Zenki headlight Question

[spec240]

does anyone know how I could do this headlight headlight conversion without having to do a a full on kouki frontend conversion. here----> http://onlineshowoff.com/images/feature ... /02.jpgand here http://onlineshowoff.com/images/features/27/16.jpg

It was said that he used projectors from a BMW E46 M3 to do it.Does anyone have any idea what this would cost to do or would it be cheaper just to to the kouki conversion?

those are the headlights for 240sx 95-96 he may have changed the projectors but the lense is a stock headlight from 95-96. what car do u have?

[4felix20]

ehhhh...i don't think that is a conversion. but i don't really know for sure.

[TurboKA37]

its not a conversion its just a 95-96 s14 with a body kit

[f8sjester]

it doesn't look like there's any real body panel changes except for the headlight eyebrow. . . the outer headlight housing looks standard. . . it's only the inner housing that's been changed to include that projector lamp. . .

frankly it doesn't look like it'd be THAT expensive but I'm not exactly sure how you would crack open the OEM headlight housing and how much work it would be to fabricate the bracketry for the projector. . .

oh wells. . guess i'm not too much help . . .

[TurboKA37]

it would help if we knew what car he had. would be that hard on a 95 240 but on a delorean? thats another story

[f8sjester]

at least he wouldn't have to worry about repainting the delorean

[TurboKA37]

did i miss sumthing?

[spec240]

I have a 96 240sx and the car in the pics is a 95...the headlights are custom...just want to know if it would be cheaper to do that kind of fabrication rather than a full on conversion to the 97-98. better yet, would anyone know if there is a website that would be able to do a fabrication like this. and f8sjester....huh????

[f8sjester]

if there were custom fabrication on the delorean, you wouldn't have to paint over the stainless steel fenders/hood/whatever. . .

[240marcuSX]

its a 95-96 s14 with both 95-96 and 97-98 headlights, i dont know the term for the different parts of the lights : (

my mistake it just looks like what i said about, because of the eyebrows

[TurboKA37]

im lost :O ... those are regular 95-96 head lights with eyebrows that u can buy and some sort of custom projector inside. what part art u wanting??

[S14 Wannabe]

I think he is talking about the projector in the 95-96 headlight. I think it's custom made and I know I haven't seen a conversion.

[Dano]

alrite, yeah those are Zenki (95-96) headlights and all they did was add a projector lense setup...but if its from an E46 M3, those are self-leveling projector lenses...NOT CHEAP...but something VERY COOL nonetheless, i have actually been thinkin about trying something like this for a while and i plan on doin it still, just in not so near future...

btw, do u have a link to the article? [email protected] i would really like to read that:)

Thanks-Dan

those are regular headligts... and I can see how the guy did it... I am going to do that as well... I just bought some HID"s and am planing on buying some projectors..

you have to be very careful and handy with a dremmel and you can fit a projector in the headlight.... wait about 3-6 months and I will have done it...I will also do a write up on it so just wait..

[spec240]

here is a link to the enitre article....maybe you'll see something that I missed. LIke the guys' contact information. http://www.onlineshowoff.com/i...id=27

Ok! but 6 months thats quite a wait...looking forward to see the outcome. Until then my quest goes on......:ylsuper

i believe OBX is in R&D of a projector headlight for the 95-96 240s which will be a nice replacement over stock. i heard this from a person in another thread so this is may not be 100% accurate but we can always dream

[spec240]

this is what the projectors from the BMW E46 M3 look like. they are the ones on the left side. and for someone that has cracked their headlights open, does it look like and easy retrofit.

[Dano]

i hope its not made by OBX, the quality of their current lighting products is equivilent to that of APC.

i think i would still have to buy them if they were glass so i could get some that dont go yellow on me

[Anand]

I am going to be doing a HID retrofit soon and then later a projector lamps.,... I just don't have the money to buy the projectors right now...

[Dano]

any1 called the local BMW dealer to see how much those projector housings cost individually?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say a LOT...

[Dano]

yeah, theyre going to be a lot, but it was just a question, i was at the local BMW dealership earier today with some buddies that needed parts, but that was b4 i saw this thread
