hey ramman434, like i said before.. love the lights, I see it but again i dont see it, whats the diff. between your headlights vs mine (reg factory) you color it black or chrom, b/c it looks black from the view, can i purchase this sort of headlight that you did to yours.. i know old and stupid question, but i been pretty slow at this lately.. haha . thanks in advance!

(a comparison upclose pix would be great!)

I see, same thing with with corner lights, how did you sand the inside of the housing, you open the light/projector thingy i assume, i didnt know you can open that part.

you take a torch and heat up the glass where it meets the plastic housing. This will heat up the sealant and get it soft so you can pull the glass lense off. I've replaced my passenger side headlight lense and one of my fog light lenses, both haven't vaporized just make sure you heat up the sealant and press the lense back on really good.

Yeah I got spacers. I actually want to get rid of these and get the 5 spoke 35th Anniversary 350Z wheels. Those are sex.
