As many have seen/posted in we recently put up a thread for the Spyder brand Lights for S14's. There have been a few inquiries and posts about the possibility of a S13 Brick aftermarket option and Spyder is more than happy to jump on board given that there is enough interest. They can't say an exact price point but they said they would be very affordable if the project was to move forward.


Post up if you would be down for a set and be sure to share with your friends so we can make this product a reality!!

Very very very interested

[Echelonsilvia]

I am very interested

Thanks guys, spread the word!

[BiG MiKE86]

My bricks are toast! Id be interested if the price was reasonable

[dorkidori_s13]

id be very interested if they can fix the light direction and create proper light channel patterns in the glass instead of the perfectly clear glass!

Names added.

[thefro526]

To be quite honest, I don't think that this is a question that needs to be asked. As long as the quality is reasonably good (OEM/OEM Replacement) and the price is right, I don't see why there would ever be an issue selling these.

With that being said, assuming the quality is there and the price is right* - I'd be in.

(*The price would need to be either the same as a set of OEM bricks in 'good' condition if the quality is spot on, or cheaper if they're of slightly lesser quality.)

[[email protected]]

They requested I post this thread up so they can present it to management to show that the demand is there for this product to be put into production.

Robert

Same here.

[guntop116]

Interested in a set as well. Agree with dorkidori on having a corrected lighting pattern.

[RussellM]

Id venture to say that people would be all over this. I still get calls for bricks, even though they have been discontinued for years.

[90pearlz]

I'm in. I hope this follows through.

[datsr510]

I'm down these look great!

[deriva]

Very interested !!

[Chaluska]

im lighting obsessed...

if they set the headlights for LHD lighting pattern id DEFINITELY be down for a set

That being said.... MOST "spyder" aftermarket headlights go for around 200-300... i wouldnt expect them to price gouge for a set of knockoff brick headlights.. and they better have damn good optics, or its not even worth making.

[Srsil]

I'll take a set

[ebphoto]

ill take a set.

[moowee240]

Ahh finally...Hell to the yea.. I said something to them a long time ago about they needing to make some. I think I even made a post when you were selling the s14.. I hope they do cuz someone needs to put a stop to all the guys charging waaaay too much for piece of sheet originals... ON A CONSTRUCTIVE NOTE..will they be plastic or glass..??

[[email protected]]

They would be plastic I'm assuming.

When they replicate an OEM headlight they completely disassemble it to bare bones parts and then make molds for each part of the light. From there they have their replica.

Regards,
Robert

[dorkidori_s13]

Robert, make sure you jump on them about fixing the light pattern in the glass! i cant stress this enough! id love to run a set when i get my silvia face on my hatch, but theyll be worthless if they use the JDM glass pattern that just creates glare!

[joshchewuhh]

nissans are defiantly the new hondas.

reps this rep that. :down:

[Blues13]

Interested as long as light pattern is corrected for LHD..

[jlopez7354]

nissans are defiantly the new hondas.

reps this rep that. :down:

I'm sorry but not everyone has 600 dollars to spend on a pair of old headlights with broken tabs if you think 240's are the new Hondas maybe you shouldn't be on zilvia.

were repping stuff because buying broke dick shit doesnt cut it anymore! especially since Obama keeps raising the drift tax on things like brick headlights, aero bumpers and kouki lips!

600? are you stupid? with broken tabs they sell for 300. mint ones usually are 400. I got my mint ones for 375 on here

I have silvia projectors ..never had the bricks so I don't know what the issues with them are.. but I would say if they make it crystal clear and smooth without the light dissipating markings that would solve the glare issue.. are they angled also like the projectors for rhd.

[aznsensazian]

Mark me as another user who would love to have these!

[art_thowtho]

Interested

(just keep up the quality... less fading if at all.. and the proper channeling effect as someone mentioned earlier so that the light is more right side USDM biased than pointing at oncomming traffic)

:hitit:

[ghost_silvia]

I doubt most people will care about the light direction as long as they can say that they have bricks! With that being said I'll be a hypocrite and probably buy a pair.

I don't know how much they really go for I drive an s14 but I was assuming because the oem headlights I want go for that much. Don't really care I was checking out the post because my friend was looking for some anyways have fun with your lights.

[dnomyar]

Interested if they some how improve the lighting.

[dorkidori_s13]

I have silvia projectors ..never had the bricks so I don't know what the issues with them are.. but I would say if they make it crystal clear and smooth without the light dissipating markings that would solve the glare issue.. are they angled also like the projectors for rhd.

the light dissipating marks are meant to divert light in specific directions and create a concentrated pattern. in modern day cars, those patterns are built into the lamp unit using the base and light caps to create said functionality. with the "bricks", not having those lines pointing in the correct direction plus moving the light plates in the back of the light to try and accomodate for LHD roads creates all the glare. if the glass pattern were pointed in the CORRECT direction, the halogens would work as well as GOOD sealed beams do. i have ZERO issues with my sealed beams in my flippies, why? because i dont run ebay crap and actually buy silverstar based headlights. if the glass were corrected and mated with a GOOD H4 bulb, you should have awesome visibility!

