S15 Sylvia Headlight Conversion [Merged 11-8]

[myeagleneedmods]

Wow those look sweet on a 1g

 

[Injected]

Absolutely beautiful. Not that I don't like the 1GA's but that looks almost OEM, just like the 2G S-15 conversion.

Mod Edit - We have a pixel limit for a reason. Follow it. - leet

Hey, leet, I was posting it for him since he couldn't get it to work. I'm putting it back, but I found out how to fix the pic so I'll just adjust it within an HTML tag... Why not edit his post using the same method I did and delete mine which is more productive (no disrespect, I'm just sayin'...). It would obviously be unproductive and inefficient to do this all the time, but I was helping a guy out and wasn't maliciously putting HUGE pictures that require massive scrolling in the thread. Beyond that, thanks for moderating. - Injected

Hey guys, thanx for your comments, I was kinda doubtful before I made the mods but it all came out well. For all of you interested in doing this conversion I can tell you it's not as hard as it looks. First of all I did not modify my front bumper at all, all the mods where on the hood and side fenders, mainly cutting and welding the pieces together. Once the whole pop up system is out there is plenty of space for the S13 headlights. Making them work is just plug and play since they come with an H4 type connector that divides the power source to the two proyector lenses. So this means you just plug in your old harness into the one in the headlight.
As far as ilumination gpes, I assume it is way better with these headlights but I can't really compare beacause I installed a 8000K HID kit along with the headlights.
I'll replace some pictures on my gallery with new ones of the engine bay so you can see the connections and mods to fit these headlights. I'm out of sapce for posting pictures on my account so I can just replace!!!
Thanx again.

whoa, not bad, I wouldnt mind having it, looks kind of liek an alfa romeo dont cha think?

Once again, pixel limit. You've been around long enough to know better.

 

[DarkstarTsi]

I've posted (or better said replaced) some new pics of my car and engine bay so that you can see more on the headlight conversion. You can see them in my gallery. If someone can upload them to this thread it would be nice.
Thanx

That looks amazing! I plan on doing something similar to my car, but perhaps with 300zx lights or something.

Please explain what is it about them you aren't 'feeling'. Just because a part isn't made for a specific car, doesn't mean it doesn't flow/work well with that car. If that were the case then universal parts would all suck.

 

[97GS-TSpyder]

the fact its a dsm

Im one of those guys that think if you do something, it should be with any OEM variant of any dsm....nothing else.

and hte fact that i drive a sil80, and thats a set of headlights wasted for a dsm that could be aon a 180sx
