Rotary Run Racing Headlights

Hi,

Does anyone happen to know where I can get some Roary Run Racing lights? I know the company seems to be out of business but is anyone making replicas these days or any used ones out there? Thanks

RotaryExtreme used to have them, but that dosent help you much since they are no longer. I would try FDnewbe, he seems to be able to get his hands on hard-to-find parts.

Here is the best picture I can find ofthe Run Racing lights (BTW, that is the Run hood as well - I wish someone would make a copy of it!)

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. I have actually e-mialed him and filled out his request form on his website but no reply yet. I didn't know if he was out of twon or just backed up. Do you know Ramy? Or have a better way to get in touch? I actually want to buy several items from FDNewbie but I just can't get in touch. If I don't find some soon I may have to settle for keeping the lights stock.

lol not only does the front bumper have to be cut, you have to cut a good portion of the frame, the bracket sucks so i had to modify that, AND i had to sand where it touched the fender. Heres some more pics, it will look better when it comes back from paint

Thanks for the heads up. Although with the luck I am having finding a set I probably won't ever find out. Unless I steal one. Where do you live again?

Yours looks good though. Once you get paint on 'er she'll be a beaut.

Good light from those things. Are those the HIDs? You know Chuck's cousin makes replicas of those lights (he has none right now) and ShineAuto said they could make some too if they have enough interest. I am probably just too inpatient to wait for them to make 'em. Oh well

I just sold a set of these housings not too long ago. Anyway, if you do get a set of the housings, I have 2 sets of PIAA lights that fit into the openings. They are brand spankin new. If you need them, let me know.

Thanks for the offer. I'll let you know. At this point I am having a hard time finding these headlights

Yeah it sucks they don't make 'em anymore. I talked to Shine Auto and they are looking into having some made if they can get a set to copy from a friend and also if interest is there. They said they needed 25 people min. Also, rotaryextreme said his cousin makes these lights replica but doesn't currently have anymore right now.

But Chucks cousin only makes the housing (replica). So that leaves you to custom make the brackets yourself or pay a fabricator up the wazoo with a kazoo. Those lights look like they were made for the car and since it cuts in to the bumper, the beam isn't blocked and the lights don't have to tick up like frog eyes.

If he could make the brackets then people would be interested but not sure about 25 though. I think it's a hate it or love style plus the added expense for fitment.
