headlight conversion, well since i wrecked and i need all new Options

[playr158]

well i was thinking since i have to buy new headlights 416 for one set
and 210 for the other a total of 626$ for new ones why not just buy nissan silvia s15 headlights and be sweet custom job anyone agree?
oh they cost 650$ new

[C3L1CA]

It would be custom but i say get some projectors and clear high beams

[x_itchy_b_x]

do a curren front end.

[playr158]

i like currens but too expensive and there are currens

[playr158]

oh and as for JDM headlights too man peeps in us have them
i wanna be original

[playr158]

[C3L1CA]

It would look good but to make it look perfect would be alot of work. If thats what you want it would look sick

[Consynx]

do Camry ot Scion Tc..be real original, and stick w/ Toyota

[playr158]

eew not camery tc might be acceptable anyone wanna try photoshopping that on?

[vangSTa_celica]

[Gilbert_619]

tc lighs are shaped odd...they wouldnt flow with the body...slivia are nice
currens look funny to me....projectors are the best IMO

[playr158]

yup thanks again Vang!

i'm stickin with my silvias even though i don't believe in cross branding lol

[jayi12-15psi]

[playr158]

plus they arn't that pretty

Curren would be real sexy. But don't do the S15, that's ricey

[Defgeph]

find a really good shop and do the s15. curren headlights are outdated.

[playr158]

THANK YOU^^^^^^

curren = outdated, already been done, integ lookin

s15 = never been done, HOT, AGRESSIVE

[Consynx]

i still say Camry.
those things can look sick...just need some kind of cover over top 1/2, or a blacked inside...i like em at least

[shin]

ever consider the RX-8 or 05' acura TL headlights. i think they look hot too

[playr158]

eh, rx-8 are soo small for a celica...plus too sharp....
a tl i dunno i havn't check those out....

but one thing i'm big on is originality.....
how great would it be to say "yea i got your mom's car's headlights.....or i got the same headlights as the 100000 rx-8s

[shin]

yea. playr158, would you be able to make your ride with the varis front bumper and the s15 headlights. i think i'll look better like that.

[playr158]

it would look hot cause anything varis is hot but i don't have another 600+ for a front bumper 280$ shipped is all i can go for right now....

its project sexy one off with a budget......damn being in college

[eclipse_04a]

what about the curves of the hood, they were made to go with the headlights curve.....i think i would look weird if you got rid the round lights to put in square ones (by that i mean flat on top)

[playr158]

well that is why you find a qualified shop with a good reputation and good work (ask for referances) i know places that do crazy insane work so i know that it can be done with a stock look

[Digndoug]

EH, I think It would be a phat idear.. awhile ago, I was looking around for proper head lights, with like the closeest mesurments an best look, for good price, then gave up.... heres two veyr quick renderings with tc's head lights.. not sure about proper mesurments.. didnt bother to check, dosnt look to good.. you def need to find a light with a nice vurve up-top that would make it.




This second Is all scrwed up, but ho-well

[fastgt]

the tc one is hott

[playr158]

looks too bulky and its square unlike a celica
celica is round and agressive with a kit
tc is sharp the whole way

silvia lights a round and agressive

but the 1st one is nice photochop kinda like a tib

I think he was referring to the girl's rear, which goes along with #1. Also my vote goes for the silvias, they look sick. The Tc lights look good from the angle shot but not so good head on. Plus the silvias would be custom and original, and originality is great in most cases, and at least respected in the others.

[playr158]

thanky you^^^

originality is what its about!

[zachattack15]

I cant wait to see this done. Good luck with it playr.


lol i was waiting for someone to say something about the girl.

[Digndoug]

Sence this was brought back up. yeah the tc headlights, dont really look that good. I was almost thinking about doing this, sence iv been starting/learning, and working on more custom body stuff. I was thinking some porsche 911 head lights, I think that would be hott. and it also has a very similar front. not sure if they woudl be mounted right. But thats what i have been thinking.

[playr158]

yea tc equal a negatory......put porsche lights wouldn't be good on our cars...wrong curve ect...

[vangSTa_celica]

playr...did u order the s15 lights yet?

[playr158]

nah not yet getting everything else first
then the expensive part later......648$ hot stuff!!!

[Kardboard]

hehe...i made that pic
[right][snapback]202245[/snapback][/right]

If you moved the lights all the way up to meet the hood line that would be so kick ass.

[playr158]

weee just got

gt-4 rear strut bar
gt-4 middle hood vent (the actual grill piece no that housing piece if that makes sence)

still to go:
windshield
airbags repacked
silvia s-15 headlights

i also plan to do a custom box in the trunk to house 2 audiobahn aw1208t or 1206t on inverted one normal and 2 1000wat plus amps and my battery should be a really nice setup and i might consider adding to 10s to that just for the hell of it to run on my current amp

[Mike]

the tc lights are tits

[Digndoug]

the tc lights are tits
[right][snapback]219381[/snapback][/right]

umm what is that mean??

[playr158]

TC lights look like CRAP is what he means tc(sharp edges) celica SMOOTH ROUND come on its easy to tell just accept TC lights are ugly and NOT GOIN TO HAPPEN plus they are mad expensive......

SILVIA LIGHTS ALL THE WAY now no more tc

cough cough SILVIA S15 ARE PROJECTORS!
and cheaper then celi porjectors
and way more the look i want

oh and the tc lights give the celi and ugly and non aggressive look

[Mike]

tits = awesome

but the silvia light are nice too..

its all abour eprsonal preferance..

[playr158]

*personal preferance *

but yea personally no sexy crap (tits=tc) on my thread please as i HAVE asked before....

yea silvia lights should be in by the end of the month or 1st week of january

[vangSTa_celica]

Hey playr? Are you planning on molding them in the same spot as the picture I made you, or are you going to change it?

[playr158]

i like the picture alot but probably up about an inch or two since the end of the headlight (on the outsides) hit that bottom scoop(were you put the turn) so i'll scoot it up some but it will look like your pic

i'll make sure to give you credit once i'm done

already the people who have help with this are
pali player
vangsta celica
dustin15brown
clement
selling all my stuff
pressure2

and by the end i don't doubt that a few more of yall will help me some how but i just wanna thank those peeps right now

[Digndoug]

I dunno, maybe its just me, but i think the porsch 911 head lights would be so much hotter. Some one said, dif lines, and they dont fit- they havnt paid attention to the lines of the s-15. Heres a very quick rendering of what it could look like. Just another opinion

[playr158]

sorry not my cup of tea.....looks wacky and bugish

[vangSTa_celica]

Ok...bored as hell, so I thought I'd use my mad MSPAINT skills and whip up another S15 chop. I don't care if its not to proportion, I think it's hot.

EDIT: Oh yeah, added an intercooler too. Just thought it'd be neat.
