headlight conversion ----silvia projectors

I was wondering if i could do a silvia headlight conversion on a 88 civic HB. if u guys could help me out and tell me if it would fit in my 88 civic that be great... the silvia projectors that i want would be like this picture here

It will fit but it is going to take some skilled bodywork and a bit of cash if you can't do it yourself. Personally I would stick to some sort of honda headlight conversion but that is just my opinion. Good Luck with it.:)

if you get a shop to do it expect to pay at least a grand if not 2-3 grand.

why not get a b16? silvia headlights on a civic = ghey

yeah, get some projectors, if you got a 4door you can get them at www.Nopi.com (they gots everything you need)

Sure you can get it done.... BUT WHY? Youll be spending like $2-3k on freakin lights! Get a swap and regular projectors.... and walk away happy that you didnt just spend an assload on nothing.

I'd still do it. I'll do alot to stand out and be different .. jus take a look at my car :rolleyes: ( accord 90-93 projectors & 97+ lude lights ) But if it were to cost that much... i'd try doin it myself.. that is alot. But i love those lights.. i think the S15 lights would be easier.. but i like the look of S14 better. I actually thot bout gettin an integra or 240sx jus to do the conversion.. and 240sx are pretty bad.. been in a couple mags as the center fold lately :smile:

You do know that the lights alone cost about $1200???

Plus the lights are way longer than the civic headlights, and the s15 silvia headlights curve up out towards the fender. I honestly think it would be more trouble than its worth. I have the APC projectors on my Si, and they barely fit. Those are made for my car, so I dont think theres a chance in hell the silvia lights will go in.

- $1,200 ??!! :confused: Nah.. maybe if yer gettin some JDM or some limited edition shit .. cuz u can get a whole front end conversion for $1,600
( Hood, fenders, bumper supports, Front Bumper, And lights ) Dunno where u got info from tho ..

yea those must be some gold-plated headlights, i too have seen the full conversion for about 1500 or so.

anyway, unless ur going for more of a show look, i wouldnt waste the money to do the work.

WTF do you think S14/S15 come from? :biggrin2:

Yea those headlights alone cost about $1k, not $1600 though. And yes they are JDM, thats the only way you could get them. Now some S14 headlights would be easier and cheaper to come by, because the late 240sx had the S14 front end, which looks kick ass because some of them are projectors and you can get them a hell of a lot cheaper than the S15. But you are going to be criticized big time from any Nissan Enthusiasts for "insulting" a Silvia like that. Just my observation from lookin in the 240 forum once. But I think it would be kickass if that conversion was done. I thought about it for awhile back when i was into the show thing.

tony havent seen u in awhile?

u ever gonna get that rx-7 done?

where in cali are u from ? i know a shop that does conversions for under around $500..thats just the labor

Those lights are about $1000-$1200 new from nissan. I've already checked into it when I had a 240.

Who cares what anyone else thinks, the point is.....1- its gonna cost a grip, and 2- the shear physics of it are crazy. The lights are way to big.

nah ive seen a nice red 91 hatch over here with them and it looked so sweet.

i reccomend asking the people in the 240 forum....they will be more than wiling to help

you tryin to get the boy shot?

yea i live in SAN BERNARDINO if u guys know any auto body shop that could install this head light for a cheap price tell me...the lights are not all that expensive there like around 500 to like 900 the most that i know of...but dont u need a new finder on both side, a new hood and a new front bumper right??? damn thats going to be a lot of money...shiet.. wat else is a good head light conversion that no one has?? and look nice if u guys know any hit me up alright thanx

dude that conversion would look very very nice. fuck these people there hating. if someone that likes speed can spend 2-3 thousand dollars on a swap why cant someone who likes looks spend that much on a conversion???? i say if you like it and thats what you want do. it will be expensive though, but if thats what u want shoot for it. im dying to see pics of it when its done. my boy has that conversion but on a 2000 integra gsr and that car looks sick. i know it would look the same on your car.

Yes, you will need a custom fender, hood, and bumper. Can't really just buy it, you will have to get someone to fabricate it, unless you know how to do it.

Check out our website, www.underground-motorsports.com, under the "group buy" section for more information. Thanks!

Dude, really, anyone who owns a 240 or even has a friend who does is gonna hate what you did. If you think that the civic is too ugly stock, get a 240 and do a strawberry face conversion sileighty or something.

For me, heh, PLEASE dont.



but call me crazy, i also HATE altezza taillights.
"...oh look, a Lexus IS300....oh, no wait, its a civic..."

Youre right, i completely agree. Life is full of choices. Some choices, however, just have consequences.

would look better without the trademark bimmer grilles. then at least it would still look like a civic, only with nicely shaped headlights

Dont listen to these guys... I found this site, while looking for s15 lights to put on my 88 HB.... Thats crazy!!! Xcept the only difference between you and me is that I am most likely going full out... You just probably want the lights..

First, they do curve. So it will look somewhat retarded on a semi-square bodied hatch.. So what I am doing is looking for a set of s13-s14 lights. seeings how they are flatter than the s15's..
Then the jdm corners will cost you around um... 75$... I just saw them so its 75$.....

go to www.importfan.com they have assloads of stuff there, for hella cheap....

ALSO.. THE LIGHTS NEW ARE 1200-1500 DEPENDING WHERE YOU GO.... SAME PRICE AS A FRONT CLIP.

have fun doing this if you dont know body work!!!!! I pray for your poor poor HB thats gonna have a virgin doctor working on it..... Please... if you fuck up, JUST BURN IT.. DONT DRIVE IT... ITS A DISCRACE TO ALL OF US... Good Luck!!!
