Does anyone know if there is a company who makes projector headlights for 95?? I love the skark eye look on the 96+ MCS14 but I don't want to change both fenders, hood and then pay for the head lights. I have been looking but couldn't find anything... any of you have done any sepcial projects with the S14 on the headlights (excluding the S15 and MCS14 swap)???

i'm looking for something similar.. i like the look of the 97-98 lights, but I still like my 95-96 lights too. Only thing i've heard of being done (besides homedone jobs) is getting european headlights. The 95-96 silvias in europe (left-hand drive countries) have lights that are kinda like projectors for our models. I think a bunch of people at zilvia.net did a group buy for them onetime. Someone was able to get hold of a contact and a bunch of the did a group buy. Wish i had the money then =\

What I'm going to do is get the Bomex ground effects kit with the hood spoiler, it gives the look of the 97-98 headlights. It looks really good.

from a distance it looks good(as long as you're looking at the very front end of the car), but from the side and everything, its too bluky and gaudy looking IMO. i love my '95 headlights, but i would love to have projectors. anyone got a picture of what the european lights looks like? i've never seen them. (if they are kina like projectors, then they must look diff. dont' they?)

obx is supposed to be coming out with some projectors for the 95-96 240. me and one of my partners had a business goin for a while and had a contract with obx. so they sent us a catalog and it had them in there, but when i called to order they said they werent in production yet, that they were still working on them. i dont know when theyre coming out though. i learned that obx is kinda unreliable with 240 parts. they never had anything in stock for me, they always said in about 6 weeks and then id call back and theyd say about 6 weeks more.

i wish i had a pic myself, but it didnt have a pic of the actual 240 projectors on the page, of course it only had the ones for civics and accords, you know the normal cars that everyone has. ill probably try to call them in a few days and see if they have a production date for em. i do know that they where gonna come with either silver or black inner housings though, and they were gonna cost me about $3-400, and thats with my discount i was getting. so they werent gonna be that cheap.

400$$??? holy jeez batman. i actually saw the j-spec headlights on a silvia somewhere online just a few days ago, and this post came to mind. i couldn't get the picture tho, and i forgot the website : ( they looked basically like ours, but had a little different look in the inside. i liked it. the outside wasn't clear glass, it was that distorted stuff like ours. i like the clear glass better.

On an Option video I have, I could have sworn that I saw a 95-96 with one piece headlights, but I could be totally wrong, has anyone ever seen or heard of these?

You better contact him soon, cuz they closed the topic at freshalloy cuz they don't allow group buys there. Or ask him to post here, i'd bet he'd find tons of people willing to buy them, myself included.

Join the club Ben!!! :)

Those lights are sweet, but the corners look oddly out of place. $590 US, damn thats expensive for lights! Hey APEXi240, if you find those 1 piece ones, let us know, ok? I'd much rather go with a 1 piece that the 2. And why the fuk didn't we get those lights stock? Nissan USA trying to cut EVEN moe corners, sheez!!!

i love nissan and stuff, but they really do piss me off alot. i mean we got the crap for our cars. just little stuff even, like headlights. WTF is the difference, why can't they just make it easier on themselves and put alot of the same stuff on 240sx's as silvia's. they're *basically* the same car.
