you are going to need to get a s15 core support or a s14 one (which requires very minor cutting). when you buy the new headlights ask the seller if they have the brackets that come with them..

yea everything is on ....the only problem i had was making the top of the s13 bracket hole (2 of em) a little bigger so i could move the bracket in towardsthe engine.. about 1 inch so the hood and fenders could line up...also i drilled a HORIZONTAL line (1/4 inch or something) in the s15 hadlight brackets that came with the light so i can adjust them.. couse the s13 brackets come with a little vertical hole .. and just lined everything up

and dont buy vis or gtp s13-s15 fenders couse they are gay.. spent alot of money to make em fit and there are still gaps
BLAH "bolt on huh" my a$$

and also the core support i drilled out the hole that held the old lights in place made it HIGHER ....mm the the holes that are right in front of the strut tower on the core support... i did this to move the s15's in a little..so they could line up with the gay a$$ VIS fenders...

yea i tought you should be able to do it with a s13 too.. thats the big prob with the s14 core.. everyone thinks they need the s15 core support but once you cut out holes for the back of the lights you just have some minor drilling and what not..

SWAAT makes s13-s15 light brackets that facilitate assembly w/o getting the s14/15 core support.

If everything goes as planned, I should be able to tell you guys exactly how well they work in a few weeks.

i would just get the s13 brackets,,, borrow my friends drill and WA LA! couse i know the s13-s15 are gonna be pricey.. u can come buy some s13 brackets on ebay for around 50$$ thats were i got mine.. and speaking of ebay im gonna go bid on a digital camera so i can take pics for u... GO EBAY! :wiggle:

yea i have a s14 though.. its in the shop getting sprayed and a few other things.. oh and interior work done.. its a nice gun metal color.. hopefully it will be done 2 weeks from now.. im trying to get some pics taken while its being finished.. i need some pics of my car that are recent because the ones on my site are ones i had to find on the internet that are from the week i got the car and first couple of mods and the other is when i frist started doing the conversion the first time.. i had a s15 front on before and i sold it to make the car stock to bring it to new york.. but then i never brought the car up so i reordered new (and better) parts that will survive in the city.. such as stock bumper with lip instead of a fiberglass bumber.. and better fenders.. masa.. i went down to put on the fenders and hood like 8 months ago when they came in along with the lights that never showed up. the lights came about 2 months ago and its been in the shop ever since.. i had various other parts i had ordered here and had sitting in my apartment, so i shipped thouse down when i went but i didnt have enough time and help to get it all done.. pretty much a total redo of the car.. i try and keep it up to date with the newest products.. but i am dying to see it myself.. and plan to fly down when its done to cruise it to flordia then back to new york.. im really really stuck on my 240... i miss it everyday.. i rent cars all the time.. bmw, maxima, altima.. not the same
