Someone will chime in soon. One of the jdm parts type sites sells a kit for either this or the 90mm's combined with the sleepy eye look.

I swear there was a thread about it, but can't find it anywhere .

East Bear (some jdm manufacturer) makes those.

They look like the east bear ones. I really don't see the point. My friend had the east bear lights and took them off after a summer because he couldn't see at night with them. They didn't have too much adjustability to them either. Good luck with them.

Alright, I'll clear this up for you guys The lights seen in the picture are not available for purchase in the form seen here. The housings are East Bear but the lights are 90mm Hella units that have been custom fit into the East Bear housings. There was a thread about this on freshalloy.com (IIRC) with some more pics and an explanation of what's involved to recreate it. *Note* You will have to cut into the body to fit them so think about that before you decide that you want them. You're looking at about $500 (halogen) -$800+ (D2S HID) to recreate them.

Yeah, i like those, but i am not sure if i want to go with all the work, and if they dont illuminate the road to much i dont think i want them, i drive a 1990 Eclipse GS-T that has horrible headlights and although it is really fun to drive cuz its bored .20 over and is quite modded i just hate not being able to see the road. So i think i will probably skip this mod. Thanks guys for your help.

No, no, no... you misinterpreted my post! The lights seen in the photo are AWESOME and are head and shoulders above any other lighting upgrade available for the s13. I have the Hella 90mm D2S HID units in my pop-ups and they ROCK!

The conversion is expensive, rare, and labor intensive but it's worth it in my opinion.
