Question. Why wouldn't the kid you make for the FD not fit an FC? I thought the headlight housings were otherwise the same for both.

I'm in. Set aside some money from my tax check. Seems like a good investment.

Unfortunately we don't really have the time or means of funding to advertise... we are very small and spend most of our time and money on product development/testing (typically for FD parts as we are FD guys). We are also going against the $75 plug and play junk. Without raising the price point on these kits, I think it's just got to be a word of mouth sort of thing to get them off the ground. Thanks to everyone for hanging with us through this rough phase in the project! I think what we need to do is get a prototype kit to a local guy with an FC/FB snap some pics, and have them review using the lights themselves in the FC and or FB sections. That may generate some interest.

Unfortunately, people see the $75 bullshit and think it's awesome and don't understand the optics of a lighting system. All they see is brightness.
Like car stereos. All people see is wattage and don't understand frequency response...
Unfortunately either without a massive price reduction or a massive spike in the public's IQ as a whole, I don't think this'll see much more interest.
We all know how much faith I have in most people's intelligence.
Looks like it's time to find unfluted glass 6054 headlights, a pair of OEM BiXenon projectors, and some industrial grade sealant...
Or put up with $20 Sylvania headlights forever, which is the more likely route since building these things is gonna take time and effort... Sending y'all some money woulda really take care of that.

I'm tentatively in, as long as I don't get my 'vert apart to find she needs more work than I'm expecting.

Once you develop a mold for 6054 (Rectangle, FC) sealed beams, how much harder would it be to change it for 6024 (Round, FB/SA) sealed beams?
Also, front lens material... Glass or plastic? Or perhaps Polycarbonate?

The mold for the 7" found is completely different than the rectangular one. The lenses are glass... we havent found a suitable housing w/ a plastic lens. If you happen to have any suggestions feel free to shoot me a PM.
