Im fed up with my popups and im not gonna waste money on the Garage-13 (same but way more money) ones or a Silvia conversion. Has anybody here bought and installed these? If so , how is the fitment and what lights did you buy to put in them?

I do not like the look of those tiny round lights.

Never mind the arrows.

we bought some for my buddys fd rx7, and they were "ok" . They didnt install quite as easy as the made it out to be and they gave us different lights then the ones in the picture that ended up in us modifying it to fit the lights.

I like the rectangle lights greg has on his Vert, imagine those in the RACEONUSA headlight covers.

And Slappy... why no love for the pop-ups?

Ive only been to a few at Summit and ODS , and that was years ago so prolly not. Can you post pics please? Did you have to drill holes in the housings? Did they come with hardware ect??

No digital camera, but i'll try. Installation/fitment/wiring is not easy and no hardware is provided, but it's worth it if you have some experience, which I believe you do.

One ton racing also makes this type of housing and it cost alot.(to me atleast) I also would like to know about how to install these also. Getting sick of my busted headlight motors and I think this headlight would look alot better

I think an Infiniti QX-4 projector would look pretty sweet with those housings. That would give you a look like the 3rd picture if you added a small round fog lamp in there too.

I'm going to be purchasing those lights for my ride too because the motors went out on my pop ups, plus I guess you can say you save some weight?

Lose some weight, I would say so. The motors have a bit of weight.
