any headlight conversion is going to be difficult work and cost a lot of money which most people on here aren't willing to do since our headlights are awesome as they are, and most would rather spend that money on performance.

it probably wouldn't look that good.

no one has done it that i know of, but i've had people inquiring about getting it done until they discover they can't afford it. headlight conversions are not easy and take A LOT of time if you want it to be done right.

IMO...I would say it would not look that good.

The best HLC for our cars if any, is the Silvia S15 conversion. Only reason I think its the best is because the S15 just looks like a more ellongated and more aggressive looking OEM eclipse headlight to me. Again that is my opinion...this is coming from a ricer himself now too. I would honestly not waste any of my time or hard earned money on a HLC.

But I have seen the light and I am moving away from the rice and into what really matters and that is the performance aspect of our cars.

So that is my take on it...

Hey, dont tell me your the guy with the burnt orange eclipse. There has been a guy that ive seen at shows here in PA(he always takes my 1st place trophies from me in the mitsu class) with the the silvia conversion, drift front, blitz high sides and rear. Is that you? I noticed you were from NJ.

The only HL converstion I would ever do would be the S15 since they have the same flow as the Eclipse stock headlights but have more of an Aggressive look to them.
