Default '06+ Bi-Xenon Headlight Complete by LightWerkz

Around the start of this month I ordered a new set of '06+ Bi-Xenon headlights from Courtesy Nissan. I had them directly shipped to Caesar at LightWerkz in N.J. Caesar & I had been in contact since February discussing my options and best route for painting the new headlight and to improve lighting. I opted for the following;

~ Full semi-flat black painting leaving the shroud OEM silver
~ 90mm angle eye under shroud and transparent shroud corners
~ JDM STi 3" Clear Lens
~ LightWerkz D2S 6000k Bulbs

More info and pics can be found on LightWerkZ site here; http://www.lightwerkz.net/news/2012/...lear-lens-mod/

I have to say that Caesar was very knowledgable on the headlight and painting them. Very professional and stayed in consent contact with me during the hold process. I would HIGHLY recommend Caesar and LightWerkz for those seeking to have their headlights modified. Caesar does more than just 350Z's as well. Even those looking to added a HID System or other headlight mods feel free to contact him.

Hopefully soon will have installed pictures to share.













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.

+100 for C at Lightwerkz. My original headlights are in his owners gallery for 06+ lights.. very cool guy.

He is part of the retrofitsource network of reccomended retro installers as well. Good stuff, very OEM quality work, not all blingy and ridiculous like Cin City stuff was.

here's his halos work btw ( the led drl is greddy and is no longer made, please dont ask where i got it by PM).

If was several thread here and on Retrofitsource that convinced me to use Caesar/LightWerkz. Seems like he has been doing it for years and couldn't find one complaint.

Those look great! I ad Ceaser paint mine too. Over time, the paint began to bubble on the reflector below the projector due to the heat of the ballast mounted below it.

He did mention this could happen. He said it has happen on some but not all his customers. But made sure I was aware of the possibility.

Nice!!

Lightwerkz is local to me and I have been thinking about having similar work done to both of my cars.

I am just on the fence because it seems no matter how good of a job is done or who did the work that they eventually leak, peel, bubble, etc.

A lot of the research I've done showed no complaints. It wasn't until Caesar informed me of the bubbling did I learn about it. A lot of member that have had their headlights completed by LightWerkz had it done early on '06ish and still look great.

Question; Did you do a lot of nighttime driving or with the headlight on? I wonder if time on effects this problem.

He sold me his lights, they are currently on my Z and since he also upgraded the lenses they are very bright at night and illuminate the road surface very well.



I would definitely recommend anyone upgrade their 03-05 to the 06+ and I'm sure your set will be pretty nice.

In for pics after you get them!
