Yeah, it reminds me of the East Bear kit, if that isn't what it is. In either case, they both look like ***.

No need to cut the headlight sub frame like RE.

Thus the benefit of cutting being a flush mount instead of headlamps bulging into the lines of the car. (And maybe slightly affecting aerodynamics?)

I think it does an adequate job of destroying the good looks of the FD. I wish I had two more hands so I can give it four thumbs down.

Agreed. Way too high. It starts to give a bug-eyed, frog look to the FD.

Thanks for the feedback. I saw it on my friend's car, so I took pics of it. I really don't like the look from the rear view. (last picture) Looks like 2 tube sticking out. But was something wanna share. I 'm sure no one has them yet.

I wouldn't get it, but here is a thought. It may look better if you have same glossy black paint job done on the housing. That plastic looks is making them look worse...

Oh no! Something new and different.... everyone panic.

It's a cool idea. I still like my stock popups though.

If they're going to stick up that far, why not just make them like these ones?

Yeah but the Zonda is so wild you could put pink neon lights on it and get away with it! The FD has a more conventional design so any "alterations" to the clean lines normally meet with critical remarks. I think the lights are ok but I'll stick to my C-westies

This may seem weird but the first thing I thought of was someone took one of those gauge pods and stuck some lights in it
