Headlights from a different Car on the FD ?

Hello Friends.

I got a weird question. Is it possible to use Headlights from a different car on the FD ? Like the ones from the 323 or 180sx.

Thanks

If you mean complete replacement i'e cutting metal work and shaping body to fit lights then yes. If you mean just straight swapping the glass then no.

Try Eurorotor in Holland, he might have them in stock.

If not, contact me. Mine are of (EU FD) and normally I'm swapping to sleek headlights.
Only selling a set.

with money, and some time, and with the correct amount of skill, you can do anything. it'll prob cost more then you'll wanna spend though. plus it'll look pretty ugly imo
