turbo kits are for upgrading turbo FC's. not for turbing N/As

You say that you searched but did you use the Search on this site?

There are plenty of threads on converting an N/A into a TII but the general consensus is, it is cheaper and less time consuming to simply sell the N/A and buy the TII than it is to turn an N/A turbo.

There are a hundred thousand posts on modifying the stock headlight set-ups. Rotaryextreme.com, sells a couple of the kits. There are non-pop-up / sleek headlight kits, or simply 4 bulb conversions that retain the original pop-up design. Look for names on the web such as, Re Amemiya, C-West, East Bear, those are just a few.

I hope I helped, but seriously your biggest help on this site is the archive of thousands of posts, that are accessibile via the Search Link.

Good luck and have a good one!

There have been no kits tested or formally made, however you may wish to try this company who claims they made one
