r33 headlights

so i was thinking because like most other s-14 owners my headlights look faded because of wear, and was wondering if anybody knows if an r33 headlight would fit? from any pics i can find they appear to be the same size and shape, but look far nicer.

That sounds like it would be a beautiful mod… sorry i cannot help i dont know if it would work… but if it does … hot daym will that look nice --Scott

Lights fogged up? I think its time to go S13 240 front end conversion.

no they are not fogged up its just that they are made of plastic and the corner/signal peice is made of glass, so the corner looks nice and new while the headlights look faded and dull. ive tried different products to restore the "shine" i guess to them but with minimal sucess. s-13 conversion? wouldnt you mean s-15?

Naw do the S13 popups! It would look so slick on the S14!

As for the R33 lights they would definitely need some hacking of the front end to fit.

ok…first of all. the R33 headlights will not work on S14 without HUGE modifcations to the entire front end. i bought a pair a while back wondering the same thing and this is what i found.
the R33 headlights are about the same height as the S14 headlights. but the depth is almost 2-3" difference. then the R33 wrap around more than the S14. only way i could see the working was if you cut all the metal behind where the S14 headlights sit. then modify the hood and fenders for the headlights.

if you do this…have more than 3K in hand…better to get the Euro headlights or the S15 front end.

the R32 lights i have heard work. i have seen pictures…they kinda work like the 97-98 S14 lights…but then again i have not had these in my hands to say for sure or nay.

Also check out this thread:

I heard there is a way to clean up the headlights, i think someone on here explained how to do it…Maybe search a little.

They wont fit with out alot of body work we have an R33 half cut the head lights are taller then the S14 ones.We are going to put the whole front end on an S14 very shortly motor is going in as well. :smiley:

I’ve seen a S14 with R33 head and tail lights (well pictures of one anyway)

You could always do an R32 conversion?

Apparently that’s an S14.

i want thoes skyline tails for my next 240!!!

Novus Plastic polish and some time should cleanup your plastic lenses very nicely.

tinted stock projectors…they dont look like r33 or s14 imo.

as for the s14 and r33 lights being the same size they arnt.

r33 lights are huge, taller, longer(i believe) and just bigger.

Is the fading of your headlights on the inside? if so pull them out fill em’with CLR and rinse, that helped on this one old truck I used to have.
