Default More ultimate lighting pics...

Got a chance to snap some more pics of our 350Z headlamp and side-marker conversions the other day as we finished another local Z33 out here in SoCal. Here are some pretty clean night pics showing the light output and quality of our LEDs.

Here are the parking lamps:




Here are the signals:




The above car is Diamond Graphite, and wow.. the black-housing headlamps REALLY blended well with the color of the car. I will be taking a full photo shoot of this car in the next few weeks, plus we have our G35-C project almost complete.. I will be posting pics of the newly released headlamps this week.

Galleries available here:

Enjoy!

Those are just two products:
- Clear/Smoked Side-Markers w/ Dual Function LED
- Black Housing/High-Intensity LED Headlamp Conversion

The first pics with the white lamps show the car with the parking lamps. The second set of pics show the car with the signals. Simple. Clean. Effective.

Wait till you guys see the G35-C, that conversion will be MOST impressive!

Mike can you do the headlights without blackening the housing?

And if you do the black housing can you do black chrome? and can you leave the signal area like stock?

The headlight conversions we offer are typically available in either a black or optional color-matched finish.


And if you do the black housing can you do black chrome?

The G35-C we are completing has been re-sprayed with the factory Diamond Graphite color, it looks extremely subtle and clean. We basically leave it up to the customer to handle painting the bezel any other color other than the matte-black finish we offer.

Some people are very picky when it comes to color-matching, so we typically leave the paint work to them. However, we can have them professionally re-sprayed in whatever color you wish. Having the paint code will definately help.


and can you leave the signal area like stock?

That portion of the Z33 headlamp is very touchy, the factory "plasti-chrome" finish is not durable and easy to scratch and dull. This is why we re-spray that portion of the light -- plus, I think it just looks better.


Any chance on just selling me the white reflector in the headlamp?

Proper disassembly and re-assembling of the 350Z headlamps is no easy task. Its quite time consuming and risky; its not a modification we want to offer because we wouldnt be able to offer it at an affordable price. Sure, it would be less-expensive than our full LED headlamp.. but with what benefit? Going through all the hassle to change a mere reflector is redundant, the light will still illuminate with that incandescent bulb look.

We want to offer a product that is so authentic, people will have no doubt in knowing that WE fabricated it.

Depends on who is installing them. If the person working on the car is familiar with the 350Z, then all you have to do is:

- Raise front of car
- Remove forward fender liner
- Remove bumper
- Remove headlamps
- Remove side-markers

once we are done modifying the car, its as simple as:

- install the side-markers
- install the headlamps
- install the bumper
- install the forward fender liner
- lower the car back onto the ground

We pre-wire everything, that way all you have to do is literally PLUG IN the lamps. The sidemarkers now have a harness which plugs into the headlamp assembly, making things really easy.

Its only 1-2 hours in labor as long as the person working on the vehicle is mechanically inclined. If not, leave it to a professional.

Mike,

I recently purchased a set of clear sidemarkers. Is there any way you can use those and possibly give a discount to the price for LED markers?

Jeff

I think it is something like 800 for the headlight conversion and 300 for the front reflector conversion...

Jeff, the clear sidemarkers are not needed for modification, it will be to your advantage to just sell those to another Z owner. We use the OEM side-markers for our LED conversions.

Victor, they are available in both clear and smoked/clear. Here is a quick image showing the smoked side-markers:


Also, we went ahead and smoked the clear lens inside the 350Z headlamp, its very subtle but I feel it blends in with the look of the Diamond Graphite Z33 perfectly:


To give you an idea, you can see the G35-S we worked on.. it has clear/smoked side-markers.. blends in perfectly and the dual-function high-intensity LEDs look super smooth:


Gallery of the G35-S is here: http://clearcorners.com/products/infiniti/g35a/h_lamp/

Thanks!

$800 for a conversion?

"In order to purchase these lights, you have to send in your stock headlamps for modification. This conversion is highly detailed and requires approximately 2 weeks to complete. Please inquire with us should you want to schedule your 350Z's headlamp conversion"

No doupt they looks good and slick. But the price is a little too much for a conversion IMHO.

If only some group buy pricing was set up, I'm sure many many people would jump on this product. Those first few pics at the top of the page are really beautiful.

I said it once and I will say it again, SUPURB Product but damn that price is 50% more than anyone would pay. I can't see myself spending $800 for a mod using "my" headlights. I understand the work that in involved but just seems crazy to spend so much on lighting...

Good job anyhow!

Yeah- group buy of $400 for headlights and maybe $150 for the reflectors and I'd be in for sure!
