Headlight Prototype Finished
this is kind of a tease, but I built a second, knackered-up prototype just to see what it would look like in the car. If someone would post the pictures, I can give you a sneak preview. Thanks.

Oh man... another carrot dangling in front of the rabbit......
Pics would be really nice this time!
Can't you just upload them as attachments, then re-edit the message to link to them in an IMG tag?????
As long as they arent like 5 megs each.

So does this headlight conversion use the stock bulbs and wiring and everything? Looks real good, just in the one pic it seems like part of it is not flush with the hood line.

It's not flush. I wasn't able to do that and have enough room for the lights. Ever notice how the other kits go down into the bumper?
I am using FET Catz lights. The kit is not "light specific". I made a bucket, you provide the lights. I wanted to allow for flexibility so some could use HID, etc.

Everyone and their brother had a sleek headlight kit anymore... maybe I should try? It looks really good man, I like how it comes up a little, but still keeps the lines of the car. Really nice touch, can't wait to see the finished product.

Also, I wanted to use the stock bumper. A lot of us would like the RE kit but can't afford the $2-3K to get it in the US and on the car. This is an easy drop-in arrangement allowing you to lose weight way up in the nose of the car.
BTW, in case it is confusing, the bucket rises above the hoodline. It is flush in the back where it meets the hood. This is the case with Eastbear kits as well. Mine also will have a lexan cover so the most expensive bit of kit, the lights, are protected (unlike the Eastbear kit).
I don't know if you can tell, but even this 1hr balsa slap-up has a better/closer fit than the stock cover. One of my goals at the outside was "better than stock" fit. I hate cheap looking crap. Even AArotary's C-West lights looked like crap in his magazine pics. I can do better than that.
Sorry the real deal is taking so long. I work for a living!
