Originality doesn't always mesh with efficiency, cost and availability.

Otherwise I might have put a turboed M70 in my Z.

But to TDZ; nice progress. Are those tiny lights bright enough for night driving?

the price of awesomeness is still as high as ever it would seem

It's a bit harder to get those limousine engines over here.

I'm 90% sure it will, the reflectors have the right spread and create a decent beam. I chose driving lights rather than fog lights for that exact reason. The pictures I took were with the car turned off. I found out later when I went to start the car that the battery was pretty well drained, somewhere between 8-10 volts and not enough amperage to turn over the motor.
I did initially compare them to the brightness of stock headlights on a Subaru Legacy, and they were much brighter with a slightly fuller, and equally distant beam pattern, so they should work fine.

If they do turn out to be a little to dim, they do have H1 bulbs that could be replaced with HIDs, but then I'd have to do a few tests to make sure the housings wouldn't melt. But I'll cross that bridge if I come to it.

Tonight after the battery is charged I'll take it out to the Culdesac and compare it with the stock 300zx lights. I'll try and take some pics.

Well, I charged up the battery and checked it out:



They are much brighter, and came out looking great and had a nice wide beam pattern.... but one small problem.... when comparing the length of the beam, these lights had a pattern that was very short....
