'06+ Bi-Xenon Headlight Complete by LightWerkz

Please read everything.
EDIT: I have received several PMs about pricing. I'm not trying to come off as an a$$ but I don't normally disclosed my pricing. All his pricing is located on his website; http://shop.lightwerkz.net/. However your best route is to contact him via phone or e-mail. I used e-mail as I'm currently in Iraq and he was very fast to response.He was very helpful with me and knowledgeable on the subject matter. IMO, if you are going to paint your headlights at the minimum have the lens swapped to the JDM STi lens. It produces a much clearer light beam.

Looks great Robert. Can't tell from the photos or your description: are yours painted gloss black, matte black, something else?
This is going to be my next mod, but I'm not sure whether I'm going to do the angel eye portion. I'll have to do some searching to see if that's the look I want. They look great blacked out though!

^ That does look good! Looks like you removed the parking light and wired the angel eye to the existing parking light circuit? Also I'm assuming there is an inverter in-line to power the angel eyes. Does Lightwerks mount the inverters to the back of the housings, and if so what does the wiring look like i.e. what is required to connect it to the existing parking light wiring?

I'm going to be honest, I don't know. I told Caesar what I wanted and sent my light to him. LOL I'll shoot him an e-mail. I'm over in Iraq and hopefully will be home in April to see my finished car. More Car Info; https://my350z.com/forum/texas/54165...ore-boost.html
Be safe over there!

I didn't drive with my lights on anymore than the next guy. That said, I am sure that there are things that can accelerate the problem like leaving the lights on with the car stationary for long periods of time. When the car is moving, there should be some air circulation to cool the outside of the ballasts and housings but when stationary, they probably heat up pretty hot.

LOL that's great, thanks!
The only thing that makes me a bit leery of those angel eyes is that my daily driver (2004 wrx) had a set of them installed when I bought it. I believe they are Lightwerkz brand based on some Lightwerkz documentation I found in the previous owner's service records. Anyway, one day I was driving out of the neighborhood and suddenly there's this horrible burning smell and white smoke coming out from under the hood. Popped it open and found that the inverter was actively melting, and the heat was enough to start melting through the nearby ABS wire harness. Now I don't know what causes one of those inverters to overheat to the point of melting....I would hope the circuit fuse pops before the inverter draws that kind of current. I would hate for this sort of thing to happen on my Z.
Regarding your parking lights, I see that Caesar says they were not removed, meanwhile I do not see them lit up in your pictures. Did he just remove the bulb and leave the plug in place?
