I am not 100% sre if I want to do it yet, but I like the looks..

The middle car, with the light being INSET with the glass covering it, would be more aerodynamic..

Are you for reals? I'll try to be nice though.

That is called a 300zx. why don't you just give me all your money and I'll make your headlights look like those it may look slightly like I just had a picture printed at a vinyl store and stuck it on your headlight covers but it will be super jdmtastic and you will have +5hp airflow.

Seriously though, there are several companies that make inset headlights. The only ones that ever looked very good were AB FLUG and Eastbear. As far as I know, neither are being sold anymore. Also because they arent really adjustable because they are aftermarket they are hard to aim. Also generally the kits have you using inferior lights sometimes fog or driving lights and they are really bright, but not good at all.



Those are the eastbears, they were going to come out with a cover a few years back like the ab flug grims but I haven't ever seen it.

Personally the clearcorners headlights are much cooler but cost more



Or you could also just do us a favor and not race at night so aerodynamic with the lights on wasnt an issue...

I think he's aware that is a 300zx, but I think he means he want's to do a 300xz headlight conversion or maybe even a 300zx front end conversion? go into more depth so we can help you out.

Well, I do not really like the front end of the 300zx, but I was thinking I may like the inset lights... I might have to photoshop it to drive it a try first..

The Eastbears look pretty good actually, how much do they run?

Well, I think I may have decided against this, and may go with the halo with the glass covering.. Spyder or whatever they were called.. Maybe I will actually leave the popups for now :-)

I do want to do the side exhaust though, haha :-)

Veilside also made sealed flush headlights too. Long out of production. Shouldn't be hard with some fiberglassing experience and an oven to bake the plexiglass in. Just be sure you're not gonna bake anything for the next week otherwise it's gonna smell like plexiglass...don't ask how I know this...

Just out of the blue, how easy is it to install these headlights? Ive never played around with head light before but i might go for the new look.
