for true awesome headlight for pop up s13,
use stock nsx headlight.
1. they can be found easily due to nsx going kouki non pop up conversion.
2. they are DOT approved
3. they are more aerodynamic when the lights are up.

just like mike said anything egay is crap and ricey.

OEM is better because OEM works, part for part, generally speaking. However, what you posted was not a completely finished headlight that one can purchase. You posted a shopping list of aftermarket components which, with the proper skill and sufficient time, one can create a headlight similar to the aforementioned. The problem with this is that obviously, based on the appearance and build quality of the majority of cars in this community, that building things is beyond the scope of most individuals here. With that said, building a proper headlight assembly, let alone a xenon headlight assembly... is probably asking too much from a mere 240SX owner.


There is a fine line between what is legal and what is not. Being that we're in the US, technically speaking we must all run DOT compliant headlights. I'm not an advocate who believes that DOT compliant headlights are the only headlights in existence that should be run in this country. There are plenty of high quality e-code headlights that work just as fine. Although running an e-code headlight is illegal, at least if you run a quality (ie: hella or cibie) headlight you're still using a quality headlight built by reputable companies (and by reputable, I mean reputable worldwide).

Now you step into FX-R DDE McCulloch TSXR blah blah.. thats all modern-day tomfoolery. Maybe it works, maybe it doesnt, maybe its good, maybe its not.. fuck that. I dont waste my time nor do I risk me or others with cheap shit. I have a very low fucking tolerance for cheap shit, period. These types of products are not compliant in this country or in any country with civilized lighting standards.


I have several pairs of those headlights. The funny thing is, there is no real way to install them in an S13 without butchering the radiator core support. The NSX headlights are very wide and very long, I'de be surprised to see how that white car is securing them in there. I bet its been hacked and no longer moves up and down like stock


Make the switch to the Cibies and you'll be even more impressed. I've had a few customers very upset with the Hellas which is funny to me, because they're fair.. but their high beams are not too good. The Cibie is fantastic, high and low, super fantastic.

I was laughing when dave told me you picked up an SC... I still have one. Lighting was one of the worst features of the car. Was.

I do not doubt that. Few who read my first post are going to understand how to do a retrofit properly. It takes a lot of skill, knowledge, and practice. However, those truly interested would do further research and figure that out for themselves using the resources available on other internet sites (There is obviously very little accurate information about this subject here given many of the responses to the original post). Hopefully the information I posted was at least a starting point for them. There are also professional and hobbyist retrofitters like myself who can be contacted for their services to get the job done right.

Didn't you just buy those Hella E-codes?

On another note, what's the difference between the Cibies and the Hellas? I think the Cibies are plastic, correct? But what makes them superior over the Hellas?

True, the owner of that car has stated publicly that the lights don't retract anymore. The conversion looks sweet but you do have to hack your shit to pieces to make it work. If you are a fan of the "sleepy eye" look then it's fine but otherwise it sucks.

Recently got my Cibies and some Osram Nightbreaker bulbs. Can't complain. Great cutoff and output
For bulbs, I would say Osrams, Philips Xtreme Powers, or some Narvas.

My quote was more about nismoracingsx thinking headlights were trivial. One of the most stupid things I've heard on here in a while.

This is the best bulb for H4 housing. It's what I have.
<b>Philips <font color="red">Xtreme Power</font> 9003 60/55W / H4 / HB2</b> (TWO-PACK)

Raybrig is plastic, not glass like Cibie and Hella.

Damn, NSX headlights look good!!! I think you need to chop the rods to control the popup height.

I prefer glass over clear plastic. Anyway, when I searched, there's one eBay seller from Japan was selling the Raybrig headlights fairly cheap.

LOL, i wondered if anyone on here ever seen my thread on HIDplanet.com

that retrofit was extremely easy to do, and didnt take long.. and now my lights overpower practically every other car out there..

i have a garage full of H6054 conversion housings.. Cibie Gen 2, gen 1, hella, and like 5 sets of the crappy sylvania h6054

HID projectors destroy all H4 housings. period.

cibies and hellas are garbage in comparisson.

shiftdrift

SO, let me ask again, what is a good bulb to get for hella h4 housings? they came on the car and i don't feel like buying new housings, just bulbs. not looking for the most jdm awesomesauce lights, just good ones.
