Default motion headlights

wasn't sure which forum to put this in...
how hard/expensive would it be to change the factory front end/headlights to the round euro style headlights seen hear on this red white motion corvette

im in love with this look
just wanted to see if its feasible to do on a factory built corvette
thanks!

Seeing how the design was ripped off from the Datsun 240Z, I'd them "Asian" headlights rather than "Euro"...

The 240Z ripped them off from European models (see the Alfa Romeo Spider for one example), so I'd say "Euro" is accurate.

Jag XKE (light, headlight bucket, trim ring), that nose was being made 2 years before anyone ever saw a 240z. /:\

True enough, point taken.

I still think Motion was looking at the Z rather than older Euro models, though...
