you should search around different websites

most people would say support our sponsors. check out their prices. it depends what condition and which parts you want. you got a choice of headlights and bumper. theres bumper signals too and i think thats about it. phase2motortrend has it and many others. ebay is nice too but u gotta pay for shipping not fun.

i think you answered your own "?"... halogens are reg lights.... dual projectors have well... 2 projector lights and the 3 projectors have the 2 white projectors like the dual but also a yellow on the center edge of the light

I tried going to the website you mentioned and it's not a real site. I get a bunch of pop-ups and some BS links on a page that take you to a search portal. Definitely check out the sponsor links from thsi website first to see what the pricing is like. You also need to do some research and find out which conversion fits the best. You don't want to go the cheap route and end up with a conversion that has alot of gaps or misalignment.

thats easy. The twin halogen light can be made much brighter than the projector type.

The triple and dual projectors are the same, except for a slightly brighter fog light on the triples.

As for the conversion, please buy from a NICO sponser or other sponser-linked business. You will be taken care of by these trusted folks!

there are two, the Silvia K's type has one vent on the right side looking at it from the front.

The "Aero" type has vents on both sides and you will never find a stock one for less than a arm and a leg.

The later model Ks aero bumper has two openings under the bumper lights. It also doesn't have the "grills" between the marker lights and the license plate. Those are hard to find, and you generally pay a pretty penny for them.



A non aero Ks bumper should look like a Qs bumper with one opening on our driver side to let air to the SMIC.

IF I was to do this I would go with JHot as I know their quality as my motorset came from them. Or I would look at Jarco as they have an impecible reputation.
