I am eventually going to take off my front lip and fix it... It was like this when I got the car... Or get a new front bumper... dunno yet...

Anyone have a Passenger side foglight for sell PM me!

[95Blue240sx]

I might have a pass fog, let me make sure its a pass side.

Thanks for checking!!!!!

[Nizzan4u2nv]

Wow, that actually makes the corners look dull in comparison. Wonder how it would look like with origin or supermade corners.

[Agamemnon]

I have a pass fog I can sell you. PM me for details.

[[email protected]]

yeah, I replaced the passenger side corner light with a new one... but, definatly makes the drivers side look weak sauce... so, Im probably going to be changing that really soon too...



Agamemnon.. Ill PM you if things dont work out with this person who just emailed me... thankyou!

[big_schaf]

wow that looks alot cleaner

[phrozen]

plastic corners kill it. wish they made glass corners to match even tho theyd probably break

[[email protected]]

I have what I think are Amber corner lights on order... well see when they come in...

I do have amber turn signal bumper lights on order for sure...

[Nizzan4u2nv]

Nice. I wasnt aware there were any amber corner lights. How much are a pair of amber bumper lights anyway? There oem for euro 200sx or is it australian? Id like to see what that looks like when youre done.

[projectRDM]

If you bought the lights with the high beam plug/harness, it's the same connector as the foglight. Just cut a plug off a salvage car and wire it in. If not, you can get the Kouki headlight plug/harness and cap and it's close, just needs an o-ring to seal it tight.

What's funny is that the corners looks so clear compared to USDM headlights but when you put the glass headlights it throws the flow. I had the origin/supermade corners but it didn't flow either. (IMO) the clear FK lenses match well...but I guess I'm bias cause it's what I decided to keep :bigok:

[Nizzan4u2nv]

That looks very good. How was the install for the lenses? I wanna get a set but i dont wanna go and mess it all up.

[koukidough]

oh %$#^! It's like day and night with those glass headlights. Very Nice!

[Gnnr]

Dunkee, you got me a bit confused. On that last pic you posted what headlights and corners are those?

[24Dee]

Dunkee, you got me a bit confused. On that last pic you posted what headlights and corners are those?


first picture he posted is FK corners with Glass headlights.... second picture is all FK setup.... He kept the FK corners with the Glass headlights.....

[Dunkee]

My bad! The corners in both the pics are the same...just lighting and angle is different. I have FK clear lenses on stock corners. I had the origin/supermade but didn't take any pics...didn't think it flowed well though so I sold them.

The install is not hard but really annoying. The lense is oversized so you have to trim it a bit. When you heat and pull off the stock lenses you have to be real carefull w/ the glue. If it sticks to the reflector it'll look like ass...and you can't clean it cause it will show the scratches. I had to buy an extra corner cause I messed up the first. I used clear silicone to seal them together. After it's sealed the the edges where it's glued look nasty so I masked the center and painted over the edges w/ black. Came out decent and gives character I guess.

Nah it's just the angle. They are both Glass headlights w/ FK corners. Sorry for being so confusing too many thoughts in my head!

[[email protected]]

I have amber overlay's... I may even just put them over the corners... well see when those other parts come in... eh eh ...

Ill work on getting a harness this weekend so i can plug in the high beams... I just didnt want to make a direct connection... I like being able to unplug stuff :-/

[mr_240sx]

wow those headlights look awesome!!!!

[aznpoopy]

thats definitely looking real nice

[Gnnr]

Oh, okay. Thanks for clearing that up. :D

So I took my car out for the first time at night since I installed the headlamps...

and ill be... the HIGH BEAMS WORK!

They come from the same spot as the low beams... I guess its the same on the OE as well, but crap... Ive never looked!

I am guessing the other harness is just for running lights? Ill hook it up eventually... but pretty sure its just a running lamp...

Wow, that's scary. The outer beam is a high/low, the inner beam is high only. Yes you can drive with just the outer highbeam but the inner one is there for a reason. OE lights are just like that here too. You sure you work at a Nissan dealer? :ugh:

I figured since it went on that was the high beam...

Sorry, I dont stand infront of 240's flashing the high beams... :-/ I know what all the bulbs are in there, but yeah, mostly part numbers... :-/

the high beam function works, weither or not it is fully or not, didnt know till now... I thought if i put the high beams on it would just go dark... thats why I was supprized...

[CKAMC]

Thats why I just sit here. I just introduce myself and then if anyone wants to they come ask me. I find myself giving other people business when I know they have it. You can only advertise and push so much, the rest just "happens" .

In the mean time I just read and learn to make myself much more resourceful.

Ohh yeah postwhoring FTW :)

[Phlip]

Jesus tittyfucking christ.
Jason - never met you, but you ARE an advertisor and I would expect better behavior from someone attempting to run a business.
Russ - I have been to your house, shop and favorite watering hole, I consider you and I to be "friends," you know how much I hate to HAVE to do work for something that could have been avoided.
Justin - I HAVE met you on more than 2 occasions, and I would expect better of you as well.


