Headlight and Taillight Questions for the Gurus

Ok...first, I'm new, so gimme a break. Second, I know for a fact I'm gettting the S15 front-end conversion. (I have a 1990 240SX) but I was wanting to know if anyone, anyone at all, knows where to find angel-eye halo projectors. And if not, how I could convert the stock projectors to the angel-eyes. And last, but definatly not least, if anyone can tell me where I can find aftermarket replacment taillights, not stock, sumtin like euros, for the 240 or S15. And again, if not, if it would be possible (and smart) to attempt a Skyline taillight conversion.

First off, welcome! From what I know, there are NO angel eye type things for either the 240sx or S15. And there are NO euro type taillights, the closest thing you will get to anything like that is the kouki taillight conversion(search to find out more), and that alone cost $450+. You can do a skyline rear conversion, but the effort IMO isnt worth it.

welcome. no luck on the angle eye projectors (unless u do some kinda BMW front end conversion ). as for tails, like JynX said, the koukis are gonna be ur best bet. unless u can locate some wacky clears or 'altezzas" from Japan. that's the ONLY place i know of to find that kinda thing, and even then it's pretty darn rare.

IMO the skyline tailight conversion is risky, its one of those hit or miss type of things, it can either look really really crappy or really really good, also I"ve seen some angel eyes for the flip top 240's, but none for the s15....sorry

check this out... you can make your own. I might do it when I do my front end.

Creaing Custom Angel Eyes

simple to make, but getting them into the headlight housing could prove difficult

only problem I'm seeing... the high beams on S15 lights are square, and putting these around the circular low beam wouldnt make much sense - as soon as you turn the light on you wont see them anymore.

That Angel eye thing is okay I guess... but if you have to open up your headlight assembly just to get those rings in there, you risk water leaks and fogging if you don't seal it up right (don't know if you wanna risk doing that on a set of new $650-ish set of S15 headlights)

On S13's I dig the sleepy-eye look. It's like the car is squinting, but mad - at you.
