Does anyone know how much the conversion goes for. I know every place is different, but I just want to know if somebody has done it, and how much it cost for you. Any info would be appreciated

S15 lights aren't really worth it unless you really have a lot of money to blow off like this guy

Could be money well spent somewhere else like maybe a TURBO kit?
Or perhaps a front clip?I'd rather go fast than look pretty...


Your gonna try to drift and if you crash,its gonna be an expensive crash with that conversion

the only car the S15 lights should be on, besides a S15, is a 180sx... they just don't look right on a coupe silvia. especially S14's...

But one other thing people forget.

S15 lighting is almost for show purposes, the headlights are not legal, and since they are designed for a car that is RHD the light pattern shines the wrong way and will BLIND oncomming cars on a LHD street setup TERRIBLY.... same with S13 lights...... and you won't get as much lighting on the road in front of you as you would on the left hand side of the street.....

there are ways you can adjust the alignment of the lights if you feel like it. i personally don't think it'll bug me that much once i have my S13 front end.

So your saying there not even Street Legal?

not at all...... and you can't adjust them that much as they are molded into the headlight that way..... its not like you can turn some screws and angle them how you want....they will always have that tendancy because when they were designed they had no intention of a S15 being driven in America.


my advice for you pop up headlight guys

low profile pop up lights....

OR

so sweet 1g lolol....:eek:

Screw ABFlug and paying 1g.

I found a website that tells you how to do the headlight conversion like the one on JDM RICE's car.

Screw clearcorners.com too.
I'll just do the conversion myself and save some serious cash.

Abflung's grim lights kickass........ I don't care if they cost 2k they still are sweet!

Unstable-Hybrids say awhile back they were devolping "300zx style headlights" for the 240sx...... don't know if they did them or what, that was awhile ago.
