The dark ones look great but are way to hard to see the light output I would suggest you go a similar amount to what i did…

so you bought the headlights? damn that must have not been cheap. your 03 is a base, so you won’t have hids… are there any differences between the housings for the halogen bulbs versus the hids? i’ve never looked that closely at them because mine are hid.
i like the nismo stuff like in the pic on the 2nd page - the side skirts, rear skirts, and im assuming the did something with the front. not over the top, but a little spiced up from stock. of course you need a drop to make that look good too. have you been to [my350z.com](http://my350z.com)? there are a lot of douchebags on that site but there is a ton of info there.

1.Kdubs honestly your SS is so sick, aldog I have been to my350 just for research I always check that first when I am looking for info. I dont know if I mentioned it in my OP but, I am definitely smoking the tails I want a little red tint showing through I think it’d look sweet, and skate shelter definitely take a picture once its painted and on…what color is your 350 btw?

One of the lights has the most odd cracks/chips in them(like that when I bought the car). The other one is perfect though…

Thats not a bad price. Does that include install? Or just paint?
