Yeah they'll look good. Im sure somebody is going to say they'll look ricey. But even so, I still think they'll look good. I made a set of those for a buddy a few years back. I drilled the housing and epoxied in a couple of small colored bulbs to color the headlight housing. It looked really good at night. And he had it wired up so the little bulb could come on independently of the main headlights so it looked like he had to glowing eyes on the front of his car.

the ones i got arent the angel eyes type, they are just the h4, with clear lens, and a blue light...i dont think that angel eyes would look that great on a Z, they just dont look good on round headlights period...they need a raparound type headlight to look good i think, and a Z with a rap around headlight would look rediculous...

they are really nice lookin headlights, and if you dont get the bulbs, just request info through ebay, and they give you their number, i called them up, said i dont have any bulbs, and they said, "ok, well send them out!" so, good service at least, but really, a nice looking set of lights for the price

I have a pair and I got bulbs too, I would suggest wiring in a relay. Gets a little more juice to them, there much brighter than the original lights......

You Mean Putting A Relay Where They Plug Into The Bulbs With A Larger Wire From The Battery? Does It Really Help That Much?

I recently wired up relays for mine. I'm running 100w bults too. I couldn't tell a difference at all but at least now the main load is off of my factory wiring. I did have an issue with a crispy connection from the headlight switch!
