well, this is one of those preference things, I guess - I've always thought the popups came up too far, and now that we have the technology to get the same beam pattern from a smaller source it is a nice mod to do...looks sweet

The headlights go down to the stock position when they aren't on. And only go halfway when they are. They don't stay in the half-up position when they are off.
That would be retarded if they did.

If only up for lighting then it's not a big deal.

No it's not Turbo'd
Uh the 90mm ones are the ones I have Fumachu, and they won't fit in the stock houseings, unless you make a custum bracket, and then you'll still need the DE's for highbeams cause nothing else will fit ....
It's a space issue... but I have the DE's are my foglights, and the 90mm ones are driving, and then I have 90mm highbeams (non HID) since I rarely if ever get to use them in LA. even @ 4am there's enough people out not to be able to use them but once in a great while...

Our lights pop up less than a lot of cars, but having them half height would be better yet.

Crosby: Making a bracket or jig of some kind is no problem for me. I agree that I don't even need a highbeam of any kind. I love being in So Cal
Maybe I will stick with buying the DE HID's in the future.
So you don't think it's possible to make dual 90mm non-HID fit in the stock housing at all?

WOW, SOUNDS LIKE YOU DRIVE HELLA INTERSTATE! HOW MANY MILES DOES ONE PUT ON A CAR TAKING "ON-RAMPS" ALL THE TIME.

Does the knightsports' kit use 90 mm?
as a reference, the miata has a similar setup and here is how that kit looks:

This half headlight mod makes the car look idiotic. But I guess whatever people need to do to be "different."

If the KS kits used 4 inch lights, and the 90mm hellas are ~ 3.54 inches
The hella 90 mm non-hid's dont' seem to be that deep (see picture)... I think i'm confused about the fitment issues.

With the stock 'FG' lamp frame, it tapers towards the rear, and you'll likely have issues with the longer (deeper) Hellas - unless you make a new frame like the Knightsports, or maybe hack up the stock frame (as it appears Wael did).
In other words, it's not a lens diameter problem - it's finding room in the area behind it.
