I was wondering if anyone had a chance to get some specs on the actual JDM S13 headlights, 2 and 3 projector style to be exact. I'm most interested in the follwoing (Main Light) :

Actual size of the projector housing and its dimensions.
Width and Heights of the actual glass lens? depth of the actual projector
within the headlights? and what type bulb is used for main driving light? (Low Beam)

Also if someone in SoCal may have a set laying around that i could have a look at and take few measurements i'd very much appreciate it.

anyone down to help?

i'm collection information so that i can fabricate a better projector which will still utilize a stock projector just slightly modified. Due to the size of the headlight, it would be very difficult to install another OEM projector that is found on newer vehicles.. of course it is possible but the housing will have to be modified on the outside, which in the end i'm sure will be more functional and give better results but final product will not look as OEM as what i had in mind.

Nobody has a front end conversion on this board? Come on guys.. someone has got to even have headlights just laying around.. just a quick measurement from the outside will work on the side of the glass projector eye.. Thanks all

whats up, to be honest with you i had duals in mind to be exact. Since mine is an 89 model anyways. If you can please, please just estimate on the outside as good as you can. The low beam projector to be exact, its height and width. And possibly the surrounding area of that projector.

And also, say you're looking at the driver side headlight and its in front of you, looking at the low beam projector the distance inside the headlight from the right side endge to the high beam projector's right side. Reason i'm asking this is the followig. I'm either going to attempt to fabricate another lense on the exisiting projector or try to install a whole other projector and modify the rear of the housing to accomodate. I will write a set by set process so other can follow if they are interested. I'm doing this only because i like to have good lighting on my car and do not really want just slap on an HID kit in a set of halogens that arent meant for that, which will still yield better coverage then stock but not nearly what i had in mind. You input would be highly appreicated. Many thanks in advance.
