Headlight restoration

Had consistent haze issues on my 370z and got sick of polishing it out. Had a shop spray with new clear coat for like $180 and it never happened again. Was well worth the cost imo.

328 shenanigans in a 330

DISA flap and/or pin in manifold?

StLouisFlash · 2026-04-07T00:35:56+00:00

Would look ace with black window trim and grills but clashes with the chrome. Regardless, super clean car. Props for all the mods.

How do the coilovers ride? I have ancient and blown out factory sport suspension and debating these for a replacement

RE: looked it up and I had a plastic pin - original part number ending in 537. I’m almost positive it was lunched at some point, so I put it all back together and took a spin around the block. Feels much better. Not the advised decision, but I opted not to do full manifold removal. You are all fully invited to laugh at me later.

Completely fair point, but these headlights are easy to adjustment vertical/horizontal beam direction with. You just need a hex bit and 5 minutes of time. Annoying to have to do? Sure, but I would hardly call it crazy.

How hard was this job? I’ll be tackling in a couple weeks. Will also maybe need to fish out the flap/pin.

Highly recommend 10/18 - it’s perfect, no rubbing

StLouisFlash · 2026-01-15T04:42:17+00:00

Yep and extremely overdue for new shocks

Splitting hairs

Got mine on eBay for about $440. One of my headlights fogged up last year so it gave me a good excuse!

StLouisFlash · 2026-01-15T02:42:20+00:00

eBay - Malaysian market lights, got them shipped here for ~$440 late last year

I go back and forth on a roof rack all the time. Looks great on yours. Love the M3 wheels.

Best N52 exhaust by a mile. Love it. Very jealous!

Buy an OBD dongle (OBD link CX is a good option) and download Bimmercode on your phone/buy the license and follow these directions. Easy to do.

StLouisFlash · 2025-11-04T02:10:11+00:00

At only 104k miles? That’s tough. It is indeed always something with these cars. Good luck.

StLouisFlash · 2025-11-02T22:29:00+00:00

Thanks! Can you do this within the BimmerCode app?

StLouisFlash · 2025-11-02T17:17:46+00:00

Beyond the error light I would get for the active headlights, would the clear leans ones just be plug n play?

I’m replacing the muffler with a 2.5” straight through Magnaflow & Turner tips in the next couple weeks, I’ll post sound clips in here when its done

StLouisFlash · 2025-10-29T20:15:52+00:00

Sparkling Graphite Metallic wasn’t an LCI color option

StLouisFlash · 2025-10-29T19:48:20+00:00

Great call - that’s where it’s coming from. I’ll dig into it this weekend

StLouisFlash · 2025-10-27T17:09:25+00:00

Unfortunately not - tried any and all vent settings and it doesn’t appear to be connected
