Once the aircon and speedo decide to play nice I will agree with you!

Did you buy these headlights already like this? I knew of another S13 Silvia coupe that had almost these exact style. I can probably dig up picture.

Local shop RetroFit Source did the rebuild and aiming adjustments for LHD roads.

ah ok, not the same ones I once saw. I'm sure they do wonders from the lack of lighting bricks give.

First drive was from VA to GA leaving around 6pm, 8hr drive. So most of the time on the road was night and if I was only one on a section of highway I swear a basic $3 flashlight would've made it easier to see

Oh I definitely believe it haha, you would of had better lighting even with the bricks off.

Can't wait to see what more is to come on this.

Hopefully driving it! Working out a couple kinks and waiting for a date with my tuner. Then get to shake it down and toss it around

Exactly why I was set on doing the over the shroud catch can and since no one offered a 3 port version that I could get my hands on, we made our own. Biggest things I want to make sure of are that it doesn't start weighing down the fan shroud once everything starts getting good and hot with some heat soak from a full day of drifting. Still contemplating a drain setup, but being that it sits flat I'm doubtful anything other than unhooking it and holding it up on one side will really help clear it out.Other concern is that it stays secured by that single screw. Honestly quite weary of that but haven't seen/heard much of that happening with the multiple brands that make the two port ones, a couple use steel which baffles me. Am hopeful to get a couple events in before end of year to see how well it all holds up, car included, and then will start working out details/materials/pricing.

I retrofitted my bricks with morimoto mini h1's 5 years ago. Hands down one of the best things i ever did.

I agree, retro fitting bricks is the move for lighting.
