Im really trying hard to find the best way to convert my 95 zenki to a 97-98 kouki.
I found these headlights for the cheap, what do you think? Should I stay away?

I personally don't think they look very good and prefer oem lights but I know I'm in the minority.
As for the conversion I'd also recommend for you to stay oem, nothing fits better nor is more durable.

Rare? You mean you're too cheap to buy them brand new from the dealer?

lol, try some of the forum vendors that sell oem parts. Or even ebay, they're all over the place.

I'm with you on this one. OEM lights are the way to go whenever possible. IMO your light housings don't need to be modified. LED's fine, HID's fine, clear corners and shit = tacky ricer status...

You're kidding right?!
Do it right the first time and be done with it. If you can't afford it then save up until you can afford it.

I just bought the second to last drivers side fender in the Nissan Dealer's circulation.
The best way is all oem. The only part I could find used was a bumper. Everything else was brand new from my local dealership minus the headlights which I got from West Covina. Those headlights aren't bad compared to zenki crap ones, but the kouki projectors and glass covers are just incomparable.
