Single - Twin Headlight Conversion?

Post by DatsunNewbee »

hello there,
I have a datsun 1500 Ute twin head light grille and bumper, and I want to try to convert my 120y coupe into a sexy twin head light beauty,
how much of a mission would the wiring be for this? is it even possible? and any advise on how it can be done?

thanks for your time.

The wiring wouldn't be too hard at all. Making the grill and headlights fit your car so that it looks right would be the tricky bit.

Nothing is impossible, but how much time / Blood / $$$ do you want to invest?
in the Trademe forum there is a 120y listed with twins and a 180B grill, you could try them and see how it is done. If it was done?
