CAn you buy these?

[dfw240_EE]

I personally would favor a circular lamp.

[babowc]

I like these myself

wow...i would rock those without a question



looks pretty simple to make.. 700$ sounds a bit lucrative..gonna see what i can do.. those look so nice..

[Dattebayo]

The circular lamps are usually just adapted fog lamps, I.E. they suck and are not DOT approved for a very good reason. You cannot see at night whatsoever with them. Ask around, there are hundereds of members who have been warned like you!

[Sky240PWR]

If it were me, I'd just make a custom one and use a round light from another car that's DOT approved, like the integra, or even better, the ones inside the one piece silvia headlights!!

[dfw240_EE]

Yeah, I am sure you can find a DOT circular lamp somewhere. Enough vehicles have that style of lamp from factory, so someone must make them.

[Kenrik]

They sell circular lap kits on ebay looks like it is just a black cover that goes over the stock lights so only a circle of light gets out... (stupid)

[babowc]

which one are we talkinga bout?the one i posted? or the 300zx lights?

[Accord-240sx]

has anyone ever done a 300z headlight conversion on a s13?

[ShortyS14]

What about customizing some RX-7 lights to fit. I don't know what all it would take as far as wiring, but it looks like you could fab a housing and attain the look everybody's talking about. These are the lights I'm talking about.

[babowc]

i'd be willing to try this with fiberglass if i had a spare headlight area to work on.. haha >_<

[dfw240_EE]

Yeah, just steal the lamps from the RX-7, Integra, 3000GT, whatever.

['90_240sx_Lover]

I like my pop-up lights. My fender has that gap too, although i did run into our shop . . . (don't ask)

[babowc]

or you can always go to the junk yard.....

[hannibal]

has anyone ever done a 300z headlight conversion on a s13?

Someone on here did. He said it was more of a hassle than he expected and he wouldnt do it again.

Those Ab Flug lights look great. Since when is looking like a Z32 a bad thing? I do like the lights shorty posed too. I also like st33f's sleepy eyed project lights. I think all of these would look better with a round projector like you guys said.

[Sky240PWR]

ok here is a pic of a e-bay round light conversion, not sure but I think it was selling for $300-350!

[dfw240_EE]

Well, didn't mean steal-steal of course. Sorry, whenever I talk about borrowing a part from one car for another car I sometimes use the word stealing as a euphamism.

[babowc]

:P.. but those e-bay roundlight conversions looks nice..

i was wondering.. what kind of plastic? or glass? would they use for the headlight clear part??fiberglass could be used for the housing itself right?i know the temperatures reach real high inside those things... just wondering though, mebee make my own.. it wouldnt be DOT approved though, :/

[Chingon]

I know someone was making replicas of them @ freshalloy. Something around 450 or so:

[adrianfromthecastle]

hey... whats wrong with the flippies.. i rock old school..but anyways.. i do know one things for sure.. i dont see any 13s with them on US streets. the things are pretty unique. you should check out that jdm 180sx picture book/mag full of jdm ideas, some good looking, some not.. ive seen those on a lot of 180s in that book.

[Dattebayo]

All you e-bay freaks are gay. Stop buying crap and putting it on our 240sx's. Either that or go but a Honda and ruin it. You get what you pay for.

FYI:They have round light conversions available from EastBear that are wothwhile, IMO, but you will have to hunt around for DOT lights when it comes time for inspection.

[Sky240PWR]

hope you're not talking to me!!, I did post a pic from e-bay but i've never bought anything from there!!........OK mario

are you talking about these lights??...I really like them!!

I would think plexiglass maybe? Good question on the heat properties though. I know they use the stuff on aircraft windows, and air friction actually causes a good bit of heating, but certainly not that much.

As for DOT lights I would say 3000GT or Integra lamps would be best, whoever has the most compact units.

[BaliLover]

Anyone know what lip is on that car?

[babowc]

hmm.. i have a bunch of plexiglass readily avail in my backyard/garage.. thickness would be basically around what the stock lights are, i suppose?hmmm.. im gonna go see what i can make out :Pgonna take me forever anyways.. il post when its done

[Chingon]

most of these go w/lexan as far as I know..

Put a blowtorch to it, see if it melts. Just watch out for fumes

PS I am being sarcastic, please do not really do this!

[Dattebayo]

I just did a test fit (sorry, no pics) of the silvia square lights in a friends USDM 240sx and they look like with a little cutting will fit fine the way you want to. They are in fact NOT too big. I am convinced that is what the previous manufacturer did to get the style you want.

If you read the thread more carefully, you would realize it was my idea first. Go back to the first page...
