My Custom FD Headlights

There are a couple of reasons why im doing this.

-I don't have any headlights, some of you might of seen my car in recent pics from SS XII and if you did my car had no headlights.

-I would of bought another headlight asembly but i relocated the fuse boxes under my headlights so the oem lights won't work with it.

-I did some research on kits already made and its either to expensive or the quality is cheap.

-I like the stock pop ups but i like to be different and make my own things.

I just started this project so some things might change along the way.
The headlight pieces im using are from the Skyline R32.

So far i have the headlight housing mounted so i could make the brackets for it.
But right now its only being held on by tape.

Here are some pics of what i have done so far.
Sorry all i have is my camera phone.

In that nitto ad your car has the stock headlights, so what happened to them? Just wondering because you said you don't have any.

In that picture which was taken almost a year ago i had the stock turbos and all my fuse boxes were where it was supose to be. After the shoot i went single turbo and relocated everything under the headlight so i couldn't use the headlight anymore bc theres no room and i also sold the headlights i did all this bc i want to turn it into track car so the lights were useless. But i still had the covers on but like a month ago i was towing it somewhere and the headlight covers flew off

But now i still want to make it a track car but i still want to drive it arround.

Hope that clarified everything

Heres what i did today.

I got my bracket welded and painted it silver


I fiberglass the t section of the bracket to the headlight so now it will be sturdy and easy removal with just 2 screws holding it, now i have to wait til tomorrow for the resin to dry.
