Anyone have a broken Z headlight lying around that they wanna get rid of? I'll pay the postage on it

 

Wanna See what I can Put in it to improve the lights

No I dont. But the answer is H3 HID's ;) The difference is literally like night and day.

Already have hids

I was thinking of putting the projector of a supra light in as they have amazing projetion at night, You dont even have to use the hi beam :eek:

I wanna see if I can put in 3 of the round ones, 2 hid low beam and a high beam

similar to the supra then :)

Don't know the only supra I had, had pop up lights

Already have hids

 

and your not happy with the lighting ? and its a 6000k(or lower) kit ?

 

If so, Then you have dirty lenses, all zed headlights get very dirty inside, but you cant really tell until you dissassemble them and clean them. The ellipsoid glass and the inside the glass housings get very dirty. Taking them apart and cleaning them makes a very big difference.

 

My Z (on left) next to my 99 Toyota celica (on right).

 

The celica has excellent lights but they are like candles in comparison.

Took some pics last night, I'll post them up later. The beams are alot lower than yours, mine seem to stop about half way up the tarmac if I was on your pic, can I adjust them?

There are adjusters on the back of the headlights.

I have a box of old headlight parts that can be built up. I will look it out over the weekend for you if you want? Will be able to make at least 1 good headlight out of it.

I like the sound of that, be keeping eye on this thread

Sounds good, not trying to make one good one though, wanna re-design the lights:hyper:

With main beam

 

outside the car

 

Inside the car

If you have HIDs they should be good enough.

 

As said above, give the inside of the lenses a clean and then take the car to an MOT station to have the beam levels re-alligned.

 

That will make all the difference and you won't have to add any more lights;)

They look like they are pointing far too low

Anyone got measurements to set the lights up, distance from wall and height up from the wall

This is not by any means a scientific way of doing a headlight alignment but here goes:

 

Park the car 7 meters from a wall

Measure the height (from the ground) to the top of the headlight

Project the headlights onto the wall and adjust until the top of the beam is at the same hight as the headlight.

 

A far better way of doing this is to drop by a local MOT station - they can set it up for you in 5 minutes and will only cost £5~£10. At least then you know it's set up to the legal setting.

Just done it, couldn't see much but they were far to low, have adjusted them to the max as they then line up to the line might have to drop then a bit, wait till its dark to find out!

And also adjusted the main bean as that was low as well!

Tried them last night, so much better that they were, but I still aint happy with them. So I am still gonna try and make a better set:)
