Hi guys. haven't been here in a long time. question for you.

i am trying to get read of my pop-up headlights on my 90 240sx and get a flush mounted kit instead. i was looking for the eastbear and abflug kits but those are impossible to find. i read on a forum that the early 90's 300z headlight kit is a good fit for my car. is that true? do i have to do any kind of modifications to the car OR the light kit to make it fit nicely? also, any suggestions on the right year and where to find them?

thanks a lot for your help

cant get on zilvia right now to check for you... shouldnt be to hard. all i would do is search the marketplace for eastbear or east bear. im sure you can find it.... searching aint that hard. i searched this forum for all those pics cuz i know its been covered a bunch of times.

btw the last 2 i posted are the same car. i think the last one was in the middle of fabbing it, and the other was more of a finished look. personally i think u would have to have the right bumper for it to be pulled off. the widebody one looks decent if u ask me.

I found a set for sale but the guy want $275 (wanted $200 a year ago) and they are pretty damaged. As for the look, I don't have a pic on hand cause my car is in the shop getting a fresh paint job but this is a pic i found online. my car looks almost exactly like it. it has the same front bumper and the Hummer 2 slate blue paint color.

They are just trying to help you out. You know so people dont call you a ricer all the time. I would say if you dont like the flip ups go with something like this or just get a new car.

Granted it its a flip but better looking or S13.4

umm...the z headlight conversion is just about the ugliest thing I have ever seen on a 240.... And with that the body kit on the car you posted is fugly...when I bought my 240 it had that body kit on it...It died a very painful death lol. Do us a favor please and drive your car off a cliff, oh and please be in the car when it goes over j/k just throw that body kit off a cliff. Read the quote in my sig it applies to your car...

doe anybody have anything interesting to say about eastbear headlights or is this just a meeting place for a bunch of idiots who have nothing better to do than crapping on somebody else's ride? THAT was what my original post was about. those are the ones i would really like to find. if anyone has any leads on them, then i will be more than happy to talk to you and i appreciate in advance your input. everyone else. i'm done wasting my time with you.

were not all idiots, we just have one brain between all of us....

not only are these guys based in florida, but they had these kits made to replace the east bear kit....http://enjukuracing.com/circui...=2_92

also, i saw very similar lights on ebay.... just search 240sx lights.

I dont know if you can see my sig, but I really like the flush in the pop-up hole look. its not my car and i couldnt tell you who makes them, but if you find out, please share.

i think this car had 3 hella projector pods built into it. i found these lights only one time for sale on craigslist and the seller wouldnt respond with the manufacturer or any info. heres the broken link from one of yours, goes directly to HELLA lights... (http://www.rallylights.com/hella/Default.aspx)

i know its not what you are looking for exactly, but its close. good luck with your search!
