Hi por73914:

For the headlights I used the convertion kit for the Nissan 240sx or Silvia easy to find on ebay. Then some cutting and shapping to get it fit... see the pics.

I'm a traditionalist and I think those are some of the nicest headlight conversions I've seen... I also love the lines on a Sheridan.

Nicely done!
I've been thinking of this for years and had looked at the RX7/Miata headlight conversion parts but couldn't find anything that fit well. Nice to see someone make this work.

I am curious about 2 things:
1) are the headlights aim-able within the housing? If not it seems that the way you trim them could lead to headlights pointing off one way or the other.
2) what size (diameter) are the individual reflectors?

seems like part of that unit could be grafted onto the existing headlight door for a factory look with out all the cutting and shaping (When I try to modify something to fit it usually looks like it was done by a second grader!)

Hi there:

You would have to trim them to fit inside... Should look good inside the stock housing.

BTW this is the other video that shows a little the work been done to the body while my friend was timing the engine.
Sorry for the mess on the car... he he he

1) check this video, they are already fixed, they have screw for adjustment and already test them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAfEjAERWuM

2) I dont have the car here right now but they are about 2" 1/2


Hope this help.
