I'm looking for some clear or projector headlights for my 1995 240sx. Does anyone have links to web-sites that sell these?

Thanks.

sorry to tell you but there are no projectors available for zenkis... There are clear plastic covers that you can get from japan but will cost you ALOT of money... There was a massive thread on this once... I dont think the group buy ever went. Other option would be to get zenki headlights from Europe which are made with glass (no shi**y yello crap) but will cost you $$$$$$$

no projectors that you can just go out and buy.. OBX was supposed to come out with some last year but there is no word form them..

you will have to retro fit some yourself! I tried to do that but I ended up selling the projectors because I have no time at the moment...

but I might try again next year...

I put some LED's in my tail light and I will try to convers my rear tail lights to full LED sometime next year...

at a fraction of the clearcorner cost!

Didn't think they there was projectors but figured I would try.I guess if really want projectors I will have to do a retro fit. I did look into the european headlights but could only find one place that sold them.

Euro Zenki lights look great on the car. It's the way our USDM 240's should have came stock. If I had a Zenki, I'd dish out the money for them.

I was wondering how much better the euro lights really looked, and... I'm speechless.

courtesyparts is the only place I could find that sold the euro headlights. Since I have to buy new headlights (mine are cracked) I'm really considering buying those. Does anyone know if the euro headlights are a direct replacement or does any work have to be done to get them to fit?

As far as I know they are plug and play. My friend jeff had problems with his but that was because he was using hid.

Hey, I see the pic now. I really don't like those. Is the inside of the lit section painted white? The pic looks like the lenses that there used to be a group buy on a long time ago. They were made by systemqs.com, but ever since they remodeled their site, I can't find them anymore.

sorry about that group buy fall through on systemq guys. i really wanted to get a set of the lenses. Slide240 where'd you get that picture i've never seen those headlights, they'd look nice if the white on them was black or c/f. Could be a stupid question is that something custom made?

Would it be cheaper to go with a Kouki headlight conversion and get S2K or E36 BMW projectors?

i was gonna do it but i mess up with opening the damn light. this link is helpful.

http://faq.auto.light.tripod.c...s.htm

i was planning on putting hella projectors for the low beam or even hid. cause i've seen a 95 240sx with a retrofit hid. it looks good, but if you can put a clear lense much better. but the hard part and labor is sanding the inside lense

hopefully this inspire some and try to convince me to do a project like this again. or send me some headlights for practice...

Ouch, they're yours??? Kinda biteing my tongue now. They look good, and I respect that, but the white just isn't for me. So how'd you clear up the inside of the lense? Was it hard to fit the projector?

I painted them white just to match the color of the car. I just bought the lenses from somone selling them on Ebay. They are from Final Konnexion. I was interested in that group buy from System Q's but it never seemed to move over 12 people in the group buy. There is about a total of a centimeter left in room vertically with the prjector in there. Anyone interested in getting projectors retrofitted in their lights, just let me know.

Wishing you all the best,Los

That would be like fog lights in your housing and you will not get the same cutoff line as a real projector. Even though it is a cheaper alternative, its nothing close to it.

What I was really thinking is how cool it'd look to have halo headlights in around that projector. Maybe get a good projector, and these ebay ones and mix and match them together.
