s13 projector/halogen lights

hi, i was wondering if the projector lights will bolt right on a 89' coupe, i was also wondering if the projector headlights and the halogen lights are interchangable
(same size).

thanks

Newb Freebie: Are you talking about the JDM Silvia projector headlights, or the projectors that fit into the space where normal US 240sx flipup lights are?

i was talking about the jdm ones - sorry if i wasnt being clear. I was wanting to know if it easy to just switch the hood/fenders/bumper/headlights. I heard that the wiring is a little tricky.

don't forget light brackets. And wiring is easy if you know how to cut/crimp.

...and this info is in the forum in multiple places.

whatcha mean it's not just a simple task? Provided he gets all used OEM parts, and his lower fender area isn't all smashed to bits, it's literally bolt-on; then all that's left is some minor rewiring for the headlights to work

Yep. Take the OEM parts off and bolt your Silvia conversion on. You need the fenders, hood, bumper, (mine came with bumper support, but don't know if you need it) headlight brackets, and the headlights. If it doesn't come with the silvia center garnish, then get yourself a gtr grill or something. Save the nuts and bolts that you took off and reuse them. Mine came prewired so I don't know how hard the wiring would be.
Yes, the projectors and the halogens are interchangeable.

well if the whole front clip is right there with the body/light parts, what else do you think you need? Like it was said earlier, it's completely bolt-on. hood, fenders, bumper, lights, brackets, support, grille. If you can see all those parts on the front clip then guess what?
