That looks really good! Are these plug and play? I'm very interesting in getting a pair like these...

Zworks headlights
Interesting concept (retrofitting lights with options) but the website, while it allows one to "virtually build" your headlights, does not show what the various options are. I mean, what's an "Ironman" option and what exactly are "STI-R" lenses??

Or am I missing something from too many red ales tonight?

In any event, nice looking headlight. Not my thing as none of the options really seem to improve light output (what I really want for late night runs) - rather, all aesthetic - but hey, not judging.

Check out his FB page for more details - I was also confused by what everything meant MicVelo and I was sober lol. I had to purchase 06 headlights to customize for my 03 but if you have a 370z you can get the really cool landing strip that I can't get for my 350z.

MicVelo, per Vito, the "STI-R" lens improves light output and creates a more sharp cut off.

Thanks! I used to hate night driving but now the reflective pavement markers are lit like an airport runway. Had I known I would have done this a long time ago.

Does anyone know how to hookup switchback on 2008 350z? The running light is seperate than the turn signal so when I hooked one up (with resistor) it would only blink amber. How can I get power to the white led constant (I'm assuming that's the problem). The turn signal has 3 wires going to it. Black, green, blue. The running light has 2 wires. black, green.

When I added the resistor to the green and black i got a normal flash rate.

Whats the blue wire for? The old halogen bulb has 2 diodes in it which is confusing because there's no way to get the original bulb to light up unless you are signaling. So why would it need 2 diodes when it only uses one. It's a 2008 350z nismo edition if that matters

If you don't mind me asking how much did this particular build cost you? Really, really dig these!

I'll PM specs and cost to you since the website choices get confusing.

Tried to video at a slow enough speed to be steady and away from traffic to avoid tail light glare so you can see how it lights up the reflective highway markers.
