Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted March 3, 2016 Posted March 3, 2016 Hi All, NEW UPDATED PRICES FOR 2018 AND BACK IN STOCK Had a batch of these delivered: De are carbon effect £75 HR are black £85 Fitting instruction for the DE ones from forum member Ben - HR should be the same. Fitting 350z Reflector Daytime Running Lights. Equipment Required 1x Set of Tarmac Sport Reflector DRL’s 1x Auto DRL switch - http://www.ebay.co.u...=STRK:MEBIDX:IT 2 x In line wire taps (available from Maplins 10mm Socket Short posi-drive screw driver Impact gun / Tyre Iron Car Jack Axle stand Fine flat head screw driver. Time required About 1 hour. Process Disconnect Battery Jack up front end of the car and place on stands. Remove the front wheel. (note that if you don’t have an impact gun you should loosen your wheel nuts on the ground) Remove the wheel liner – this requires removal of one screw panel clip and 3 other panel clips which can be levered up with the fine screw driver. I didn’t remove the ones under the car and simply bent the wheel liner out of the way. Then you need to undo the front bumper (two 10mm hex heads under the arch liner) and remove all 6 of the plastic clips in the engine bay which hold on the bumper. At this point you can lever the bumper forward just enough to get access to the reflectors without removing the whole bumper. using the small posi-drive, remove the reflector by unscrewing the two screws. This image is taken after i had removed the reflector. Push the new DRL’s into place and check the fitment. If the fit is good, screw them in. I had already wired up the auto switch to the manufacturers instructions and led the cable out above the head lights I also took this opportunity to fit LED side lights On one side you also have to tap into the side light positive. I did this with the inline tap from Maplin electronics. I wired mine to the main head light. Technically you should wire to the side light but i thought it looked way cooler this way. Once you have done this i would check it all still works by attaching the auto switch to the battery briefly, then reverse the process to put the bumper back on. I also took this opportunity to fit some Tarmac wheel spacers and bleed my brakes. (I had to steal the pipe from the hoover to torque them up!) Repeat the above for the opposite side. When both DRL’s are fitted, you have to wire the auto switch into the ignition of the car. After a bit of research i found that the yellowwire at the back of the plenum turned positive when the ignition was on. I used another maplins conector here. Those of you into engine dress up will probably want to find a neater way of doing this. I earthed the switch to the bracket which holds on the wires that i tapped into. Reattach the battery and check it all works. Remember that the lights must turn off when you turn on your headlights. Here is a picture of the finished product, more to come on the weekend when I can do something cool. 6 months warranty 1 Quote
FallenAngelX Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Anymore pictures of these at different angles? How do these look straight from the front? as the leds appear to be at a angle in the pictures Thanks Quote
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted March 9, 2016 Author Posted March 9, 2016 Anymore pictures of these at different angles? How do these look straight from the front? as the leds appear to be at a angle in the pictures Thanks They sit at the same angle as OEM reflectors - no more pics I'm afraid Quote
FallenAngelX Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Will take a set of these too. Payment inbound De carbon effect £65: 1 Quote
GappySmeg Posted March 23, 2016 Posted March 23, 2016 Are there (or will there be) any other finishes for the DE lights? I cannot stomach the idea of having any "farbon" on my car... but I notice in Ben's pics the lights have a simple matt black finish. Failing that, can the farbon be simply peeled off, or would I need to sand/paint? Quote

Failing that, can the farbon be simply peeled off, or would I need to sand/paint? It would be fairly easy to cover the carbon with a template.Not sure about peeling it off though You could just buy a sheet of any colour wrap and put it on top - A4 sheets are only 1 or 2 pound off eBay Quote
