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

[frozen_Joth]

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 ( 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

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 ??!! 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?

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

[Problem_Si]

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.
