Yes I have done a search. The neo 914's hellas are about $700. I do not plan on driving this car at night and I have removed the factory headlight buckets . I would like some light to come on when I flip the switch so they appear legal.

I was planning on running one of those yellow bulbs for a running/turn light. I was thinking for "headlight" adjustment another small hole on the bottom of the bucket directly below the new lights housing. One long screw coming in from outside the bucket housing and a couple of small screws on the "light" housing....or just point them where I want them (by hand with the lexan cover off) and squirt some seam sealer under the light to hold them. Probably good enough for a track car!

Probably good enough for a track car! http://www.ebay.com/itm/LED-MINI-STALK-MOT...09938%26ps%3D54 how about something like this for the turn signals? maybe remove/modify the housing to allow the lens to be jammed up near the top edge... how are you going to shape the lexan? I've been looking into using a pair of 60mm Hella Hi/Lo projectors in the buckets, modifying the lift to halfway, but I'd rather go with the turn signal mounting location instead... keep us updated.. |
