Well...if I personally did it I would probably mess something up, then I would really get pissed. Having spent the extra money to fix/replace something, then it ends up costing the same amount in the end.

Not to mention the down time if you have to send the headlights that are on your car. I heard they have them for quite awhile too.
This is from their website. So if i'm reading this right, $1800 to do the mod + $650 to paint them. For a total of $2450? Plenty other things I can find $2400 to spend on the Z.
$1800/pair White Super LED Headlight "Conversion" (06-08)
$1700/pair Amber Super LED Headlight "Conversion" (06-08)
+450 - Matte-Black Paint Finish
+650 - Color-Matched to Factory Paint Code
+800 - Side-Marker Delete Option

Holy ****...don't forget, the cost of purchasing the lights if your coming from an 03-05 + $750 & Trade to $1200 for brand new. The lights are then 1/4 of the total KBB value of the car

But yeah if you just want em black ,unless you have time and money, I would do it yourself (if you know how) or go with some of the cheaper alternatives listed. However you may end up unsatisfied. This was one area I didn't want to touch and wanted it to be right the first time around.
As are most people's wheels on here........Go figure.

there are a couple of vendors on "the 370z dot com" that do a really good job!!! Check them out there. I went with 180 custom and they did a fantastic job for my 370z:
and then there is MRworks that does a great job too!

Great posts ^^^ Some light at the end of the tunnel. It's almost comical to think a company charges you $650 to paint your headlights. I don't care if it's paint matched or not. The amount of labor and paint cost that goes into a front bumper is $300 for almost all shops, more times then not they require more prep and we def know more paint. Just wonder what the shop pay is around there.
