I can't stop looking at this pic. Its like looking at some cool machine in the year 2150. The other aspect that really intrigues me is how the picture was taken. If the headlight was on, why doesn't the light blind out the camera?

Best pic of a Z I've seen in a long time. Just love it!

Heh, thats a picture of a demo headlight being created by clearcorners.com. Real short exposure on a tripod. Those headlights are gonna be ungodly expensve when they get released i think.

Looks like they only turned the parking lights on and then bounced a low-intensity flash onto the HID to make it look as though it is lit. It is a common effect with true projectors.

Hate to tell ya but thats an LED ring in there, if you look close you can see each led lighting it. Thats a dummy production of what they are releasing, everything is LED based and gonna be the best product ive seen in a while. The sad part is they are REALLY behind for getting this out to people. Ive been in talks with them on them for a long while, its seemingly followed through.

LOL! Yes, I know there is an LED ring there; that pic was posted months ago in the "Do you want demon eyes for your Z" thread in the electrical forum. I just thought perhaps they did something additional to make the ballast shine even brighter than the ring would've made it do.

Pretty cool product. I bet the cost will be up there.

Heh, ya, I would have guessed that to, i talked to the guys making it about getting some so only reason I knew. Least thats what they told me.... I love them, but they have no idea on cost and im betting now its gonna be very very very high so not worth it. I opted not to get their markers because of how much they wanted and i didnt like how they made them. I love the LEDs they use and the qualtiy of work is very high, but the cost also comes with that. Ah well... We will see what happens when they release them.

Huh, and I was here thinking that they took the picture in daylight to demish some some of the brightness. Shows how little I know.
