rear ends
hoods

:werd But its not that the GA headlights are poorly designed, cuz I actually like them...... but you can't get the amber out and I think thats why we should get some aftermarket headlights. And maybe a couple more choices for tail lights too.

Headlights (projector or angle eye like the BMW). (500 to 600 a pair)
Bolt on kit for lambo door conversion. (400 to 500)
Full SS style Ram Air hood.
More carbon fiber options (hood, trunk lid, spoilers, chin spoilers...)

I dont think anybody could pay me enough to make them headlights, I think Magyver could relate to that also Dave and Seth as well as some others ....

Putting it lightly its a major pita as i have stated before.

But they look sooo friggin good....has anyone done a write up with what materials and the procedure you guys did to make them???

Sorry for the off topicness.

thanks, well its one of those projects thats theres basically no correct or one way to do it therefore its kind of hard to do a write up. About the only thing you can do a write up for on the project is the wiring (maybe)

Its basically you cut a hole into the rear of the headlight just large enough to fit the projector into, Mount the projector (theres diffrent methods of mounting all depends on your projector) Get the projectors aimed correctly in the housings basically before you mount them permentally or its hell to pay. Make or buy a shroud to cover the projector and find a way to mount it (creativity and personal preference there) Finish the headlight up by making a trim ring out of something to cover the rest of the projector area up ( that also depends on your shroud and personal preference) Then seal the rear of the headlight up air tight and then put the lense on and seal it up air tight.

Then you get to put your headlight in and find out it doesnt have enough clearance so you get to cut out all that crap behind your headlight. Lucklly most of it is plastic although some metal. Depending on the depth and how you mounted your projector determines whether or not you get to cut metal out and its a PITA let me tell you. Then mount your ballasts in the ballast covers not letting them touch metal and the fun part of the wiring the lights up begins. Negative trigger is a PITA as well...

Def sounds like a fun time lol. What did you use for projectors? I heard of someone using the honda kit or whatever.

Im running Valeo ECE spec projectors. ECE = european basically.
