Default Headlight conversion - seen these before?

Check out these headlights adapted from a Lamborghini Diablo SV:

http://kleinanzeigen.ebay.de/anzeige...075?ref=search

From the description (translated automatically, so it's a bit rough): This vehicle is absolutely unique ("TESCO" design), back to about 20 cm wider (conversion costs € 55,000). Headlights of the Lamborghini Diablo SV, extra air intakes up front, turbo ventilation grille on the front hood, special side mirrors, large sills, side vents for the rear brakes, special rear cover with spoiler, rear bumper with 968 taillights and dual exhaust tailpipes. Wheel spacers front and rear. AZEV alloy wheels, front 8Jx17H2, ET 50 mm, with 235/45 ZR17 tires. AZEV Alloy Wheels, Rear 10Jx17H2, ET 14 mm, with 275/35 ZR17 tires. In 1998, at Km booth 80000 of the engine due to defects in materials with high oil consumption at Porsche Kaiserslautern overtaken was (new pistons, valves, cylinder head razing) Various other parts like clutch, starter and alternator have also been renewed. The vehicle is for his age, in good general condition. The original color was black, when converting the color was changed to "Champagne Metallic". The interior color is black with beige. Small dents / scratches were painted after. The vehicle is otherwise accident-free!

"headlights adapted from a Lamborghini Diablo SV" which in turn were from a 89+ 300zx.

lol. It looks good, but the headlights likely cost about 1/10 the price of the entire car.

Yeah, I despise that strosek crap, but the headlights look pretty good in the pic above.

Good info - so most likely available in scrapyards in the US!

Frankensporsch... every single bit's completely incoherent with the rest.. Quasimodo is a beauty compared to this, but for some illogical reason i like how they incorporated the line of the sidevent in the doors by widening their top half, together with the panel below.. It reminds me of the toy cars of the '80s and '90s.. however te whole rest of the car looks ugly as hell and doesn't seem to have any aerodynamic sense whatsoever
