Levin - to Trueno
Im looking for a ae86 here at home in Denmark I would hear about the opportunity to create an original ae86 Levin on a Trueno model with folding lamps instead, as it unfortunately is very difficult to find some Trueno here at home ..

And what can we use for such a swap ...

Thanks in advance

Chris.

Levin - to Trueno
On the first half of January - i will have all the parts needed. I bought Coupe Trueno in Japan, and will be converting it to LEVIN front end - cuz i dont like how coupe looks with the Trueno front... So i will be looking either for swap for a levin front end - or selling it.

Everything mounts straight forward, only thing you need - lights pop-up relay for the motors.

Also - if the front is from a UK / JP car - you would need to atleast source LHD cut off lights - which have to be atleast from US model - cuz they have Straight cut lights....

I saw few of them for sale on USA Ebay, and there was stated that they are LEGAL in 50 states, so MIGHT be that theres a version of them for LHD...

Don't quote me on it, but I'm pretty sure raybrig does not make a special version for the US. At the same time most people don't seem to care too much and just try to aim the lights down as much as they can to keep from blinding oncoming cars. I looked through their website and didn't see a whole lot of information. The only way to tell for sure is to park a car with raybrigs on to see what the scatter looks like.
