Hey guys i been thinking about replacing my headlights for awhile now and some guy offered me 2003-2005 headlights with black housing and Audi lights instead of the orange strip. what do you guys think if im going with the black out theme with Blue Hids?

 

 

op pls dont

 

BAWAHAHAHAH!

 

Definitely get some 12000K bulbs - they're the best.

 

these were just a thought. id really like 2006+ blacked out headlights but since there expensive. i might just work on other things on the car.

 

I'm running those headlights because I never had stock headlight when I bought my z. They shine where they are suppose to. I'm using 5000k HID's with a slim ballast(fits right inside the headlight) I paid $260 for them new. They are the only aftermarket headlight worth buying(I've had all 3 types) in terms of being able to actually light up the road.

 

Never ask anyone on here their opinions on your own car. It's yours, do what you want.
If it was up to them, they would have you do the same cliche mods to make it look like every other modded car.

 

i saw these in person on a nicely modded sb and they actually look very good.

 

I don't like those at all

Save for the 06+ or don't do anything at all

 

This.


I almost bought some aftermarket headlights to save a few hundred, glad i went with OEM when i upgraded my 04 to 06+

 

I assume the answer is yes, but do the '06 light fixtures fit on an '03? That orange strip drives me insane! When I've got the money I'd happily spend a few hundred to get rid of it.

edit; Goddamn, carid says $600+ per headlight? Ouch.

 

Several threads on how to upgrade the early to late headlights - just a few minor wiring changes. You can find a good pair of used '06> lights for 1/2 of new if you have good luck/timing.

 

swapping 03-05 to 06+ is PNP with OEM and perfect fit
you can cut the blue wire to shut off running side light but no needed, places sell pairs brand new for $750 with no ballast/bulbs

 

I saw them on a z up close. Looks cheap...oh they are.

 

Perfect for a dedicated drift or track car

 

Actually you have options but I will suggest you not to go for black housing. Headlights are the most important parts of the car so install the original one its better otherwise you have a vehicle and you have also choices.
