I saw a member from Purto Rico use these. I thought I would give it a try. They are for a Nissan 240SX. After 40 hours of cutting and fiberglass, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) they fit pretty well. I will fix the gaps and do some clean up after I strip the body for paint. Fender lines are not straight due to bondo. The slant angle is extreemly close to the 914. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Each lamp can be adjusted up/down and side to side.
Specs: H7 lamps, LED halo (white/blue color) comes with wire harness with relay for high beam (high beams illuminate all 4 lamps) If you want to do this too, I recommend a cardboard template of the stock lamp covers. There are no right angles on the 914 headlamps. the template will be smaller than the overall size of the 240sx assembly. find a good fit and cut larger than your marks. Trip and shape slowly. once you have your shape, reinforce the bottom with fiberglass (Kitty Hair and gel). I then mounted some L brackets to the factory mounting holes. I set some wet glass to the brackets and "glued" the assembly in place. Rivet nuts on the brackets make removing easy. Use large washers and open up the factory holes to make final adjustment easy. |

Pretty cool and unique! I would put them on my car in a heartbeat! They would look awesome as a pop-up or a roller light ala Corvette.

It would be easy to recess these under plexyglass with a custom bucket. Smoked plexy so you don't see anything. You could simply cut 2 holes in the rear of the bucket and 4 small holes for the adjustment studs. Flip over would take much more fab time. You could change the geometry of the pivot to open less, and have these pop up under factory lids. Custom trim around so it looks factory |

The new cars with plexi light housings are designed that way, and carry DOT approval as such. Yours won't have that approval, and the wrong cop could make your day miserable. The Cap'n |
