Looking to detango a 1999 Z.

On Ebay part number 63128381086, will they fit all models?

Yes and No.

All Detango lights are the same for 1999 onwards which had plastic lenses. Absolutely fine and far more available than the early era lights with Glass lenses. The way to visibly tell is the lights will have chrome trim surrounding the bulb lenses and the pre 99 detango lights have no chrome trim.

Yes I have clear headlights available £200 delivered to mainland UK

All have a bit of tinging from bulb heat over the years.

Thanks for the replies, so yes my recently purchased Z has the orange indicators...would the ones with clear and chrome around the bulbs fit?

Yes, some early prefacelift 4 cylinder have the side lights in the headlights too, but on your facelift they are in the bumper. So will be plug and play

How do you fit those in, is it easy to open the headlight?
Also if anyone wants to share a photo of how they look because I've seen most people go for full new aftermarket headlights w/ angel eyes fitted 🤓

Best bet is to send your lights to Zedonist to do them for you.. otherwise you need to heat your lights in the oven and it all gets a bit sticky
