It is a custom job. Some people use fog and driving lights (BAD). Others are actually using legal headlights (hella 90mm). Custom mount, custom wiring, custom work to the motors to make them only go up part way.

I've been working on mine bit by bit since 2000.

Hard tops rock! What took your swap so long? Just procrastination? I'm hoping to get started on my swap next week so I was just curious.

....Along with the thread. I've been looking to do this project for a while. I've figured out how I'm going to change the linkage but I'm just not sure what would work the best for headlights because I would much rather use headlights than foglights :nono:. The NSX are sweet but I would rather pay rent instead of buying those.

ill be doing it the same way supranick did it.

mostly procrastination, missing parts.. finding parts... and a little bit of trouble which i had to figure out.

SupraNick’s headlight conversion is one of the best and most beautiful conversions done on the supra headlights. It was one of the first done and it was done right. That said I hope Nick doesn't mind if I use his picture to demonstrate what I think would look good on our lights. I think the narrower rectangle goes better with the Euro corners. Don't get me wrong I think the setup Nick has is awesome. But I like rectangles:icon_mrgr .

i actually do like this alot better but who sells the lights

 

[??supra]

that does look good but what headlight would you use to do that?

 

[Dirgle]

Not sure what headlights to use yet, I would have to do some research. The pic is just a PS as I'm sure you know. It's just the start of an idea.

that car is gone already. uh supranick had a write up over on supraforums, but i think its not there anymore...

find a hella dealer with reasonable prices. get the 90mm projector module and then the regular 90mm for the highbeams. from there decide if you want to use a halogen bulb or go HID ($$$)

after that find a way to mount them. ill be getting some aluminum stock and making some type of enclosure/mounting surface. the electrical is cake. then all you have to do is modify the mechanism that opens the head lights, i havent looked at it yet but im sure its easy to do.

EDIT: you already have HIDs that plug into the stock harness so its that much easier for you. you use that bulb for the projector, then find the line that powers the highbeam bulb. id use a regular halogen bulb for that.

I've heard some complaint with this mod that it doesn't light up the road very well, but I can't remember what type of bulbs they were using. (probably fog light ones)

 

[KeithH]

I've heard rumors that there is a motorcycle headlight that is small and rectangle. Start there.

Those people that complain about lighting are either doing fixed headlights or using fog light/driving lights or both. Hellas were designed as headlight main beams and are one of the most state of the art headlights available.

 

[supra90turbo]

Yeah. What Keith said... :icon_razz

 

[Brewster]

I want those lights.
