Just spent the weekend stripping and cleaning my headlights (that back inner bolts a bitch aint it !!! ) Fixed the adjusters using Tamiya model car differential gears , great link Dave zx , painted the inner bezels silver to match the car , looks the dogs dangleys and fitted a set of HID,s out of a CL 500 AMG MERC .We had one in for a front end repair which needed a pair of headlights, i knew these were hid,s well they ought to be at £700 each :shock:

Anyway out came the air saw , canabalised the lights and hey presto one complete hid kit :hyper:

I cut off the bulb mounting off the back of the merc reflector, removed the ones off the Z , got the dremel out and opened the holes out a bit untill the merc ones fitted, a dollop of epoxy job done :D

Just been out to set em up on a dark lane WOOOOOOOOW cannot believe the difference, the road was lit up like daylight :nana2:

Anybody thinking about converting to hid,s DO IT you won,t regret it.

take some pics, let us all have a look.

The guy in the model shop said there are only two differential bevel gear sets , ones nylon , the other are metal so you can,t really go wrong and its a piece of cake to do. The other thing i found was to use a 2Kw electric blow heater to heat the whole glass up rather than a heat gun and go around the glass bonding with a paint scraper, carefully prizing it up as you go

Now wots next on my list of to do,s :headvswal

Agreed mate got the HID kit on mine and I can finally see the road!
