I wanted to change my headlights and get some really awesome looking ones, does anyone out there know what is offered for an 87 n/a? thanks

 

55 volt plasma conversion light kits on ebay for 2nd gen

 

theres the eastbear headlight conversion kit

IMO they look ok, but other people go nuts for em.

do a search on the forum for "eastbear"

 

I say Run Racing (http://www.pac-gate.co.jp/run/) I talked with JT-Imports and he can get the FD lights so I bet he could get the FC lights.

 

someone has a fd look a like thing he did on here for an FC

 

I'm not going to even mention East Bears...last time I mentioned them, I was told they Look like Kermit eyes or something like that.

 

some people love how the eastbear's look, others are in between, others hate em.

dah well, all a matter of opinion.

 

I think they are kinda ugly lookin.

East Bears = ugly as hell, in my opinion.

 

The best looking one I think is the RE front end. Too bad the whole thing costs just slightly less than what I spent on my car.

 

If you are talking about mine here is a picture if not oops.....[p]
s......

I did a RE look alike too but finished these after getting some Audi H.I.D. headlight modules to use.

 

what is the lighting like with that setup you have? any night pics?

 

Save your $. Just replace your sealed beams with some Sylvania "Cool Blue" or the newer HID-like "Silverstar" 6054's.

 

I saw JOHNEQUEST's car in person and I must say: Excellent work...need a little fine tuning (as he's not done yet) but the overall work is great!!

 

Very good at night, no night pics yet, my car is at my freinds body shop and we are concentrating on getting it painted soon hopefully.

I really like your set up joneqeust, it looks even better the more times i see it , im not a fan of eastbears, personally i think they look like ****. But its all a matter of opinion

 

I too hate the east bear lights, it looks like they put about 5 minutes of thought into them for lights that cost $600 to buy.

I guess that's why they sell so few of them.

 

Just wanted to add on the ligh topics here-- Last year after one of the lights I had went south I bought two "Cool Blue" headlights by sylvania. I don't think they are that expensive ($40) for them both at most, but they are very nice. They light the night very well, although they don't exactly have a greatly blue sense, thats just fine-- that attracts the wrong attention anyway. I know I could go HID, but this is fine for me.

Also I did the H4 blue HID mock swap to the 93 probe. I was seriously displeased with them. Yes they are very blue, but also very dim. Maybe it was jsut the set, but I ended up doing a complete rewire to the stock headlight system thinking the stock wire was to restrictive. In the end I found that the "diamond" headlight conversion lens just plane sucked. Either that or the bulb. I probably spent 4 hours rewireing and replacing the headlights in that car and became only displeased.

In the end I would suggest only two ways of going if keeping stock body look:
1) Brightest 6054 (stock headlight type) (about $40)
2) TRUE HID convertion (about $400)

I don't have pictures of the probe, I would actually take a picture tonight but have misplaced my camera when i was fixing the fuel resistor relay. I did an interesting mod at the same time too-- anyways...

My avatar has a side pic of the current light set up at night. Its not very gratifiying of a picture... maybe I have the original somewhere...

 

The secret to blue style lights is the temperature of the color. Mine are 5200k most are about 3500k, the cheaper ones at most auto parts stores are dim as hell.

Can't say it enough
