I was looking for lights that can possibly be an alternative to the s14's kouki lights cause the koukis cost like bombs and replacements are hard to find.

The closest i can think of is the 97 honda accord lights which look like this.

Do you think it can retro fit on a s14 front body panels with a bit of fiber work? Here is a pic of the s14 kouki front for reference

I dont know, what do u think guys?

I think that "style" of headlamp is nice and would definitely compliment our Zenki's. However, would I ever put a Honda part on my Nissan? Eesh, I felt bad putting '98 side-skirts and tail-lamps on my '96! Hahaha ... well, to each their own as I've seen many 'custom' installs; some fail and some succeed ... it's all in the eyes of the beholder. Hey, what would the automotive world be without true customizing? Ooo, a very-very-bad place.

so. first of all, everyone's right so far... accord lights on 240sx=blasphemy.

the good new is there are already alternatives. thanks to the wonderful world of ebay and the trend of aftermarket copies out there, you're in luck.

" TARGET="_blank">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...a63 pretty affordable if you ask me. even though they are knock offs, at least they fit the car. ya know... just my two pennies.

saving up and doing it right is the proper alternative, though.

Hehehe ... so I was about to start bashing because the link was not for Zenki's but Honda's (only then realizing it was for Kouki's) ... AND then I realized this THREAD was for KOUKI's . But then I reread my answer and figured it still hold's water as is. Man, getting old's a BEEEO****
