I've seen one. It was yellow and had a "shogan" body kit. They might look good with better taste but I doubt it. The black tint stuff some people put on their lights may help it out, but I don't know. I do know the one I saw made me want to hit the back button real fast.

No. no hard-ons for that.. I've seen a car with this headlight conversion and it looked like total ***, imo. They just don't fit in with the 240's front end..

East Bear and some other companies make kits to replace the pop-ups. Much easier to install but more expensive. IMO they looks better to but still not as good as kits from clearcorners.com which uses a sleepy eye type setup with projectors.

What about fabbing in a glass headlight kit for an FC? Or are their headlight to narrow? I know they arne't as wide as the 300Z's lights.

wow, i can understand doing z32 headlights, but if you really want to spend thousands of dollars making the whole car look like a 300zx, you should have just bought a 300zx. my two cents.

with the pignose it looks like a bug (an oogly bug at that)

the white one looks chubby and sad and retarded....

the red one looks like it has some sense, maybe it's the angle ot they just custom made a clear cover, I think that is a better idea than using 300zx headlights, as they DON'T FLOW with the 240.

The idea is good, but it looks ****** in use...

custom clear headlight covers anyone?

and anyways, I'd take Z31 partially covered style headlights over z32 style anyday. Nuff sed

Leave the POp-ups alone!!! I love the Z32 but those headlights just do not belong there. I love my pop ups to death. THe noise the motors make when you open and close them is intoxicating! Don't you guys watch Initial D!lol

Second, the clearcorners lights are probably brighter than yours.

I think the East Bear lights look signifigantly better than the 300Zx lights on 240's. But, I agree, the East Bears in general look like trash.

i like the 280/240z best... i think im gonna go that route... now its time to first find one - then figure it out... its gonna be a long month.

sry bout ur 56k -- those lights are really bright - they're boosted to 65W bulbs and with all 4 on its far better than the stock lights... and the cutoff is great. The clearcorners ones are known to be difficult to get right.... what they dont tell you is you need to remove your headlight motors and fix em... otherwise you'll never get em aimed right. -
