my plans are to use my qx4 oval projectors in my s14 zenki and put on some super made clear covers. also I'm either going to black out the reflectors in the back or go body color not sure yet (thanks dickie for reminding me of that) here is my progress so far.

this is what it should look like (just one side) i used a led light so its not very acuarte on the out put

ill keep everyone posted on the out come of this... I'm still waiting on my clear lenses to show up and then i have to get a 9005 HID kit

i did some photoshop work on the black or body color housing for those that wanted to see what it would look like. I'm no photoshop pro but you get the picture

black

body color white

95% sure I'm going with the black housing white just looks funny

yeah i bet they would look nice on a s13. these are very easy to find just search for 00-03 infiniti qx4 HID or halogen i checked part numbers at infiniti and they are the exact same on both

Nice project. Make sure you paint one housing black and one white so I can see which one I like better since I have a white zenki too.

yeah i was thinking of painting one black and one white just to see what one i like better. i know the black will be much cheaper to paint than the factory pearl white but i want it to look good so that doesn't matter to much to me

Way to go Andy!!

S14tan, you are by far the most helpful NICO member I've come across when it comes to simple "newbish" questions. Thanks for understanding that everyone has to start somewhere. Thanks for the help man.

i might start doing retrofit for other people if i get enough interest in it. i have all the tools to do it right and i have a hook up on clear covers from super made.

i got a lot of projects going all at once. headlights, brakes, body parts, and KA-T build and I'm always searching for some new cool thing to do or buy for the car

the only reason I'm not liking chrome is cause with clear covers you can see all my work behind it. if it was all black then it would be harder to see and i think would look much better. as for the pearl (body color) i don't think it would look right, i think the angles are just not right for the look. I'm my opinion the body color has to flow with the car and not be concave like the traditional headlight. look at a new corvette or anything else that has body color housings. most have projectors and the colored part is rounded to the shape of the car... i just don't see that happening in the 240

i think what I'm going to do is black out the reflector and paint the trim like i photoshoped in the OP. also i think I'm going to remove the projector lens and paint the outside of the projector housing black and the shroud as well... i have some time on my hands tomorrow and Sunday so i should get some things done on this

My friend just sold me his set of H lites w/HIDs but not projectors.... 50 bux couldn't pass it up but i still wanna do the retrofit sometime.

Check Got_Chub's sig for a link to some clear lenses he is selling.

i think I'm going to just leave mine all silver just to hide everything better. i think the black behind the projector would make it to noticeable but I'm going to paint the sides of the housing black