[Ruff Ryder 6]

add me to the list pending all the previous suggestions

[swanns13]

Put me down for a set.

[s14kkouki]

I'm down for a set.:wackit:

[86is300]

id be down depending on price

[EDacIouSX]

there's so much bank to be made for s13 silvia lights as an aftermarket option. Even japan would rock em if they looked halfway decent.

[S13MATT]

I would be so down for a set of these! Im scared to ruin my mint condition set that I paid $400 for. Fixing the light pattern would be a huge plus.

[[email protected]]

Initial post updated!

Regards,
Robert

[silvia1993]

Sign me up for a set or two...

[andy107]

I'm interested! Hit me up! Hopefully these are made in decent quality. tho I might expect them to fog up on rainy days. great for those who drift their 240's and don't want to bash up factory ones. I'll keep my mint set in a box.

[blackmags91]

this tickles my fancy

[Luvs2slide]

You get what you pay for.

[Chaluska]

I may be speaking for myself, but i think a 1 piece headlight/corner combo would probably be even better than just brick replicas. (although not sure how it would bolt to the chassis. might be wishful thinking)

if a real enthusiast wants bricks, let them buy a OEM pair... lets get something made that will look good, and perform good.

[wowitsaboy]

put me down for a set.. looking forward to them

[aph10]

definitely interested in a set so put me down...

[[email protected]]

List updated! Thanks for the feedback guys!

Regards,
Robert

[S14_kouki504]

hopefully they make these better than the kouki headlights they make. I have a set of kouki headlights from Spyder and they are crap..... They are not pnp and when i got them the passenger side reflector was broken so i couldnt aim the passenger side headlight. All i was offered was a partial refund.

[sydwayzSil80]

Definitely interested!

[wowitsaboy]

am I the only one who would want them to look like these?http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk178/futuretec/TRA-Kyoto/NIssanSilviaS13PS13TRA-KyotoFron-1.png

[dorkidori_s13]

no thank you, OEM style will do fine...just fix the lamps/lines to work for LHD thanks!!!

[Chaluska]

no thank you, OEM style will do fine...just fix the lamps/lines to work for LHD thanks!!!

i feel the same way really... if they looked the same, but shined properly, it would be badass. (price definitely has something to do with it too)

they better not expect to get legit bricks pricing for aftermarket...

if they do try charging upwards of $400 for a set of headlights, the output had better be better than Cibie H6054 housings, and come with IPF halogen bulbs. H4 low/high on outer bulb housing, and H1 high beam inner lamp.

[Lugged]

like what big mike said, Count me down if the pricing is reasonable

Any word if the project is getting green lit?

[[email protected]]

Request sent for update.

Regards,
Robert

[ZBuller80]

If they are DOT approved then put me down for a set, It would be nice to not get hassled for once about having "non-compliant" lighting

[unwtdhero]

Take my money!

[bataangpinoy]

bring us bricks plz

[Chaluska]

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8377/8566961920_1da3176d79_o.jpg

a clear bricks headlight with freeform reflectors looks pretty damn good imo.

anything that will be a silvia bolt on headlight that has good light output is the # 1 concern..

[wowitsaboy]

how are these ^ different from the rocketbunny/supermade lights I posted earlier.

.. agreed

[Chaluska]

becuase with supermade lenses on brick housings, it will look like this...

http://www.2-up.com.au/img/p/24-101-thickbox.jpg


notice there are NO sort of light displacement built into the reflectors like the black car i posted.

secondly, Supermade and rocket bunny are not related.

Rocket bunny is a body kit made by 6666 Customs (TRA Kyoto) and is copied by "quad six"

Supermade manufactures one of the ugliest body kits on earth. the "instant gentleman" and a bunch of other tid-bits. but not the rocketbunny kit.

Back on topic ::::::::


OP, any update ;)?

[Juantwo3]

interested!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chaluska]

i think for authenticity, keeping a "as close to stock" look as possible is the best bet. as long as the output is badass.

[driftminds13]

Id be interested for sure! If they look like stocks or like the ones on that black hatch posted a few posts ago ^^ Im down 100%!

thanks for clearing that up, i guess i could not see the difference between clear lenses on factory bricks and the "freeform reflector" lights you posted. I am aware that supermade and TRA are different companies. only used them together for similarity and reference.

[Chaluska]

bump for interest

Just sent them an email to see if they were going to move forward with this.

If there is enough interest they will make anything. As long as there is a demand and they can see it anything is possible.

[wowitsaboy]

Two bad this isn't gonna happen, I'm sure they would have made a small fortune.

[[email protected]]

Did this ever go through. Super disappointed if it didn’t.... they’re fools for not making them. Everyone wants these damn headlights.
