Where to buy these headlights

I can't remember what they are called, they are recessed inside the hood/bumper so that they don;t pop up. Anybody know what they are called? Thanks

There are several different designs but the most popular ar ethe RE-AMemiya ones. I beleive the "replica" ones are around 1k for the bumper and another 600 or so for the lights. The original is like 2k.

The Eastbear kit is around $600, and looks really good if you ask me. Actually they probably weigh less and are more aerodynamic than pop-ups. So its not really rice Santiago. Nice try.

Thanks for the help, just trying to figure out what to do, but I don't think that I will go that way.

Santiago, why do you always have to attack everyone's ideas?

Knight Sports sells a kit that isn't a pop up, but it is definitley cool. Go to www.rxecret7.com and look at their headlight kits. Unless you really don't like the popup lights, but in that case, nevermind.

Uh the one that I saw for FC's is not a "sleak kit" its just a modified pop-up with four lamps instead of two large ones. Although I do like that but for 900+ dollars I'd rather get a turbo.

Santiago, that is the Knight Sports kit.

He is looking for either the RE Amemiya kit or the Eastbear kit. I can't tell which one.

I personally love JonEQuest's headlights. Very sexy.

I think the Eastbear kit looks really nice. I wouldn't buy them though unless I had a few grand laying around. But still a nice looking product.

I wouldn't even buy them if I had a few grand laying around. I rather swap a T2 engine and tranny into my SE for that much.

The bottom picture isn't just a headlight kit...it's an entire front end (front fascia and headlights). But it's true greatness...come now Mr.87 be more thorough .

ive been messing around with some ideas while i have my headlights ripped out the biggest problem im running into is making them look sleek with the stock front bumper. i have to say tho if i get something that looks pretty good i dunno if id wanna make more then one of them just because its nice to have something one of a kind on a car where there are very limted choices for mods.
