Cleared out my Headlights finally.
One of my pet-peeves is ANY ORANGE in headlights. So I finally did it one night with pics of the process. Yes, I know this is and old thing to do, but I just like to share 
The beginning
- I didn't have pics when I took part the headlights, cuz my hands and my brothers were busy pulling it part.
- Silcone FTW, no leaks or condensation for 1 month, it's even been out in the pooring rain the past weeks.
- I got chrome signal bulbs from ebay: seller: rjcalnan, very nice, fast service!
- LED's from superbrightleds.com $25 a bulb, (haven't bough the diffusers yet)
- You can buy the reflector in clear or smoked from http://www.ricks2k.com/products/350zdiffusers.php $55, fast and friendly
- Thx Eric ZDiRty, for the links and tips
I was going to make a DIY post, but I'm lazy, I'll just post the pics in that one that is up atm.
Thank you Laosifu: https://my350z.com/forum/body-interior-exterior-and-lighting-diy/37752-diy-black-housing.html for thje original DIY post instructions.
NO I will not do this for anyone else!!!!! took me 8 hrs by myself, but I will offer any help
"if you can build a gundam lvl4+, then u can do this to" lol
See you guys at the next meet!

Rob, that looks like a lot of work. Wow!
Great job on posting all of the step-by-step pictures.
I'm on the same boat as you, because I can't stand my orange reflectors.
The final results look awesome, specially on your black Z.
I can't wait to see it in person.
BTW, are you bringing your sweet ride to this Friday's meet?
If you decide to come down, dinner is on me.
Here is link to the GTG:

I don't know how it is with the removal of polyurethane/carbonfiber eyelids...
Here's the link to the vinyl im getting (A LOT of selections!)

Great Job on the clearing out the reflectors & the write up 
Your Z is becoming nicer & nicer each time I see it,
Now all you need is a little carbon fiber add-on's here & there & you'll be all set to go.
Good luck on the up and coming add-on's
By the way I'm always here if you need a hand but I'll pass on those purple latex gloves.

And yes I can't wait for my new part to come in, I'm debating to paint it on the sides and leave the CF open in the middle
