Ok i want something to make my camaro MY camaro i want to make some custom headlights right now all i have is the design and i dont know anything about headlights any info will be apreciated thanks

BTW - this is in no way porportinate or acurate it took me 3sec to draw

 

.

 

They look like eyeballs...

 

i dont want them recessed

 

Do the Nissan 300zx headlight conversion like the Star Trek camaro.

 

sorry double post...

 

star treck camaro?? man i didnt even think of that that would be easier and i like the idea that someone else did it

 

.

 

my computer keeps hiccuping or something double post again...sorry

 

Here is the star trek camaro webiste
and here is a picture

 

HAHHAHAHA i dont like star trek

 

I wouldn't say I'm a fan either...but I just know about the car and that is a kick *** headligh mod...and similar to what I think you want to do.

 

not exactly what i want but its pretty cool have you tried it

 

No I have a Trans Am check out the sig =) There are aftermarket lights for the 300ZX that might look more like what you want....I immediatly thought of that camaro when you said you did not want them recessed because that is exactly how that car has them...and they have the circle lights in them as well.

 

thanks man i have a better idea now of how to do this now

 

I'm not aware of any aftermarket headlights for the 300ZX, The only option I know of for those cars are the 99 headlights from Japan, could you show me these aftermarket lights? (PM Me to keep it off the forums though)

You could also get Grad Prix Headlights, not as fancy looking as the Z32 lights but a hell of alot cheaper and easier to get.

 

I really meant to say there might be...and after doing some quick searches I haven't found any other aftermarket lights for the 300zx, so you're right. I just made an assumption since there are a lot of other conversions for other imports. Oh well...those grand prix lights look pretty nice as well.

 

I like the 300zx headlight mod but the whole Star Trek thing kind of creeps me out. I will be doing a headlight mod but it wont be as crazy as the 300zx headlight retrofit. I need my headlight mod to be removable so it will have to be recessed (to fit on any 3rd gen). I dont really want to give it away, but I will be going with headlights from a European car .... and yes true HID's ....

 

post pics when done also what is that silver stuff inside lamps is there a spray like that or something??

 

Pilot truck foglights(getting tired of them) I'm thinking of getting those Angel Eye headlights I saw on ebay.

 

has anyone tried doing the 300zx conversion

 

OMG thats horrible...

Daz

 

Can anyone enlarge the star trek camaro? The pic is small! It almost looks like a direct fit with the front bumper cover. I have yet to see a clean headlight swap on our cars. I think the one-piece swaps look like crap. But thats just me.

 

That one with the truck foglights scares me... like, nightmare wise

 

it takes some getting used to. it looks better with clear headlight covers which they don't make anymore.

 

I have custom headlights......:lala:

There is still work left to be done on them, i'm trying to develop a plan to make them look like they fill up the space better.......

 

forgot the pic

I was shaking when i took the picture so it's a little blurry, but you get the idea......

 

what year 300zx has lights like that? im not in to foreign cars so i have no clue.

well i think its 90-96 from a little searching but is that right?

 

flynlow:

what headlights are you currently using? late model truck?

 

Looks Evil!!!

 

flynlow. are them light from a 00 1500? i like that look... more info plz....


i have the angle eyes on my rs and i like them allot. i broke camera but would post pict...

 

reminds me on the terminators eyes

 

im interested in the 300zx conversion, can we get some more info on that and how it was done? i think that looks freakin sweet

 

Your best bet is to buy some and attempt to see what you can come up with.......

That's what i had to do about my projector one-piece headlights, there isn't alot of information about the headlight swaps available on TGO

For those interested I will be doing a complete write-up with pictures and diagrams when i redo the headlights......i'll post it in mid-late February, when i get the car back......

 

i just wonder if they fit really well or if im gonna have to find a way to fill in the holes around the headlights...also are they gonna wire up to the camaro headlight sockets? id hate to buy them and not be able to get them hooked up....anyone know where to find some?

well im bidding on a 300zx headlight to see what i can come up with to make the swap work easily....im gonna try to make it so i can have the factory bumper and headlights be able to be put back on easily if i want to switch from the 300zx back to stock...if im successfull ill post all the info needed

 

good luck

 

im sure ill need it, should be a cool mod if it works well

 

It looks like the head lights on my Silverado truck. I notice that gap around the head light is not equal, am I right??

 

<--- remembering to pull car in shop and black out window so it looks like no one is home if you win this

 

haha and why would you want to do that? lol

 

I have a stereo magazine from the early 90's that featured the Star Trek car. He had to modifiy the nose and the hood to do the 300ZX lights. They rise up into our flat hoodline a bit. Hope you are good at welding!

 

well i have a fiberglass hood so no welding needed =) does it give any more info on that swap? i can only go up into my hood so far...the front bumper isnt really a big deal i think i can fiberglass something together to make that work. any info would be greatly apprecieated

 

From Petersen's Autotronics May '94:
The body is extensively modified. Late-model 300 ZX headlights are installed in a molded and reworked fiberglass front nosepiece. The hood is cut, split, seamed and tilted forward to fit with the nose.
That's all it says about the headights. Sorry

 

Thanks for posting the link to the Star trek Camaro...I really appreciate it. I had forgotten where to find it. You made my day...

 

This thread is old. I posted that link nearly 2 years ago =)

It's cool that someone is taking this on though, keep updating us on your progress. Although I own a bird, I still think this is a cool mod for Camaros. It's something I'd give a shot if I had a Camaro.

 

I went to the wrecking yard today, looks like Berreta one-piece headlights will fit our 15-1/2"X5" openings. Have to really cut up the nose though and create custom brackets. The housngs themselves are $50.00 a pair at pick-a-part. But then you could get fancy hyper-blue projector bulbs for them.
Whatever. I'd do it if I had $50.00.
Makes the car look like Road Warrior. More modern, less '80's Caprice. Wonder how long it would take to get pulled over by a CHP!!!
