I was at my friends work and was looking at the foglights they were selling. Would it be possible to get two sets of small circle fog lights and make custom headlights using two on each headlight assembly on a 91? How hard would wiring be for something like this?

I've seen pictures of them done before. They look pretty cool, but do you really want to do it? I would imagine the beam pattern be all wrong for normal driving. I dont think the wiring would be so hard. Thats just my opinion though :P

I'm thinking about doing it, the main reason is right now my headlights suck real bad, I can hardly see anything unless I drive with my high beams on

I hear ya on stock sealed beams, THEY SUCK!!! I was thinking about either the H4 conversition or going to the 4 round hella lights(which looks awesome). Anyone ever made the custom brackets for the 4 hella setup or know where you can buy one?

Something like this is what I want, but I want to do it myself without paying an arm and a leg

Ha, good luck. Fog lights that actually shine bright enough to function as headlights usually cost in the $900 department.

I'm sure it can be done. ClearCorners.com needs to quit being so stingy and just sell a bracket which mounts the foglights in there. '91 240sx, get the foglights and then make a bracket and then show us all how to do it with lots of pics.

there are many ways to do the sleepy eye conversion by using an electrick switch or just making them fixed in that position. there is a product made by pivot that does it for you too for like a 100 bucks.

I'm going to get the foglights sometimes this week, when I start I'll get pictures of everything and do a write up. I hope it turns out good:D

I'm pretty sure they will still be able to pop up and down, but I'm gonna be going for the sleepy eyes look on my car
