Many
350Z owners favor the look of the clear corner headlamp assemblies.
To save money, some have converted the stock amber-corner
US headlamp assemblies, which requires melting the sealant
that holds the assemblies together, removing the amber diffusers,
then resealing the units. The results, many agree, look a
bit amateurish. The turn signal reflector and bulb are exposed,
and the assembly looks unfinished.
For
as long as owners have been doing the clear-corner conversion,
people have been looking for a reasonably-priced set of clear
lenses to replace the amber plastic lenses that cover the
exposed reflectors and bulbs. Also, there is a risk that improper
reassembly of the lamps will permit moisture to condense inside,
ruining their appearance.
With
the help of several other 350Z owners, Rick’s can finally
offer an inexpensive solution. We are now offering clear or
smoked diffusers for the US lamp assemblies (diffuser
installation instructions). Our diffusers have the same
pattern as the stock amber diffusers and fit the lamp assembly
perfectly. The diffusers are offered in two colors clear or
gray tinted.
A
pair of our diffusers in either color, ready to install, is
just $55 + shipping.
For
those who don't want to take the trouble and risk of taking
apart the headlamp assemblies themselves, Rick's is also offering
a special conversion option. For only $200 (including the
cost of the diffusers), your stock amber-corner headlamp assembly
can be converted to clear corners by an experienced Headlight
Clearing Specialist. This requires that you remove the assemblies
and ship them to our Headlight Clearing Specialist, where
the conversion will be done within in about 48 hours and the
assemblies shipped back to you. Since you will be paying for
shipping both directions, you can select who the carrier is
(UPS, FedEx, etc..) and what the speed and cost will be. The
lamps are guaranteed to be free of defects and leaks for three
months. Any defects in the conversion will be repaired free
of charge.
To
order the conversion, follow these steps:
1.
Select the conversion option. When you place the order, your card will
be billed only for the cost of the diffusers ($100) as a deposit.
2. Once your order is processed, you will be contacted via e-mail by our
Headlight Clearing Specialist with detailed shipping instructions.
3. Ship them at your expense, to the address supplied by our Headlight
Clearing Specialist.
4. We convert them, and ship back.
5. Once the conversion is completed and the headlamps have
been shipped back to you, the return shipping will be billed
to your card.
Important!
When
you ship your headlamp assemblies, insure the shipment for
$1300.00. This will cover the replacement cost of the headlamp
assemblies. You are required
to remove the HID bulbs and ballast prior to shipping. This
will reduce shipping cost, and these parts are not required
as part of the clearing process and can only get and/or cause
damage during shipping.
Note:
Shipping Date is scheduled for 9/1/05
