Default What headlights are these?

Can someone tell me if these are custom headlights? Or if you can just buy them?



Also, if this is your 350, I have some questions for you about painting the middle part of the bumper black.

They will run you anywhere from 800-1,000 depending on the condition. Dont go to the dealership and buy them because they will rip you a new hole

lol...you are right. There is no such thing as blacked out OEM headlights. I blacked out my 03-05...but just bought a brand new set of 06-08. I will not crack these open and paint them...wayyy to much money to mess around with. I have a good friend that is REALLY good at it...so him and I might do it.

blacking them out is something you need to do or arrange on your own, they do not come from the factory that way

^ not bad work. But he does use stripes of leds which gets hot inside the housing. Used to use them as well in my 1st few sets. Now i do them in a total diff way.





Bright like the real thing!

Yes I understand that. I thought maybe Z1 was in the business of buying OEM headlights and having them blacked out (since it is a popular modification int he 350Z community), and re-selling them as "blacked out OEM" headlights. When you said you had them in stock, I took that to be a direct response to the OP's question which was directed at blacked out (modified) OEM headlights, when in fact you were simply stating that you stock OEM headlights unmolested from the Nissan factory.

My bad, I guess.
