I am just plain tired of the flip-ups. They make my car look like some kind of insect. Not to mention I can't see **** at night.

Well, my kit hasn't moved yet. Since I'm doing the swap I've been buisy with more important things. I still don't have an electrical system so I haven't been able to test the beam pattern to make sure it's alright. Once that's done though, it'll be very soon on my kit. I expect to start testing it out next week sometime. I'm also probably going to re-design the mounts again to get some more adjustability and make them easier to produce. Patience is a virtue

I'm With Manntis...Saftey first, An FB with a deer on the hood is still less aerodynamic than the pop-ups...

I want to get the non-pop-ups with a front airdam that can hold foglights. I'm not trying to be ricey, I just want the extra visibility. That would clear the problem of not having the first few yards in front of you unlit.

Whew! Back from the dead with this thread. <--rhymes

Anyway, I finally got the lights installed in my test car and the beam does indead leave a nice dead spot in front of the car. The good news is that it's more than enough to provide the driver with a fine view, and lights up the road nicely. I've already drawn up the third and final design and will start working on it in the next week or so. I think it'll all work out well.

Anyone elses kits coming along? I'd like to see some other designs and thoughts.

perhaps start a new thread, with the fresh idea, and pictures right at the top if possible, that way people don't have to figure out where the new posts start...

(lazy people like me)
