headlights

[xeroxed]

how hard would it be to make a headlight conversion to 90-96 300zx headlights? Im trying to make my own flush non-pop ups what would the best options be? thanks

It would probably be very hard, because the 300zx is wider iirc. Anyways, if your pocket is deep enough anything is possible. But good luck and let us know what you end up doing.

Found this on NICO a while back. Don't ask me why he didnt use the garage. The conversion look wierd to me though. The lights are too wide for the car.

Well first off, you asked if they could fit 90-96. That's 2 different stories - one is an s13 and one's an s14.

To fit them on the s13 you need to get an aftermarket bumper and you need to cut your hood. The 300zx lights aren't that great because they have a slight downward slant to them (they suck at night, plainly put).

I think he meant 90-96 300ZX, not into a 90-96 240. And he mentioned he wanted to make his own non-pop-ups . So that means he is talking about the S13

your right i dont think it looks right
im seeing a 300zx front bumper there. that would be a shit load of work making all the body lins to mach up too much work unless you own your own shop or atleast work at one thats not a driveway project

BTW &nbsp;the owner of that car must of had fun getting the car back in the garage it seems to be in a hill &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'> i give him 2 thumbs up

yes i was talking about 90-96 300zx lights i have a s13 89 coupe. any suggestions on making my own....thinking of finding regular headlights that would fit in there with minimal modification and putting like a plexi glas cover over them...any ideas on the headlights?

EDIT: What about rx-7 lights?

[240Dori]

I say if you are gonna do any kind of headlight conversion just get the silvia front end...its rare, looks badass, and is all simple to install cause its made for it. &nbsp;But then agian its your car so at the end of the day you make the choice...just a side comment, the lights on that s13 and the front end make it kind of look like the front of an FTO but there is somthing off about the whole operation, maybe its the snow. Peace.

There are kits that replace the headlights just so you know. I am not too sure on what company makes kits. But there are quite a few different ones. I always forget the name for somereason.

[KiDyNomiTe]

There is a company called East-Bar that does it.

yes im aware that eastbear makes them but its not the style i want, i want more like the 300zx ones, and i dont want them to cost $1800 :\

You may be talking about the headlights pictured on the Veilside CIII S13. Here's a picture of it, see what you think. And before you get your hopes up, they discontinued the headlight conversion. Wish I could find these though as they are too sweet.

a year and 9 days later, i think he figured out what he wanted:rolleyes:

[DaveSev]

No, it's just you guys that didn't understand what he wanted....I could tell from the first post that he wanted to change his headlights to look like the Z's, but he didn't want a full front-end conversion.....He just wants that "style" of a light.

I highly doubt this guys has been sitting around for the past YEAR AND 9 DAYS, for a reply to this thread.

My friend who is in the marines, actually did his own project like that, and they turned out real nice. Give me sometime to ask him(he's stationed in japan agian, but car is in cali) and then i'll see if he has somekind of write up or if he can write one up for you. If not i'll just ask him to E-mail you and you guys can talk
