ok so ive been playing around with headlights and for my z being red i wanted to red housing instead of black or stock. I tried it and this is where im at so far.[/IMG]

IDK im thinking im going to finish up with that silver part black, or should i just go all out red? i will install it on the car in a few days after it gets finished to c if i like the look. Also imagine it on a red z with a black hood. I have the hood in the garage i just havent put it on because i can not decide what i want to do yet lol.

 

03-05 headlight modding it looks like?


Release the Krakken

 

You do realize that now your high beams are going to be completely useless since you painted over the reflector portion, right?

 

this i did not know, thank god im using one of the spares lol i got 2 more spares i can test things out with

 

You do NOT want to paint over the reflector area on the 03-05 lights. It is 100% needed for the light output to be useful. The 06+ lights use an upgraded projector for both high and low beams and that's why it is safe to paint them.

 

When u do get everything worked out, id love to see pics with the lights on the car

 

I was thinking of doing the same thing but i think ill end up being too plain once on you need some contras...look at the new corvette they have that and im not a fan...black for me but came out good

 

Dang I want the 06+ but I'd rather get coilovers

 

That's going to look really tacky.

 

Ima still try it out to see what it would have looked like and put up pictures
for you guys lol. even if its tacky. the job on the light isnt bad. the picture makes it look like that, buts its pretty good. how it will look on the car however is another story. also was thinking if i didnt go this way that i would smoke them, what do u think? the tails r alrdy black

 

Agree. I would be curious if and how the color of the housing affects the light on the road.

 

Interested in seeing how these look on the car

 

<-- Not a fan

 

It looks decent, even though I'm not a fan of red.

But, I'd rather have functionality over form with those much needed reflectors.

 

I would pass on it. Functionality is more important in the situation.

 

It doesn't look "real bad" but it does need some contrasting color. Maybe had you left the reflectors alone, or maybe throw a little black or whatever your secondary color is that you're going with. It's just gonna be ALOT of red. Theres a such thing as too much. Other than that, atleast you're being creative.

 

Since its already done. Put em on, show us some pictures!!

 

 

too much red on red. Try blacking out the silver part, i think that will make it look less bland.

 

they arnt done. the ones on my 350 r still on, and i only plan on taking off the bumper off one time, so its gotta b a day i dont work....
