After looking at rousa site and now seeing that your not just swaping the headlights, I would say the chances of the s13's fitting are slim to none do to the mounting position IMO. You could custom fab some, but why, if you want to go custom start out with the fc ones.

BTW I got my KOYO from those guys, I picked it up and BS'ed with so of the guys working there, way cool guys. I would shop there again and plan too!

yea, they'll work

So will some ford vans.

Go to your nearest autozone and look up their headlight selection guide. See which model the FC uses, and then see which other cars use that model as well.

OR you can READ THOUROUGHLY before you go blabbing off and looking like an ***.


you're one of those ppl that glance over a contract, ignore the fine print and complain that it's not YOUR fault for not reading thouroughly and being fined/evicted/jailed/maimed or dismembered.

with all that said:

buy them, try them and if it doesn't fit then sell them. They seem to be a similar shape but it might be shorter than ours. try it.

or once again, we could not care and give bad advice. whoo-hoo trolling is so fun!

In all seriousness, that's my fault that I didn't read the link, I was just tired of answering another newbie post that I just didn't want to read any more useless info generally found in newbie questions. Though I will stand by my statement, if you want to be more effective at getting answers, clearly state what it is that you're looking for, otherwise, you might get responses like mine.

In response to the headlight kit, can't say that I've used it but just take everyone else's advice, buy them, try them and sell them if it doesnt work.

if it fits then we can honestly say something good came from a 240SX for once. I tend to like the other projectors that KEEP the stock flip-ups but the Eastbear-like ones are cool too.

those look like *** IMO. Looks like something you could make with you headlught doors, 4 projectors and some PVC pipe...
Hell, if you like the look, get some projectors, PVC and fiberglass then build your own for like $150 or less

Ok thanksguys!

I will have to look into this a lil more, but i did notice the similar shape, so i was wondering if they would work.

I like these better than the raceon because of the style of light being used.

Abd as for making my own, I'm not to confident on that one, NEVER used fiberglass in my life! But i guess there is a first time for everything
