Skyline headlights, how to install them

Does anyone know how someone can put r34 headlight onto thier car. I think it looks real nice.

I know its a custom job. Is it possible i can try to do it myself. R34 headlight are nice. Or is there a place i can go to?

well unless you have body work experience, then i do not think you will be able to do this.

and also you cannot post a picture from your computer. it has to be on the web for everyone else to see it.

Like redmaxpa007 said ... a bodyshop would be the best place to go for something like this. They are not a plug-and-play installation. Also be prepared to pay quite handsomely unless you got hook-ups and the fact that you might not be able to put your stock headlights back on.

Re: Skyline headlights, how to install them

If you have to ask, then you can't do it yourself. You have to modify the radiator support so the headlights will mount properly, you also have to modify the fenders, hood, bumper, and grill. Most shops will charge $1K+ for this mod on top of the $6-700 it's going to cost for the lights themselves.

Just give me a dremel and duct tape and ill install some skyline headlights for $200! (It will be a very ghetto install) Like everyone else said get urself a big wallet and go to a body shop. With alot of cutting and molding fiberglass you will have a pair. Remember, if it was inexpensive to mold these headlights to ur car then everyone would do it.
