    Thanks for checking Hilldweller.

    Thanks, I appreciate that. I'll look for specs on the 8700. JW Speaker website only has info on the Evolution model at this point...

    That is all good to know. Tucking away that part number for reference, thanks. Still firmly on the fence at this point, but I have time to noodle on it.

    Updating 7" round sealed beam headlights

    I've never seen driving lights atop the bumper, but I've seen a few fog lights mounted below the bumper. When air dams are equipped, I've seen them mounted in the brake duct. I'm pretty sure I don't want to mount any other lights. That's an interesting trick. Would that kill bulb life?

    I will take your word for the 8700. Do they still seel the 8700 non Evolution? I'll have to check out that code, thanks for the suggestion!

    I've seen a few Z's that run in rally that pack lights like that. If I were running in a SCORE race, yep I'd mount lights anywhere and everywhere on my Z. But it is mostly street with some trackdays.

    Is the Koito H4 Toyota part number 90981-01035? When I look that up it comes up as a sealed beam unit.

    Complete re-wire of the car: new wiring, appropriate sized fuses and relays. I don't know exactly what since I don't yet know the components that I'll be using. I read that HB2/9003 are better focused than H4, so it seems to me that that's what I should use. Thanks, will look for pricing...

    Your headlight shootout was awesome. Thank you! They've gone a long way to convince me that LEDs need a bit more time to bake. The JW Speaker 8700/Evolution sounded looked good on paper. This shot of the foreground, isn't very good. What are Cibie Z-Beams? Are these headlights similar to the...

    Yep, the Z is a fun car. Even up on jackstands, as mine is, its a whole lot of fun. Except for the rust. I looked at the airdam I am planning to install and I don't see how it would look right, so I think that is out the window.

    Yep, this is the Hella product page on the 90mm BiXenon module. I think the kit Mr. Stern mentioned is this, being sold by Susqehana Motorsports. $1400. I had come here to ask if it is worth it.

    Thanks for the shoot-out info, will be catching up on that today. The appearance of the 90mm lights in both BiHalogen and BiXenon are what's stopping me. It is a lot of money, it should work well and look great - halfway there with the 90mm :) I saw pictures of the JW Speaker 8700 and 8700...

    Yes, the glass headlight covers were a factory option. I have no idea how common that option was, but given the number of Z's sold in those years, you'd think the'd be all over the place nowadays. Sadly, they are not. Too expensive to buy now, nevermind hoard. :broke: And yes, I would hoard...

    Hi Hamilton, my Z is a '72 as well. And brown. :) I had/have 7" Wagner sealed beams. They are very good at wasting electricity, bad at everything else. TJJP77 also suggested auxiliary lights. Definitely something to consider if I can find a way to make it inconspicous enough. I will be adding...

    Updating 7" round sealed beam headlights

    Thanks for the advice! Cibie H4 certainly has a lot of fans here, and looking like with good reason. I'm trying to keep the Z looking stock-ish, so I don't want to add more lights. That being said, since I never really considered it, I never thought about what it would look like. Do cornering...