... posts deleted, the deletion of them IS my warning, simple as that.

[35suren]

did u have to rewire anything?

Nice job Jason, congratulations. You've taken your first step toward having better lighting.

Now, before you waste time with a bullshit HID retrofit kit (because I know you will), come buy a set of REAL bulbs for your high and low beams, because I know you dont have the GOOD shit. :-)

ps: H4 bulbs are for your main low/high beams. It is highly recommended that you connect the secondary H3 bulb for your supplementary high beams.

Pssh.. quit fuckin around people, you ALL need better lighting. save the PIAA shit for HIN, cause that shit is weak!

[cdlong]

hey jason, can you take a picture of your low beam pattern and PM it to me? or just post it here if you want.

i've got glass headlights too, i wired mine up the same as the original headlights which makes the lows the outside light and the highs are the inside light. i need to wire up the outside light to stay on with the high beam but i haven't really looked into it. how did you wire yours?

[xcusememisswyn]

This thread died last July...

PM him if its that important

[cdlong]

oh damn, at least i didn't revive it for that.

[ixfxi]

oh shit, this thread is older than dog turd.

[slapinfunk]

haha... old thread...

that name isnt taking PM's any more... I no longer work at performance nissan...

I can take a pic of the beam pattern as it is now...

I am going Kouki, I have all my parts now, just waiting to be painted... then im taking off my Zenki front and selling it, including my glass headlamps...

[cdlong]

thanks, just post it up here. pm me if you would rather e-mail it.

[slapinfunk]

im going out side now to take pix... finished my pot pie!

[slapinfunk]

I never really adjusted them from out of the box now that i think of it... haha...

but, here are some pix from my camera in the car resting on the steering wheel, so its as close to drivers perspective as it gets...

Just low beam pattern...

Turns out this is only the passenger side...

slapinfunk: sent u a PM

[cdlong]

not the greatest background but i get the idea.

[slapinfunk]

not the greatest background but i get the idea.


yeah, no flat walls around my apartment unfortunatly...

they look much better from my old plastic lights thats for sure though...

[slapinfunk]

HAHA LMFO!

So, I'm driving home tonight, cop shines his spot light on me and flips around, pulls me over...

long story short, drivers side headlamp is out!

Looking at my car parked in the same spot, beam looks the same...

the above pix are of the Passenger side only!

SORRY!

I had no clue...

[cdlong]

even better, the passenger side was the one i was wondering about.

[slapinfunk]

I had no idea it was burnt out... then again, I havent been doing much night driving lately...

If i put another bulb in ill take a new pic, but I might just change my front instead... eh eh

[cdlong]

what happens when you burn out a bulb on that front end? S15 time!

[slapinfunk]

what happens when you burn out a bulb on that front end? S15 time!



the bulb is fine... I put my old plastic zenki lights back on... they didnt work...

looked, and it was a fuse... blah... so just switched the fuse..

Im going with some big projectors ;)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v461/PerformanceNISMO/JasonS14KOUKISwapParts/P1050399.jpg

[ixfxi]

better change those shitty large projectors, to ones that shine light on the proper side of the road.

[slapinfunk]

i shine light in your general direction!

[Brian]

Oh fuck yeah
japanese kouki lights.

I had some but then sold them (regretfully, with my whole kouki front end)

The J lights are so much better than the A ones.

[ixfxi]

oh yeah? what makes them so much better? do tell...

[Ian]

They're shinier


They're sweet looking but they dont work in america

[crazyikimasho]

They also use dual H1 bulbs versus H1 and 9007 (IIRC)... I like them, and I know that Brian will decide to go back to them so I have a set waiting for him in Will Call when he changes his mind :)

[Brian]

I just like the look of them 10x more than USA lights.

Projector being bigger and farther out and such.
Dual H1.

pow pow pow

[slapinfunk]

JDM - Larger Projector, Split Housing between Projector and Highbeam
UDM - Smaller Projector, Single Housing no seperation

JDM Stylee hottness....

[EDacIouSX]

What's there to drool over? JDM Beam pattern is on the wrong side of the road and they are projectors lights, not hids..... retro fit some hid lights in and call it a day

[Brian]

Because some of us (ME) don't care at all about pussy fotting aroond with beam patterns and such.
My car is so beat up that I don't even have a pattern anymore. It's just a small blast of lighted shit.
HID - Oh watch a simple plug and play kit go right in and have no worries at all.

I can't believe some of you guys act like your car is a fucking luxury vehicle.
GET serious. It's a 20 year old pile of shit nissan. Nobody in the world is going to notice beam patterns.

rahhhhh Brian hangover.
Kiss my ass.

[slapinfunk]

if people are gonna blind me with aftermarket HID in the other direction they can live...

rarely drive at night any way...

