I bought some used tripples off of ebay and all seemed weel when they came but when i went to put the lights in them i ran into issues. For what i believe is the fog light side the two headlights have different housings.

One side looks like this

wich i believe is correct because the bulb i bought for it fits fine. Heres the bulb

But on the other headlight it has a housing similar to the other two beams. it looks like this

Ive tried looking for just that housing but i cant find it and im not really sure what its even called to search for it. If anyone could tell me if its even a part thats you can order and if it is where to order it it would be highly appreciated.

Thanks you,
Will

Dont know anything about the buying a new housing. But the bulbs you need are either H3 not H1, or you need a H3c. The H3c bulbs are harder to find you will nedd to order them online. You wont find them at auto zone or pep boys.

Just looking at the housing it looks like it needs a H3c bulb which were common in the Dual projectors. Someone might of swapped the dual housing into a triple projector.

Looks like the previous owner swapped them out, look in junkyards for headlights using H3and snag a bracket. But then again that holddown looks pretty damn original. I'd just drill a bigger hole out and make a clip to hold an H3 bulb down.
The Silvia headlights I've had have only used h3 or h3c. H3's fit into h3c and they're easier to find expect you have to hook up a ground a little differently (I plug it into the same clip used to hold it down). Good Luck

Thats a really good idea, Ill just drill it out and get some H3 or H3C's. Thanks a lot that idea never crossed my mind.

correct me if im wrong, you bought them from ebay? they may be from different cars (meaning, one headlamp was on a different silvia from the other) also that second pic looks like it's a retainer for a DR2 HID bulb? i may be totally wrong but thats what it looks like
