Hey everyone, i'm looking to get some aftermarket headlights, my tail lights are blacked out and i thought it'd look good to get some new headlights...i'd appreciate any input or pics to get me started.

Thanks

Black housing headlights, 230 for the pair. Which is pennies compared to the price you pay at the dealership.

Are there many aftermarket headlight options if you have factory HIDs on your Z33 already?

Yeah, I read that. Clear Corners is just darn expensive. Guess I'm going to attempt to disassemble the bad headlight, repair it, and then score a ballast on the cheap.

I was just messing with you. :poke: Clear Corners is certainly one of those unlimited budget places I like to stop by now and again but can't see buying more than a piece or two at a time thanks to the prices. Mine need some attention and even though I'd love to have a set of Clear Corners I can't warrant spending close to $2000 on them (and I'd love to have the ones from the '07 & '08s but I'd get hit with a core charge since I wouldn't be sending a set in :( ) Maybe I'll check into the Meguiar's headlight restoration kit.

You could always check salvage yards and see if there's a wrecked Z that you pick from. The only problem is that most of the Z's that I've seen that end up wrecked have severe front end damage. You might be able find one that was rear ended and totalled out or get lucky and fined a couple that just have one front corner ruined so you can get the opposite side headlight.

^^^I just want the stealth bulb and the amber strip removed...Ive seen DIY's, just have to be careful not to get fingerprints on the inside of the housings. Bet you can DIY this if your on a budget OP..

Don't mind me, just trying to get in touch with Orange

Hey Orange, you sent me a PM, but I have no way to get in touch with you. You have your email hidden and your setting: "Allow users to send you private messages" set to "No". So I can't PM you until you change that setting or you give me your email.
