240 sx headlights?
Thursday, September 08, 2005 1:36 PM
Hey guys,

I had an idea about putting 240 sx headlights on my sunfire frontend. Now i know "anything is possible" but how much work do you think it would take to get these to work. now i am talking about the 240's with the headlights that move up from the hood only i wouild have them up the whole time. i think that would look sweet. if you know of anyone that has done this let me know ..... thanks in advance guys!!!...and gals

You cant estimate cost on custom work like that. Youll never know what youll run into. For my RSX conversion the bodyshop chopped 12" of the front of my car off(you can see in my sig how far back they actually cut the beam, what is now at about where the ECU is used to wrap all the way around the front of the motor), its all made from 2-1/8" tubing infront of the motor and Im now running a radiator and condensor out of a Civic since they are alot smaller, and pretty everything infront of the motor had to be relocated. I didnt even bother asking him how much that would be since he woujld have to finish it first to see how many hours it took him.

since you will most likely have to cut on the headlights to make them fit right, why not go with a cheaper flip up light? ive always liked the saturn sc2, ford probe, etc. i bought some flip up lights from a firebird, but even the single light ones were too big. here are some cheap lights on ebay from a probe...

Those look almost the right shape to as stock. A bit of cutting and custom mount assembly and they should slip right in.

I would have to say the 300ZX lights look like the best match. Yeah there would need to be custom work done, Cutting the profile to the fend, the front bumper Relocated the mounts for the lights and maybe some light design/fabrication of mounted but I feel it would be so cool. the 90s Zs were incredible cars and definately i like the design of the lights as it matches well.
