Quote »i don't think your idea, of putting a lower profile headlight would work. I may not be getting something... but the shiny housing around the headlight is designed to beam light straight. Changing the bulb won't really change that direction, you would need a different shiny housing.[/quote]The "shiny housing" is, I believe, the interior of the light bulb itself. It isn't like the newer lights where you replace a small bulb inside of a large relflective housing. The 240sx's light bulbs are similar to a "flood light" on the outside of your house, except with a square shape. When you remove the light bulb, you should be left with an empty cavity inside that housing. The lower profile light I saw at Autozone was made this same way (it has a built-in reflector). I'm presenting this idea for someone with time and resources to try. I'm busy enough trying to paint my wheels
