in aw11's they are far and few between....
I've looked into it on the aw11... part of the problem is the angle that the headlights sit when down..... when you remove the headlight assembly you have tons of room, but when you look at how much height there is overall, it becomes a little difficult.... in order to do this properly, you would have to find some DOT approved lights that are very thin.... or you would have to find some small DOT approved projector units (last I priced them they were around $100 each... and you need 4) and they will be sticking up a bit. basically..... look at your car from the side..... take the point where the "top" of the headlight meets with the front bumper, note the height.... then take the point where the "bottom" of the headlight meets the hood.... not that height.... you'll notice that there isn't that much height difference.... so making a true flushmount makes it difficult.... you could modify the front bumper, but that's going in a whole other direction. you could probably do it using some non DOT approved fog lights with 100w H3's... but your lighting distance will be compromised... I remember someone who did this and was not happy with the light output.... |

This is one of the projects I plan to take on! I am looking to get some measurements of 300ZX headlights, as well as a few others. If that doesn't work, I will look to sort of 'construct' my own.

I talked with one guy and he was thinking about the 300zx z32 style would fit with little mods. I had a set but sold them for dirt cheap when I had my 300 and I'm kinda kicking myself. I think it could work and might look decent but I'm not up for any body mods.
The guy above me posted before me but it wasnt him that I talked to. lol |

HID kits
I have a local guy who sells HID kits from 6000K to 15000K for $75 plus shipping. I bought 2 sets and have had them for about 3 months now without any problems. the kits came with bulbs and ballast/ igniter. they are 2 separate units unlike some other kit I bought that connected the 2 headlights to one side. he also gave a limited warranty incase of breakage. I don't want to overstate the warranty but as he seemed pretty chill.

Daniel Stern Lighting Consultancy and Supply - get Cibies here. There's a lot to read there as well. Quality advice and useful information (as opposed to marketing hype) from someone who really knows lights. I am speaking of H4 lamps that replace the existing sealed beam units, not a complete flush-mount lamp system, so pardon me if I have derailed the conversation... |

I wonder what the interest would be in a conversion kit for the AW11 for a pop-up unit that only opened 20*-40* instead of the OEM 90*. I've seen a few cars that do that just for looks but nothing with an adapted headlight assembly to match.
From the factory the lights pop up 7.5". I think it would look good if they were to pop up only 3". Here's my scaled Paint rendition of a 3" rise with twin Bi-Xenon assemblies (78mm / 3") in a 4" shroud assembly: ![]() |
