ZLEDS does excellent work. I have the full 06+ LED upgrade. No complaints what-so-ever. He's got my pics on his facebook/website.

Do they act as DRLs as well, like in the '13 Zs?

You can make them work as you like, based on where you tap the power from. Doesn't matter who makes the lighted reflectors.

I made these myself, about 2 years ago for ~$75, and I think they look a lot better/brighter - they are the later style, though, so the 21 LEDs face forward.

But none are as good as the ones you've made. You, sir, are the king of LEDs.

Not to be as *** or anything but there is big difference between using a conventional LEDs strip vs designing a specific board for the LEDs. This is an example of the board being used.


evenly filled up..



This is the 06 model, 126 LEDs.

I agree there's a difference, but $300 for 10 LEDs of each color seems a crazy price. The LED strip I used has lasted for 2+ years, is very inexpensive, and as long as it looks good and is functional, what's the downside?



And, as for the later-style reflectors from ZLEDs, I still say the ones you've made look much better, and as I recall, they were also less expensive. Not to mention your sequential LED rear signals.

True. It really comes down to time, dremel, drilling,assembling , soldering,and sealing can take a toll in time.

Yes, price is a huge factor. But you're also getting a lot more, and they can be customized to the customer's liking. Save up and you'll be glad you did. I know I did.

Here's my Z. ZLEDS FTW!




Sorry for thread jacking OP, but I wanted to join you on ZLEDS products/services.

I could never justify paying $300 for those tbh.

These look amazing but I cant bring myself to spend the $300. I loveeee how they look on the 06+!!

I want to custom make a set for my 03 but I dont like how they point to the side.
