After market headlights, final fitting to occur when the car gets painted Options

[Mike Bellis]

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.

Thanks for all your input Mike it has really been helpful. I work with kitty hair often but I don't know what gel you are talking about. Is this a Evercoat Product? I know about short strand and long strand filler but the gel is a new item for me. When I get the housing I may go with the two part adhesive first used on bumpers if it is the same material as bumpers that should give a better base to adhear to the kitty hair. I also have worked with pvc sheet and could glue that to the housing if it would be a cleaner or stronger construction. Kitty hair is simpler though but pretty porous to work with but it is waterproof. I always need a skim coat of regular rage to fill in the voids in the kitty hair and to cover the later bleed through of the strands in the kitty hair.
