  1. Could you also please do me my wheels in an anthracite colour 😄

     

    Sure, although do you mind letting me know how it should differ (maybe post an example)? Sorry, I'm a bit clueless about paint colours. I thought dark graphite is pretty much the same as anthracite! :)

  2. The connectors can be a PITA to remove

     

    O...M...G... are they a PITA! I tried for ageeees until my friend came along and did it in under a minute per side. Made me feel like an idiot :lol:

     

    Out of the stuff I've personally done, that connector, the connector under the trim by the handbrake and the white clips for the rear bumper have been the worst!

     

    Oh and if it's a pre-facelift 350z you're talking about, I'm pretty sure it's 3 4 bolts - 2 from the front of the car, 1 from the side and 1 on top. As veeg33 said though, looking at your new headlights should give you the answer. :)

  3. only coz I clicked on his link to his photobucket account and saw something that suggests that's what's underneath. Could by a 370z Nismo with a badly wrapped cloth finish.

    stalking :scare:

     

    Oh yeah, nice spot. Turns out I was right! :thumbs:

  4. Kid you got mad skills, I'd take a headlamp apart to that degree and it would never work again lol

     

    Cheers man :) Although I put it down to having a bit of an OTT personality + trial and error + doing a TON of Googling! :lol:

     

    There's still a lot of potential issues that I can think of, but I have no idea if it's an issue I need to address etc... so I guess I'll leave it for now and sort if/when needed.

  5. Been ages since I've updated this thread, but I have been working away very hard (for a noob!).

     

    Although I'll post proper updates later once it's done, but here's a list of things I've been working on:

    • Painting headlight housing satin black
    • Completely stripping the wiring as it's a mess
    • Replaced the old HIDs with new eBay specials. May look into upgrading the projector housing and get a proper set of HIDs in the future. Waaaay in the future as I've now been working on these since April (?) so I'm a bit sick of them! :lol:
    • Replaced the halos with COB LEDs
    • Adding PWM to the halos so that I can dim them when the low beam is on, i.e. it's dark
    • Adding demon eyes
    • Decided rather than having the halos + 5 "spider eye" looking LEDs, I'd replace the latter with sequential indicators

    Some pics and videos for a sneaky peaky :)

     

    Bought some stuff:
