You can do the R32 projector headlamp conversion or get the clear covers for your 240SX headlamps.

So yes, they do exist.

These are the JDM headlamps (plastic/same as the US model 240SX besides the interior housing is 2 parts and not one parts like the US model) and the clear covers both I got shipped from Japan. If you get the clear covers they can be used also on the US models, however, it will be a tight fitment.

The fender and hood is not needed. The only mod you will need to do is to alter the supports for the R32 headlamps to fit on a US 24SX (95-96).

The company who produces this item doesn't have a site yet. You can only special order them from japan...too expensive..trust me. Better off doing the black housing Skyline R32 projector headlamp converison.

BTW the H2Fparts.com site is under construction. That's my new website that should be up and running soon.

It's do-able using the stock bumper, hood, fenders, however the R32 headlamps will need to be modded. In other words you will need to convert the support brackets of the headlamps to match those of your 240SX headlamps in order to fit correctly. Here are pics of metal brackets attached to the R32 projectors:

interesting....
will the headlight bulb connectors work w/ the skyline headlight assembly? or would you need to do custom wiring?
r32 lights are projector lights right?, would you need different lighting(hid? bulbs? etc?)

Those things dont have the lenses tough... The beam pattern will be unfocused!

I'll try vaccuum form some clear ones, and find some sort of self contain projector.

You will need to do custom wiring since the bubls are different from the US model 240SX. I'd say start looking for a good HID kit IMO. You can still use bulbs, but HID look better when you have projectors.

There really isn't a website up for doing the clear headlamp conversion (my white car) at this time. In regards to getting it shipped from Japan, either you have to know someone there or go through someone who has access.

Yes, there is no beam pattern, however it's not bad at all. I will post pics form inside my car tonight with the beam pattern to show those what it will look like.

Here are 2 pics from inside my car with the clear headlamp housings. As you can see the beam pattern isn't clean and you end up with 2 X beams. On the road, the pattern is ok, but as you can see in the first pic you get that X shadow which is the shadow from the beam reflector inside the headlamp housing. I hope this helps.
