I am deploying here in a few days but when i get back hopefully i will be getting my 240sx back up and running. I am looking to do one of these headlight "swaps" but I am having a hard time finding any information on it.
All this looks like is new headlights and a s13 hood maybe? the reason I'm looking at this is i might go to the jdm s13 headlights later down the road but I am going to wait till i get a chance to go to japan to save a little money.
I am also looking at maybe doing this one but I can't find the brackets raceonusa used to carry it but not anymore anyone know were I might be able to pick them up?

The first picture is a S13 with pop-up lights bumper, and a Silvia hood, and foglights fitted in the empty space.

i thought with those you just take off the headlight covers and they bolt on and just dont raise your headlights or else they will be pointing in the air.
Re: custom headlight question (gnvarnadore)

Not planning on using the cover but just the lights themselves to use to mimic the 1st picture i posted.gnvarnadore wrote:i thought with those you just take off the headlight covers and they bolt on and just dont raise your headlights or else they will be pointing in the air.

I'm actually in the process of doing this. You should check my thread.

For my setup I am going to make my own housings and maybe lenses.
And those eBay jawns are nothing like what the op posted.
