What can be done to the s13 silvia headlights to make them better as in both cosmetic and performance. Clearcorners hasnt touched em yet and I plan on getting the 89-94 coupe half n half led taillights and the silvia front corner lamps from them. But has any body seen the silvia projectors (tri)modded? If anybody has pics, input, whatever let me know whats good. Its amazing how hard Ive searched and found diddly sqaut. Thanks team (feed me feed me)

For the silvia headlight I think you would be happy with a HID kit. I think the front silvia headlights look fine the way they are.

If you look on Clearcorners, there should be the headlight upgrades at the top, see if you can buy the LED add on rings from them. Measure first though, I haven't seen S13 projectors in person, or Clearcorners headlight conversion, but I bet they're pretty close in diameter. How do you like those taillights BTW?

I dont have the taillights yet, just a definite mod in future. They look darn good to me. But what looks even better (the best taillights ever in my opinion) are those for the 180sx clearcorners offers. Those alone make me want a hatch, but I prefer the coupe. Who knows though a hatch might very well be in my future.

You can get the covers from final konnexion and retrofit some HID projectors and get yourself that HID kit. You currently have halogen and if you try purtting some hid bulbs in there it will not look the same as hid projectors.
