what headlight conversion were you referring to? H4 conversion, or flush mounted headlight conversion?

Most of the headlight conversions are bodykits or nose replacements.

Yeah, those kits are gonna run you more than the car is worth in blue book. That number four is so good-looking that it costs about $2650. Lotta money for new lights and a nose cone, no matter what it looks like.

If you are trying to only achieve better looks, maybe that four-light catz system is a good choice. Retains the pop-up, but looks pretty sweet. If you're looking to gain a little aerodynamics when night racing (like me), I'd pick up a good pair of driving lights and mount them in your stock nosecone. Then, when a race is about to take place, fire those puppies up and drop the headlights.

http://www.rx7.com/ has a few of the open headlight options. They have the kits needed for 5, 7 and 8. they also have the the front bumper with out the flash-to-pass lens for the open head light look. Again, these are very expensive mods, the front bumper alone will run you about $2000 and the kits are more like $2700 with the exception of the car in pic. 7.

I was thinking of doing this mod myself until i saw the hefty price tag on it. Hope this helps.

ok i posted some pictures of them, however they are not completely done. i still have to seal the housing and put a custom piece of plastic over the headlight housing to block off the top half and clear up the bottom. but this is the basic idea. they are on a different post on this forum but theres like 6 pics of them. let me know if you want to see different angles and such.

enjoy
