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

just wanted to see if its feasible to do on a factory built corvette
thanks!

link dont work... least not for me. but you would be lookin at about a complete front end.. fenders, front bumper cover.. some zip ties for the high beam wires that will now go no where... and of course paint to match. my understanding is someone sells front end kits, so it would probably be fairly easy.
all in all though, thats not a professional opinion :P

Ain't happening now days.
You might try some swap meets etc, but otherwise I don't think demand (right now) will push any production on this setup.

Well my brain just kept screaming NO NO WRONG & hurt looking at this car but once that initial shock quieted down I couldn't help but like it.

Are the headlights out of a Jaguar E-type? I noticed one car is an open light & one is covered, just like different years of (period correct) E-types.

I thought that also but I dont remember seeing a Datsun with clear covers over the headlights.

Notice the red & white one has clear covers.

Greatly resembles the Ferrari Dino from the 60s & 70s. They also had lens on some and some without. Not a Ferrari buff so I don't know which years were which. Very nice cars though. Seemed to share many styling cues with C3s.
