As title states. Tri-projectors in very good condition. As you can see in the picture one of the grille-mounting tabs is broken off the passenger side light, but this does not affect the mounting of the light to the car or the security of the grille when attached (I always used zipties - I've used the stock Silvia grille and a GTR-style grille, both with no issue). The piece will be included if you want to try to re-attach it but I never missed it.

I have ghetto-rigged the low-beam projectors to emit a LHD beam pattern by modifying the shields inside the projectors. I do NOT have pictures of this and I am not willing to take the lights apart to get any at this time. I drove with the lights this way for several months, and was never flashed by oncoming traffic. I will say that the stock H1 bulbs still suck in terms of light output; I explored the option of drop-in HIDs but never ended up pursuing it.

As you can see, the glass is in excellent shape, and the housings are as well with the exception of the aforementioned cracked-off grille tab. All of the light-to-car mounts are in perfect shape. The wiring and bulbs are included for the low and high beams but not for the fogs. You can use H3 bulbs there, in place of the H3C that's intended, and you'd need to re-wire them for that anyway. Very simple, search this forum for details. All of the rubber bulb-sealing boots and trim rings are intact and in good shape, and the adjusters all work fine.

I'll let the pics do the rest of the explaining. I'd keep these as spares but I can use the cash; I'm only selling because I wanted to go a different route for a while, and am switching to dual-projectors. I'm asking $165 shipped OBO in the lower 48 states. Please PM if interested; they are already boxed and ready to go.

Just so things are clear, technically these lights are not DOT-approved for road use in the USA, so "for show or off-road use only," no returns, etc. :D

EDIT: Wanted to add this picture to show the beam pattern. The RIGHT SIDE headlight is the one you should look at. You can see the pattern goes up and to the right, as it should for a LHD car. The left side light is an H7 projector I was fooling with, and is NOT for sale.
