i am an old school custom head light guy , i have been in the 12v industry installing /selling /modifying my entire adult life even now at 50 i just bought me a c300 benz , that unfortunately came with the not so fancy halogen head lights , and every time i see another c on the road with the premium lighting , yeah it pisses me off and i wanty to crack open the headlights and basically do everything you have done to the gtr but on my little w205. I am really impressed on how smart you are in the way you provide the instructions step by step and where to get all the parts . At first glance any installer , an i include myself in this , would immediately see dollar signs thinking how much money can be made . I been watching your content for a few hours and i am watching the evolution and growth of your business and i must commend you , you have really found a niche. and you have talent. so that guarantees you will have work. anyways enough but kissing I want to purchase enough of everything from ghozt modules , connectors, power led ,in bulk , circuit boards...... EVERYTHING. I basically want to rep you in Miami. Give me a call or give me some way of contacting you to get rolling, ive been looking for something just like your products and not only do i have a deep automotive client base down here , but also Harley's , Polaris , can am, exotic vehicles , i am retired itching to do new work. call me or give me a way to reach you.

I just went out to a local u pull junk yard and got a second set of headlights, best decision imo , highly recommend to everybody, you get to keep my stock headlights if ever you want to re sell the car , you can take your time building your custom lights
Hey Chris, seriously want to thank you for this video! I've done a few retrofit projects in the past, but was really hesitant to do the headlights on my 370Z. This video (as well as the one you made about using RetroRubber) made the entire process so much easier. Thanks a ton for sharing your knowledge!
Chris, you make this look so easy. Thankful for your experience and expertise and you're very thorough without making things sound complicated. A lot of the details you talk about I would so easily overlook. On my first retrofit, man I want to town with pads and cleaning solutions on the inside and no wonder why no matter what I do now, the lenses are just not as clear as they should be. So thanks for that piece of advice!
I am absolutely loving your channel! I've done a few mods myself in the past, and getting ready to do another on a recently acquired car. I've had a lot of trial and error over the years, and learned quite a lot! I have a process I use to restore lenses that I can comfortably guarantee for 5 years, and I've been super-tempted lately to break the market and post a tutorial. Just subbed to your channel! Looking forward to all the awesomeness in 2019! A very Merry Christmas to you and yours!
@@flyryde I used to be a 300 pound comic book nerdtill a co worker told me about moding i did the dd tail as turn first and I went crazy from there I lost 70 lbs my 2015 legacy looks like a wrx and I found an 07 spec b that was modded to stage 4 for under 15
Ugh wish I saw this before opening my Z headlights. I'm going to reseal with OEM butyl - but should I dig the existing butyl out? There's a tonne of it
The amber lenses inside of the headlight, the “Zoomerang” I can’t find anywhere to replace them with clear lenses. I’ve looked every where. Klearz, DK Moulds. Where can I find clear lenses for profile pivot amber lenses inside the headlight.
Hey do you need to upgrade your battery or alternator when upgrading to so many LEDs not all of us have such hectic cars? Well I kind of do but learning on a budget car first so I don’t wreck the good ones
Can you show how to change (i think it's called a shroud) the silver part around where the lens goes? Like show how to paint it? Im interested in making mine red
Hey what up Chris just want to know what you used to strip the chrome of the bezel? Iv seen you use it before in a bucket but don’t remember what you said it was called. Thanks brotha
Chris this is an awesome built. I remember that GTR and it was the first time I have seen anything like that. Will you be painting from the back or the front? Have seen a few 370z with the front painted. Never the back. As always can’t wait for the next video 😬
I would like to do this to my Z, but would you recommend sanding the chrome a little bit and priming it before applying paint? Should I clear coat after I paint it? Also, is there a specific brand that is best recommended for headlight modification? Sorry for all the questions but I would like to get this done right the first time... it is also not too easily reversible..
Hey Chris, would you do a video where you show how to strip the chrome off the bezel of the 370Z lights and where you go from there to paint and finish them off. Just sub'd and liked and started following on instagram and facebook!! GREAT work, my MAN!!
hey chris, can the clear cast portion on the 370's light be polished out to be less yellow after stripping the chrome paint, or is this just the color of the plastic its cast out of? about to tear into my z's headlights and want to do a switchback strip under the long flat section it if its possible to remove the yellow tint, if not guess its going on top like everyone else, thanks, keep up the awesome vids.
Pedro Rivera haha 👍 hopefully the series does as well as the RX8. I think there’s a TON more custom lights done on 370z than RX8 but so far the info I’ve seen out there is terrible 🤦♂️

This is a dope channel 👍
cesar p 👊
Can you show how to reseal the lights properly?
jchi778 absolutely.
Curious on how you strip the chrome! Waiting for part 2😊
Great content! Well-explained & straight to the point! (👍🏽)
You mentioned in one of your other vids, there would be a list of vendors for the supplies to accomplish lighting mods
Can you customize other kinds of headlights housing like ford edge? Ty👍🏼

Link to the degreaser you use to strip the chrome plz!!
Was the airbag crash sensors attached to the front bumper when you took it off?
Or was it attached to the car frame?
There should be 3
nice Chris... dude I would love to custom my 2005 ml 350 w163 boring ass headlights ....something like the new Benzes ...any idead?
how do you reseal the lights? do you put your sealant directly into the channel?

Joe Verdoza doing a whole video on it soon bro. It’s a degreaser actually.
FlyRyde awesome I’ll be lookin our for it

Vincent maybe if the plastic were clear I’d do the back, but it’s kinda yellowish. I’ll paint the front 👍
Which kind of paint do you recommend for the housing???
Is that oven for baking?

did you end up releasing the video on how to strip chrome? would really like to do this sometime soon on my Nismo
Chris, what do you use for your mat
I've been afraid to open these headlights for years. Maybe I'll buy another pair to work on
Hi! What product do u use to strip the chrome out the internals? Great job you’re doing there👊
Great vid, thanks for sharing
Can you make a videos of Resealing the headlight also
Booty Eater yup
How do you open permasealed headlights? I remember you mentioning in a previous video that there is a tool for it
Permaseal are a pain to open you can either cut the headlight or just use a lot of heat
Yeah I’ve shown the tools before. I’ll take a stab at an effort using them. I already hate myself for it it, lol
Where do I get the honeycomb demon eye?
hey chris, can the clear cast portion on the 370's light be polished out to be less yellow after stripping the chrome paint, or is this just the color of the plastic its cast out of? about to tear into my z's headlights and want to do a switchback strip under the long flat section it if its possible to remove the yellow tint, if not guess its going on top like everyone else, thanks, keep up the awesome vids.
What glue should we use...?
What kind of paint did you use?
Hi.. im from Puerto Rico. I have a 370z 2010. If I send to you my headlamp do you customize ? And how much is? I KNOW that it depends whath I want
Farenheit or celcius?
Can you please do a head light re finishing video???
