Default S15 or S14 Headlight Conversion?

I recently had a friend of mine, a big Silvia fan, tell me I should put a set of S15 Silvia headlights in my 4th gen. Is this possible with out completely reconstructing the front clip and hood. The only reason I'm looking at this is the silvia lights are cheaper, as a rule, then the JDM one piece sets. That and I haven't seen any like this where I live. TIA

HAHAHAHAHAHA...dude while I do like the look of the Sylvia lights I have to laugh because you don't realize how much body work that's gonna take....

JDM headlights are DIRECT BOLT IN. Save for JDMs...and they're not that expensive...$350US on ebay...that's nothing compared to $2000 in body work..

The lights go for about 800+, not including body work and paint, so you should just spend the 200 to 300 dollars for the jdm prelude if you want something different. If you see the conversion it doesn't really look that good on preludes or any car other than a silvia for that matter.

The lights do look good but only on the 240, that's the conversion my brother is doing 95 240sx. Trust me every part for that conversion is $$$. The lights 850 shipped, front end body parts ( bumper, hood, fenders) 1800 shipped. So unless you got money and lots of it, it's not worth it.

Might as well just get an s14, about the same price as a 4g but RWD and a better weight distribution, minus the intense amount of work of the conversion... Or just go with JDM prelude headlights
