300zx Headlights
What do you all think about putting some 300zx headlights in a 75 vette?
It would be the newer style form 90-96 headlight non pop up.

It bets spending 700 bucks on the l88 style. The l88 style in my opinion cost to much for something that any metal shop should be able to fab up cheaper. than they sell for. Also to they look better than the l88 style lights.

Well if you want my opinion, they would look nasty. But I'm not even a fan of the L88 lights.

I think the front of the 300ZX is slightly curved so getting the lights to fit might be a challenge. Maybe some enterprising person will come up with a fixed headlamp conversion that uses projector headlamps. There are certainly enough cars around now that use them. The ones from a BMW that have the glowing ring around them might look

Actally I think they look nice-just paint those seals to match the body color.

Saw one of the guys running Gm truck headlights..late 90's to early 2000 looked pretty sweet..and have seen some with the headlight adjustment set at halfway with smaller square sealed beam that did not look that bad..Joe.
