It can happen, but at ALOT of cost. Really would not be worth it to do theconversion. Different headlights, wiring, bumper, fenders,grill, hood, etc to fit. After all of this,, the look will not be right at all. For what you spend to do this,, just go and get the later model car.

easiest thing to do is convert your usdm headlights for the jdm one peice lights, not many people will notice but the taste is in the details imo.

(If you dont know what they look like theyre in my sig)

I have them on my 92 as well. You can normally get them for around $300-$400 for the set. There is a thread in the search forums to help you wire them up correctly as these lights use a 9004 bulb as oppose to an 9003. It will require yyou to convert your wire harness over to accomodate. Simple process really,, just use the search feature to find the thread. Here is a pis of mine with the JDM headlights.


BTW,, the pic is signature is HUGE. Will be a good idea to shrink it down to legal limits for the forum b4 the moderators say a little something to you.