:(

thats the stupidest shit ive ever heard.

your car doesnt have to be luxury, it just has to be built well. just because you're rolling on a pile of shit balls, doesnt mean I am.. let alone the rest of the asswipes here.

dual h1 FOR THE LOSS. take the US-spec lights, dump the projectors and do a quality HID retrofit. take the highbeams, upgrade them with HIR (only available for US-spec lamps, not H1 platform).

so your car is so beatup it doesnt have a lighting pattern, great.. no one cares. but you know what, if you go ahead and slap an HID kit in it.. its pretty obvious that you do care, and i'll be the first to say that the HID kit wont do shit in favor for giving you a quality lighting pattern, let alone one that converts your RHD flare to a LHD flare.

[Brian]

Why do I want HID?

shit looks cool as fuck and bright.

I'm pretty sure my opinions on these cars are only shared by .0001% of people. They are retards just like me.


Anywho, Mike, the last time I saw you was I think at Sam's grand opening and your car didn't have a dash... I think.
It amused me.

My car sucks
Your car sucks too
All of these cars suck.

And I wish to all god I could afford to have you redo all my lighting.
When I saw omar's I was blown away.

Now, I have to go pack up a RX8 kit.
and I think I need water.

:)

[SilviaSR20DET]

does anyone have zenki glass headlights with drop in hid kit in them? how do they look?

[Brian]

Norm does I'm pretty sure.

[usdm180sx]

Yes, Norm does. He bought them from jrtlighting. But he's actually thinking about calling Mike at clearcorners.com for a better setup.

I dont recommend the setup. Zenki owners have little they can do to get better low/high beam performance. Swap the front end, go with more advanced lighting from the kouki with xenon projector conversion.

[ixfxi]

you're ghetto. dont buy stuff because it looks cool, buy stuff because its bright. but, dont drive with lights that have no control. if thats the case, why not install HID in your high beams and leave those on ALL the time? you'll see, no one else will. you'll cause accidents, thats why.

My car is known for having less stuff in it than an empty tin can. Regardless, do me a favor.. dont.. and I mean DONT.. ever remind me of my s13. I havent driven in it in 2 years now. And dont.. and i mean DONT.. get married if you ever plan on enjoying your car hobby again.


and I wish to all god I could afford to have you redo all my lighting. When I saw omar's I was blown away.

Thanks, and I'm working on re-doing his entire light setup with more modern components. I drove his car 2 weeks ago, its really fun car and the lights look good - they'll look even better when I'm done with version2.

ps: Anyone have any of those mass-made S14 LED lights? I'de love to compare the two side-by-side, maybe snap some images and show how they compete (or how bad they suck).

[Brian]

I'm ghetto as fuck.

I use my car for drifting. How stupid is that?

I don't drive my car anymore, so I won't be causing accidents.
I think at this point I'll drive it one time a month.

But, I'll be getting HID high and low beams.

Yep that's the headlight setup I have and it's also probably the best excuse I've seen so far go kouki

[EDacIouSX]

Theres a thread on 240sxforums, someone retrofitted in some hid projectors into zenki plastic headlights and cutoff was crazy nice. Too lazy to look it up for you guys but its there and projector retrofit into zenki lights is definitely an option.

[SilviaSR20DET]

well i don't see the reason why someone would to swap a kouki front end for just the projectors... personally im planning to keep the zenki front and if i did want to do a swap it would be the S15 lights cause they have a far better projector stock. Anyways, does anyone have a writeup on how to retrofit a HID projector in the Zenki headlights either glass or plastic??

[usdm180sx]

[SilviaSR20DET]

i saw that car before! very nice! hopefully illl be able to do a retrofit like that one....

[ixfxi]

http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c5/ncarpio1/JoeChoS14.jpg

Yep, seen that ages ago. Pretty, but cant say how useable the beam pattern is. Its always best to have a completely transparent lens, as the factory glass effects the lighting pattern.

97-98 headlamps 4theWIN.

[staygold24]

would you recommend fk lenses or supermade with an hid setup?

[vanish1]

97-98 headlamps 4theWIN.

not necessarly.

a clear lense with an OEM HID retrofit would work beautifully in a zenki headlight.

[ixfxi]

not necessarly.

DONT QUESTION ME! haha, jk..

personally, here are my reasons:
- Aftermarket "clear lenses" are flawed products. You eliminate the lighting pattern (both high and low-beam performance is obviously effected). This means you will absolutely need a low-beam projector conversion. Furthermore, a bi-xenon projector since the high beam performance has also been altered. You also have to take into account that the lens is not nearly as high quality as an OEM polycarbonate lens, which would be less prone to cracking, fading and impact resistance. (Of course, lets not mention the stock plastic lenses which yellow, because this is more due to neglect). Add that up, and not only do you have to do a lot of work to get the projectors installed and sealed, but you also have to create a bezel that looks nice.

Personally, I still prefer the looks of 97-98. Not saying 95-96 isnt nice, but its way too bland for my taste. Its nice, but leans on the luxury look like a stock Lexus SC300/400.

All in all, its a heavy amount of work.. when you can just go with a more updated front-end.

If anything, I think the retrofitted glass headlamps are nice, but still.. probably doesnt have a note-worthy lighting pattern.
