IDK about that, so I'm just going to post this quote from when I had a headlight :idea:


<span style='font-size:18pt;line-height:100%'>Things to take into account:

Grill, hood, and fenders would need work. May even need to be bent to accent the look of the headlights, unless you wanna look like a Volvo w/ Civic projectors :roll:
Would the design of the housings cut into the radiator mount?
Would the housing get in the way of any of the parts in the engine bay?(resiviors, hoses, RADIATOR)

If you got the $$$ then go for it, but I'd be willing to be the bodywork needed to get them to fit would be in the THOUSANDS.</span>

Are you sure you were looking at 9G headlights? I could see maybe 8G headlights. (still allot of work) But 9G headlights :? you would be better off just buying a 9G.

i think it would take less work to move a mountain than get those headlights to fit into a 7G

I can't imagine 9g headlights on a 7g. The 9g is freakin HUGE....i see enough of them as rental cars around here in Orlando. I think 1 9g headlight would take up the whole height of the front end of a 7g.

In my opinion you would be better off getting some JDM's. It would be a lot of custom work to put the 8g headlights in there. Or just clear your 7g headlights. Just my thoughts.

well back to the question... no it won't, lol... but if you were gonna mold some headlights I would suggest the silvia S15's or 2g eclispe (97-99 stock housing) haven't seen either of those yet... or any for that matter

I dont know wat it is but there is somethin about the newer 8G headlights like on the 2003's they almost have like a smoke tint on some of them ... But do u think it would be easier for me to clear the corners myself or buy clear coners and second of all I cant find the clear corners for a 97 anywhere so.... I dunno any suggestions??

Actually at Englishtown Sunday there was a 7G that had SE-R headlights... pretty weird but they fit rather well.

You cant buy clear corners for your g. You'll have to do it yourself.

P.S. It's not fun.

Suggestion for 19Galant97,
Looks like you're a newbie here. Man there are a lot of things that have been covered on this forum. Most of the things that can be done to our G's are sticky's at the top of each topic, performance, or customizing. I know it sucks to go through about 30 or so pages of topics, but at least you won't subject yourself to such ridicule. Also do a search, that'll help too.
As far as light go, unless you wanted to fabricate something(in which case, good luck), About the only thing you can do is get JDM headlights. How to get those are posted too. But i'll help you there, look up a guy called Mitsupiet.
Good luck.
