s13 clear front headlight covers - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have searched and searched, have heard that they are on Yahoo! auctions, but have been unable to find.

Anyone have a link already saved? Or anyone know someone who can make these?

thanks much in advance!

I don't know where you can buy them but i think www.g-corporation.co.jp makes them.

z0iid · 11-18-2004, 08:05 AM

thank you thank you....now just a question of how do I purchase them....hmmm

the head · 11-18-2004, 08:18 AM

get in touch with www.raretrick.com or www.jspec.com i am sure one of the two can get them for ya iirc raretrick carries some g corp stuff

z0iid · 11-18-2004, 12:48 PM

damn....$320 for a peice of plastic....err, 2 peices of plastic.

i dunno...i might try to make my own...before i drop that kinda cash on cosmetic improvement (although I actually want to do it because the s13 headlights SUCK partly because of the covers)

z0iid · 11-18-2004, 01:38 PM

i guess this might be considered a poll, but i would like your opinions.

What if I remove the glass cover, and put peices of plastic infront of each of the four halogen lightsets. I could use silicone to seal them, and or screws on each corner into the headlight casing....will it look too much like the late 80's early 90's camaro's....?

it won't end up being flush with the corner light, the hood, or the center peice....

I guess i can just take off the glass peice and see how that looks...

Just teasing you, don't get offended.

Merry Christmas, much cheaper than $300...

I'm sure its easier to do when you know Japanese :P

At first I thought you were talking about the corners... I was totally confused... lol

derux · 11-18-2004, 02:40 PM

i would think putting these on you would loose the beam pattern and just have a set of spotlights on the car. I know it looks nice but what does it do to the pattern

MeltedMonitor · 11-18-2004, 06:22 PM

Good point... plus you would get leakage in there and they would get fogged up and not last long etc, but they sure look damn good!

sr_sil80 · 11-18-2004, 06:56 PM

Isn't the pattern of the original s13 headlights thrown off anyways because they are intended to be on a rhd car?

Inland180 · 11-18-2004, 06:57 PM

Very NICE!!!

That's why you use sealant when you install them...

kazuo · 11-18-2004, 08:30 PM

My only concern with using these, as derux brought up, is what happens to the beam pattern.

Perhaps Mamos would care to comment? :P

They DO look good though.. and as meph pointed out, no problems with leaks and fogging as long as you seal it properly.
