Testing interest in Aero headlights...

Whats up guys. I was wondering if there is a high enough demand for non-popup lights for me to start fabricating and selling them. Right now i can make them for 1st gens, and i am working on the 2nd gen setup. I would sell these as complete kits or as housing alone making the customer able to chose his/her own light combination and keep costs down. Prices would probably be around $400 set with lights ready to install and plug in & $250 for just bolt in housings. At those prices i beat every other manufacturer. Think its worth a go?


i can have pics of the 1st and 2nd gen headlights in a week or so.

If I had my choice I'd like four little round lights so they match the s5 tails. The FD ones look great. I like that much better than just a clear lid over the hole with the lights inside. IMHO.
Yeah, I'd buy em.

Besides appearance and price, the next biggest consideration for me would be weight savings over stock. Without the headlight motors, etc. how much is saved?
