ok, i noticed that there are 3 s13 silvia headlight configurations and each seems to require a different front lip style, i can't make up my mind.

the triple projector looks good with most lips but the square double lights look best with the R33 lip.

i wanna know what lamp set-up gets the most votes and then post what body kit you think it corrosponds to

I voted for 3x projectors, but I probly never buy one, cause I think 800 bucks could spent on better thing for my car.

Awesome car!

Love those wheels too, they really work well wityh the color.

Were you able to make all 3 lights functional?Until recently I owned a Silvia front end conversion ( double) and I could never get the stock harness to support my hi beams.

I like the doubles but I personally bought the triples because they were from a friend and cheap.

I've never seen the Skyline conversion until now. It has promise but I prefer the double squares.

I voted for the non-proj, but I have the tri-proj. I like either, tri-projectors are just more useful for seeing at night. If you don't drive at night, or don't need to see as well, such as in the city all the time, then go for non-projectors.

I think they are pretty bright. Nothing like new halogen's or anything, but my high beams light up almost as much as my high's on my Pathfinder do, and my PF high beams are the brightest of any car I've owned.

not to promote another website or anything. But there is a guy on 240sxforums.com with a R32 front on an S13. He could probobly give you some insite on what you need to do.

that crazy jdm antenna thingy is to help you park the car in tight japanese parking spaces. unfortunately, you drive on the wrong side of the car to use it.

yeah s13 conversions look gay. only with aero bumper and triples with the 32 style grill will i rock it.

waste of money rather spend that 800-1k on complete aero bumpers/skirts instead.
