No problem man. Just wanted to see how you were doing.

I opened the package with James, and it looks fantastic.

Creative motherf**kers like you.... create a clear distinction between having taste, and just tons of money: throwing a laundry list of expensive parts at the 350z.

Some people embarass this little community of ours, but you do the complete opposite.

Much props.

Yes. That's the first thing I noticed when I turned them on. They are definitely a lot brighter than the 03-05 HIDs. The high beams are just insane!

Rebel XT w/ the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM lens

Got the kit through Vertex USA & the wing was purchased through the private classifieds here. Yeah, I definitely got lucky on the wing. I know a bunch of people are looking for it & I happen to find a guy who was parting out his ride.

Yeah, this seems to be the norm when us 03-05 guys upgrade to the 06 headlights. THE TECH...if you have DIY instructions on this fix, please PM me the link so I can test it out.

No not yet. It may come sometime today. I'll let you know...

Well, if you're talking about the rainbow swirls you saw from Nitrouz's pics....no. That's because I didn't use a polarized filter lens when I took these pics. Under the sun, I don't recall seeing it either but I'm pretty sure they were caused by my filter.

Actually I saw the rainbow swirls in person on your headlights. But nothing a few sprays of windex won't fix...mine are gone already.

btw thanx for giving me credit for actually helping you DECIDE on SOMETHING...and help putting it on your car as well!

GJ! I always wanted to see the 06 headlights done in a graphite/gunmetal versus using black. This color definitely looks great with SS!

Outstanding! You've done an excellent job putting everything together; bodykit, wheels, BBK, headlights. Looks factory yet much more.

If you can get the headlights to me by Friday, I can ship them out Saturday and you can get them by Monday. Overnight shipping is going to be expensive though. Send me an email to Dan@MrZipps.com
