I found these in another forum....they are coming out soon but no mention of who is building/selling these...they look good to me, around $1,000 ....

Definetely the best looking fix setup I seen ever...

Looks like East Bear lights with a lexan cover. Worth $1000? Probably not imo

i agree. for $1000 i would want a projector setup instead of a reflector setup.

especially for HIDs

I did a convertion like that. But it only cost me about $90 and a bit of elbow work.

Some time ago there was a web site with this guy who built headlights similar to the ones I posted....I cant find it now...%$#!!!

I think they went on a mazda or something...but he stated that the hardest part was making the lenses. Hard to retain a clear lense with good light tranmission due to the round shape and the "fogging" created by heating and bending the material. Then it was the issue of the material used for the lense, very hard to keep clean and without scratches...you can't just use regular lexan or plexi for this application....T

That's probably why they are so expensive... Stay tuned for the Ebay cheapo versions......

They look awesome, but like everyone else is saying, it's not worth $1000.

Bahahahaha 1k? Please, there's a reason why you don't see with conversions like Eastbear/SuperMade/ABFlug/and most of all Clearcorners because it's all too damn expensive. 240 owners, especially s13 owners are cheap bastards. I mean sh*t I am...

I saw these on Craigslist, so I emailed the guy and he said they were about $450 to have custom made. I think a better material mesh could have been used, but overall they look alright.

I've got about $800 in my clearcorners.com replicas for just the parts. If you figure in the amount of labor and head scratching it took, it's well over a grand. Do I regret it? **** no. They still make me crack a proud smile whenever I light em up. The lights in the original post look really nice but for $1000, non-projectors just won't cut it...

Fellow S13 owners are dumber than I thought if they would spend 1000 dollars to make their car look like crap.

Popups FTW

1000$ for lights! WOW!

my lights pop up when i turn on the lights, thats good enough for me. Do you know what you could get for 1000$? a new suspension, new rims, go fast parts for the engine, a slightly used foreigner, etc.

Closest you can get is these on ebay:



unless you look around really hard - doubt you'll find those around anymore, just simply not popular enough.
