So 10 years ago I designed a low profile popup headlight kit using the Hella 90mm housings. Didn't have the all tools to produce them. Now I do. But times have changed and bi-xenon housings are readily available. Plus, 1 will do the job of 2 and fit A LOT neater.
Package would include a pair of FX-R bi-xenon projectors, custom powder-coated headlight structures, formed lexan shrouds, and a few other pieces to make it a quality product. Raised headlight height will be about 1/2 stock. (Sleepy eyes for you s13 owners lol) Price will be about $350-400. You will still need D2S bulbs and ballasts. New kits run about $70 for DDM, $160 for Morimoto, and $250 for Philips & Mitsu OEM stuff. Also been working on a design for the turn signal location. Hi Felix (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) Using the Mini projectors, LED panels for the park/turn lights, Lexan cover, housing. Hoping to get the D2S version to fit so it can use the Awesome and Almost as Awesome bulb/ballast setups. Still labor intensive enough to put the price in the $350-400 range. LASTLY Also brainstormed a LED replacement for the side marker. Less wart, more pimple lol. Looking to be about $100/pr if the idea pans out. |

Questions to date...
Pics- I find the brainstorming part fun, lots of doodles, sourced components I would use, but haven't invested the many hours or dollars to prototype it or jigs. Probably 2 weeks for the frame and another 2 weeks for the molding bucks. Plus a week for the hard parts to get here. Motors- Uses stock motor setup. Just needed to change lever geometry. Fog lights- Got a PM about adding fog lights to the popups. Anyone else into that possibility? Original Hella fitting.
