crazy idea? or just stupid?

i was thinking, is it possible to use the hood of an s13 with the bumper and fender of the 180sx and remove the popup and instead use some rectangle fog lights? or is it just impossible? have anyone thought of that? maybe some mod are required but i think if someone could pull it off, it might have a really mean looking front.

ps, if you are in the about to do your s13 front conversion, give my suggestion a try, it shouldn't take long, post pic if u did,...

I have seen a pic where someone used the s13 lights and had the headlamp covers up and used a s13 hood and bumper, not the same thing but weird.

you shouldn't do this with fogs, they have ****ty *** output if you are to use them as lowbeams. you will get in a wreck. why not pull of an hid retrofit or even a halogen low beam projector retrofit, and fogs would be okay as highbeams. you might could keep the h4 as a non flip up like that fc pictured above.

if you go hid, please no rebased taiwanese kits, do an oem retrofit like me if you can get a hookup from a dealer service department or bodyshop guy, you might can even get everything for free

Yes just say no to taiwanese hid kits. Go Japan like mtec or something.

^ HAHA same crappy *** quality. go oem parts: bosch, hella, kioto, matsu****a etc and do a retrofit, no halogen housings take well to hid kits aside from 2 cars i know of. you will blind oncoming traffic and have crappier output than halogen bulbs

Germans make the best HID kits IMO.....
I would go Bosch. It comes standard in Audi, VW, and Porche.
BTW retro fitted HID kits are illegal so don't get caught...
