I would love to see some pictures of the cable release head lights. I would be willing to do it to my car if somebody wants to help with fabrication. the idea of losing another electical system off of my car is good. Pictures please?

I've got a kit drawn out but need my car to get it perfect. I plan to have a kit soon and it will allow the lights to go up and down all from the cockpit; I don't think you want to go out in the rain and lower your lights everytime they are up. It has no struts and thus is lighter than the GT kit. Yes, it is to eliminate the electrical stuff of the original setup and thus reducing weight. I would not make a kit unless it surpassed all previous designs, bolts directly to the existing holes of the electric setup, is a complete bolt on no brainer installer, and will be very affordable. Did I mention cheap?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Some things are worth the wait and this is one of them.
