yes w/ the gatling shrouds. I used acrylic mirror as a backing to fill in the area the shroud didn't cover. If you look on hidplanet i have more photos of the retrofits.

here's another thread that's useful for creating your own clear lenses. It takes a lot of work to do this right; however. I haven't made any in a few years so please don't ask if I have some the lense forming thread: finished product post 1 |

JDM housings (divided domes), and at this time, they were final konnexion,, tapped a wall, and replaced with Circuit Sports, which had better fitment BTW. Oh, and a lot of the extra gap has to do with the CS/SM/FK clear covers actually being smaller in overall face size, than OEM lenses, one thing I've never liked about em, but they're 100% better than piss yellow fluted stockers.

i also used the circuit sport clear covers for projector retrofit. it really does suck how they are smaller. it makes the edges not line up with the corner lamps and leaves a gap above and below. i was considering getting euro glass but destroying those would hurt and it would have the fluting

I was going to retrofit those because they have glass lenses, but decided against it because they fit like crap and you need a 3in projector to make it look decent. And they are a bitch to mount. |

I have replacement bulbs, and it isnt some super secrent japanese spec bulb, you can buy them at auto zone. there are only gaps if you try to mount them to the stock position. I am going full tube frame front so the bracket will be custom fitting them as best as they can be. |

you're fitting a square peg in a round hole. and it looks like shit, unless you have a body man take your curved hood, and put some kouki angles on it. Putting R32 lights in a Zenki is even worse than R33 lights.

That being said, if I get everything lined up at they still fit like shit, I have no problem buying some USDM headlights.
like I said, these were dumb cheap, and this is what remained of my previous headlights. |

there is no fitment, they fit ill, and not in a good way, yeah you can be like "Hey bros, i got jdm tyte skyline headlights bruh bruh", but the only lights that belong on a Zenki, are Zenki lights... ....or no lights at all... Hell, i'm not even a fan of projector retrofits, sure they give a great beam pattern, but to me, they look out of place stuffed inside such a "big" halogen housing. call me a purist, but it's either USDM, or JDM housings for me all day. clear covers or not. I'd even pass on german glass, mostly because the fluting is going to make the beam pattern for shit, and you have to worry about breaking/crashing/cracking some $600 glass lenses, that have poor light output for US roads anyways. Sorry, maybe I'm just an old man stuck in my ways...
