Maybe Saturn coupes may have been the last to get the word... <!-- emo&:screwy: -->(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)<!-- endemo -->
As I have said before, the "signal" light pods are a unique characteristic of the 914 design. Making them house headlights will give them a higher purpose than signaling and join the modern "smaller" lighting trend. This and using the existing headlight space where the radiators will mount are why I chose this location. Legal? We'll see if they figure it out... <!-- emo&:lol: -->(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)<!-- endemo --> the "rise and fall" of pop-up headlights: Attached image(s) |

Roger,
Actually had vacation time with the family and had to clean/organize my garage/workshop so I could find tools and parts. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) I spent a little time on the lights today. I think I have the mounting worked out coming off the existing "U" mount. Side to side will be more of a bend" adjustment but there shouldn't be much left to right (yaw). I got Bruce's filled lense and put them under a halogen light. It's heavy and the now convex lense didn't quite survive the shipping. I can't fit it because I have the Hella positioned "into" the concave part of the original lense. It's a test piece anyway and was planned to be sacrificed. If it works I have a new clear lense to fill. I notice all imperfections show so I think the lense will have to be crystal clear with no raised lettering or features. Here's an example of one from a track car where the owner had a communication signal bulb mounted in one of them. I forget if the lense is flat. I will first mold a nice bezel and a lense cover later. That will assure they have good Hella optics. The Hellas are sealed and weatherproof already. There are alot of cars where people would put the covers on for looks (Alfa Duettos, 240Z's, Camaros) Attached image(s) |
