jay28 Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 Yeah im pleased with them, I wasn't sure how they would look but turned out better than I thought, will look better with tinted light covers I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB26powered74zcar Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Real nice!! You will love the view at night now. Those have a real clean cut off pattern.

ckolander Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I like them, but I can't think of any way to justify spending that much money right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jay28 Posted April 5, 2009 Author Share Posted April 5, 2009 Here's a better pic of what they look like.........I'm going to get tinted lightcovers I think they will look better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogie Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 They look good, but I would like them better if they were more set back in the bezel. I thought I found a website with them for a much better deal, but they were priced individually instead of as a pair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I found a website with them for a much better deal, but they were priced individually instead of as a pair. Yeah they do come out a bit far but the light covers should smooth things over . I think I paid a fair price, the only modification I had to make was to drill a bigger hole in the light housing so I could fit the connections through, apart from that they fit right in.

Forrest Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 When you have a chance, could you take a picture of your beam pattern against a wall that's farther away, like Joel's picture? Also, do you have a picture of the back of the light? How far does it stick out into the wheel well? Did you have to ditch the plastic inner fender liner? And how much did you have to cut out of your stock housing-bucket, (or whatever that piece that you normally bolt the sealed beams into is called.) Thanks! -Forrest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! -Forrest Could be awhile before im out in the dark in the z again, maybe next weekend, The light fits into the standard light housing, so it doesn't stick out any further into the wheel well than normal. I just had to drill a bigger hole in the housing to get the connections through. There is an ebay link on page 1 with more pics of the light.

Sumo Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Here's a better pic of what they look like.........I'm going to get tinted lightcovers I think they will look better. Headlight covers sound like a good idea because from this angle your car looks like it has goiter.:willy_nil j/k Car looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha, thats a good discription!!, covers have been ordered Will the covers throw the light pattern off I wonder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24OZ Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Will the covers throw the light pattern off I wonder? That's a good question. I've heard that they do dim the standard Z lights significantly but that shouldn't be a problem with the light you'll be throwing out. Would be good to do what forrest suggest one pre light covers and one with. Glad it's worked out for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantagon Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Looks great. Let us know how they fair with the tinted headlight covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garvice Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 WOW! I dream of having lights that bright in my Z. I have driven around with my high beams on and people haven't even noticed. I don't like how the projectors stick out though, it looks like a sealed beam headlight in backwards. Are all HID projectors like this?
