the look like two sets of Pilot brand fog lights mounted to a fixed headlight lid. I think so, because I have them on my 240. Just as fog lights not headlights. they are illegal to have as headlights since they lighting distance is too short no matter how you aim them and two sets aren't going to make much difference.http://www.pilotautomotive.com...27124

thats the look i want to the 2nd poster.... i wonder though with the headlights permenant sleepy eye if there is a way to fab up a casing for the hid's??? i know that the rx7s have a couple without the headlight lids it eliminates them....

i mean how hard could it be to build a plexiglass box and install them in that little cubby hole with hid's???

anyone done that? i want to be street legal i already get pulled over enough for a loud stock exhaust lol "blown downpipe gasket" but yah.

anyone good at fabing stuff?

That 240 on the main page has a build linking to it. http://www.nicoclub.com/articl...shtmlthey used these "A year earlier, a NICO member had listed a set of C-Wings carbon fiber quad-projector headlight buckets for sale, and I snatched them up... There were only a few sets made (according to C-Wings only 5 or 6 sets were produced). This set was the original, as his car was used to design them. The finish was rough, and the fitment not perfect, but they were unique and cool."they look waaayyyy better than the ebay ones. ugly

well thats why i want another producer... but i am kinda limited on what i do... my headlights are stuck up lol. i mean unless i can get a couple stock headlights and fit them in... but metal brace the headlights bolt onto are mangled so i dont think they will ever be functional again.

if you want the ones that look like the ebay ones without getting them from ebay then look on further than Enjuku Racing because they sale them and they are made by Circuit Sports.

here I'll even give you the link http://enjukuracing.com/circui...=2_92

thank you gnvarnadore, now the question is can i put hid's in them??? do i need a lens/shield covering the hid's? pretty sure they will fit right in the holes. i suppose i can just caulk in some circular cut plexi glass???

they're not projector lenses with a cut off tho, so HID's are just gonna scatter all over and probably blind people. I dunno how good they would be in such small/non projector lense housings.

annnnd double And those circuit sports ones are freaking ugly, they're the exact same as the ones from ebay. If you want it to look like an integra, save $100 and buy the ebay ones.the setup the first car has in this thread zer...stionlooks pretty decent and the hood would provide a perfect cutoff.
