mind some competition. But if its one thing that I will say is that as the Z-car has gotten older - its become more easily attainable by younger individuals who dont always know how to take care of a car.

I have always been the type of guy who's enjoyed working and maintaining on my own vehicles, and I do so with a very high attention to detail. I refuse to put inferior quality parts on my car, which means plenty of invoices for OEM NISSAN parts. And if I do buy aftermarket parts, I usually buy pretty top dollar stuff (volk > rota).

Thanks again for the kind words. Please e-mail me your contact info so that I can transfer over your warranty for your purchase and keep it on file. We may not do a lot of volume, but personally.. I like it that way.

Cheers,
Mike / ClearCorners.Com

^^ Hey Mike/old s13 ^^

while we have you here, would you mind answering the previous question about the lights. Do you guys do core exchanges? I am seriously considering doing business with you but since my car is my daily i cannot be without headlights.

Actually, the picture you saw on the previous page was the low-intensity (parking light). The amber LEDs switch to full-brightness when the turn signals are activated. Simple answer to your question is yes, they are noticeable when lit and even more noticeable when the turn signals are illuminated. Afterall, lights are a safety component of the car - they should meet if not exceed that of OE performance. I link'ed up a pic of my customers NSX as a reference to brightness.

Yes, we have B-condition cores of every popular headlight that we offer on our website. So no, downtime is typically not a concern. However, we are very picky about the cores being returned back to us and will not accept sub-par cores that have broken/repaired tabs, scratches, heavy fogging, or any other serious defects.

Mike,

LOL. Yeah, when I saw them posted up for sale I was drooling. Although the pictures do not them any justice, they were what I was looking for and then some. Needless to say, I was excited to finally throw them on.

That is very true. One thing that I have observed is that...although the younger crowd is now able to get their hands on the 350z, they are for the most part not able to purchase the quality parts that carry a heftier price tag. Although the Z is getting closer and closer to civic prices, quality aftermarket parts are still relatively expensive. Hence, the butchering of 350z's are going to just increase.

Awesome! I shot over an e-mail during the afternoon today. Thanks for extending the warranty coverage to me as well. That is great customer service right there! I look forward to upgrading to some other stuff once I get some other things out of the way.

Thanks again,
Rick

Thanks. Industrial is correct. It's still going through the "building" process.
