Dont know about the headlights, but theres a taillight mod in the 1st gen archives( not to comp savy or id give you a link to it), I think its on the first page if I remember right. It was titled how do you do these tail lights i think, by bmeyer. There was also another link in that thread to another thread on them. Hope that helps or is what your looking for.

CP Racing is no longer in business (at least under that name) and yes, they did in fact suck. In both product quality as well as customer service. Good riddance to bad rubbish as they say. I've seen the buckets made out of ABS plastic with plexiglass covers. Good Luck.

I ripped out my pop up headlights because they would never work correctly. There were many different failure modes from doing nothing to continuously going up and down. Finally I got fed up with it and made some flush mounts for myself.
