Little Mods

[big_wasa]

You will be lucky to get anything for your old units as there are so many about.

Shop around for the r45's and it wont be a dear mod. I think I paid ?25 posted. Spliter seems harder to get on the cheap.

Hi Graham.

Nice to see another Z owner not too far from me.

I quite like the black grilles. Very stealth!

Only kidding just started to sound like i was on a cooking program! Leave in the oven on around 100c (reduce if using a fan assisted oven lol) for 5 minutes, and the lens will come away much easier than with a hot air gun.

I did mine in the oven at about 90 degrees for about 20 mins IIRC and they came apart quite easily although the glue is REALLY messy!!! The orange insert just needs to be prised off with a screwdriver or something. When it all goes back together just make sure it is fully sealed as any gaps in the sealant cause water in the headlights.

Don't make the same mistake I did though.........

I sprayed the silver reflector black. It looks good but my headlights are awful now. I have 100w bulbs in them at the mo and they are still terrible, but luckily I don't drive the Z much at night. Need to get some 45 headlights before the MOT.

The sheddist should sort out your problem though. I was convinced my clutch had gone as I replaced the whole hydraulic setup (master and slave) with a replacement OE one and it was the same but when I made my sheddist kit it changed everything!

That makes it much harder in my opinion, Maybe paying ?20.00 for some 45 lights is the way forward. Then sell my stardard lights to get the money back (FREE MOD )
I think i am going to give the black mesh a bash, if i dont get on with it its reversed easy enough..

Do you have to cut down a standard laguna splitter or are they a perfect fit?

Thanks

You'll be lucky to get a pair for ?20. They're usually 20 notes each on the bay!

They dont fit perfectly, and it all depends on how good you get the bend on the corners, to whether you need to cut it or not, think i got one end bob on, and the was a little over hanging.
