Alternate headlight assemblies?
I'm looking to eventually do some sort of projector lights on my B13. I will likely be redoing the front grill slightly so precise fitment isn't required, and it is a track car anyway. I know a lot of folks have used lights from the Tsuru model, but to my knowledge there were no projector versions of this, and I'm mainly only interested in anything that shipped in the US that I might be able to find at a local salvage yard.
I came across a '95 J30 with projector lenses, but the yard wanted too much for me to buy the pair and try to make them fit at home, and the only B13 they had in the yard had a smashed front end, so I couldn't do a test fitting there. But it seemed that the opening the lights fit into would need to be enlarged somewhat.
I may end up trying to fabricate something completely custom anyway. Again, because it is a track car, the glass part of the headlights would need to be covered in tape in case of breakage, so I may likely just remove all the glass anyway and replace with Lexan or something similar cut to fit.
If anyone has had any luck swapping something from another model, I'd love to hear about it.
