where'd that FC with dual light pop-ups go?

I've been reading through headlight threads for like the past week, and even with my 10 bookmarked threads, I can't seem to find this one. There's a pic of a blue FC with a black hood. It's a shot from the front. Its lights are up and its got double lights in each pop-up. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Excellent. Exactly the info I was looking for (though in a kind of roundabout way). Thanks.

I hadn't seen that pic before... The conversion looks kinda neat... but reminds me of a movie from my childhood... oh yeah... "Short Circuit." The robot that came to life or whatever (typical 80s movie)... the headlights look like his eyes.

Nice conversion, though... kinda cute.

I like the pop up lights with the lower profile. Let us know if you come up with a way sell these and a way to rig some xenons up.

ok good to know, thanks for being honest too.
I think I'll look into some HID's if I can find a setup where the lamp is rectangular somewhat like stock.

Wait, is that the knightsports kit? Or did you just rig it up yourself? 'Cause the one I see for sale (http://www.rxecret7.com/ksfc-4beam.html) has a housing thing which yours doesn't.

Good god! I'm sorry, but that is insane. I can't possibly see myself spending that on headlamps.

Yeah, no wonder no one makes parts for FCs anymore, no one can afford them.

i plan on changing lights so when i find some i like i will be building a shroud for them. the ones i am useing are just foglights and dont shine far enough. They also are to narrow. they look good but lighting has suffered.

If you can make them for less with the same quality or better, be my guest.

Well, I'm not that resourceful, but perhaps one can buy this:



and modify it to fit an FC. It costs only $350 and is originally for a Miata.

hmm, sweet. I guess it's simple enough to fabricate a bracket for it. But it would be difficult to make a bezel or cover to dress it up.
