Eh, I don't know how good that would look personally. And I haven't seen any of these around, probably have to be a custom thing.

Just put some euro-spec 7" round hella or cibie lights and upgrade the bulbs. That's what I did and its much easier to see at night now. You can find everything on Ebay.

This is what I planned on doing to mine if I still owned it. Cheaper, looks better, leaves the classic body lines, etc.



Although if you could get it to look like that...

You have to place the pictures on a common sharing platform like photobucket then reference them from their with the [IMG] tag.

You can also reference any picture or image on the internet buy getting its source location, URL, and placing that inside the image tags.

Just upload the picture to this forum. It's WAY faster and easier.

I think Steve84GSTII had the headlight setup you're looking for. On second thought, I think he built it himself. You gotta learn to be handy sometimes with these cars. Well, with anything, really.
