Mine is 90% complete. I am now working on the manufacturing end so I can spread the love. It would be easy for me to make myself a pair, but I wanna share!

Those are pics of my headlight conversion right before I sold my car. I still remember how I did it, but it was a pain in the ***. Please give me feedback and maybe just maybe if something pokes me in the ***, I will do it to my T2.

Thanks yall,
enjoy the pics.

It's the RE AMEMIYA FC2000 kit from Japan... get in line, everyone wants it... too bad you'd have to sell every part of your body to afford one. The Kit, Importing Fee's, and paying a middleman will cost you your first born child.

i somewhat admire the sleepy pop-ups with dual rounds. if only the eastbear could flip up and close...that would be a nice tricked out headlight kit. by the way anyone know where to get a headlight kit cheap?

Just IMO, I considered round lights on mine. The sevens, unless you have round tail lights, IMO look better keeping all the square design. You gotta admit, most cars did not look like newer ones in the time of 2nd gens. I went with the square look. Mad props to you guys that took the challenge to make a headlight conversion though. I been through it and it was a pain in the butt. The round one looks great and you blended it quite well. Too bad I sold my car with the headlight conversion already. Not too sure if I want to take the challenge on my T2 yet though. Its all stock and I dont want to rip anything apart yet. But if I do decide to do anything, I will take lots of pictures of it.
Thanks yall,
and keep up the great work.

Actually those are the same lights on a camaro, the H4351 and H4352. I purposely did it that way. It just barely fit though. The lighting was pretty good. Also some other cars that use these are the grand prix, and cutlass supreme. GM. Yes, that was the idea, I like the camaro style lights so thats what I did. I am glad you think it resembles a camaro.
