What i'm seeing here is if perhaps you set back your lamps to allow more clearance, and ventillate using the heat created to draw cool air into the cavity, you might have something.

Roger,
The problem with recessing the lights is the width of the beam may be cut off in the forward center of the car. It's probably why headlight housing covers are much wider than the actual lamp. I had lunch with Mueller today and he said there is a glass blower in town, near where I used to live. Once he gets his foundry together he may be able to mold an aluminum form so glass can be blown into it... |

hi
what seems to be the problem??? i planed on installing hids too on my car. cutting a hole in the headlight and put it there. seems there is tons of room to stick the balast. i got the hids without the projector but just the h7 fitting. |

Finally chose an LED signal light which will help finalize the package. They are small and used in motorcycles...
I've been conversing with a plastic molder and got a quote from Tony's injection molder connection for the lense. If I went to production how many people will want to use them for headlights or just clear signal lights? It's a big tooling investment so I'll have to (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) this awhile.... Attached image(s)

One more option is on the new Corvettes. I had read about your project and while my son and I were walking around at the Petit LeMans at Road Atlanta a few months back, I saw the NSX and the Corvette and snapped these pics for you. The set up on the Corvette is not as "diamond-shaped" as the NSX.

Felix,
I'd be in for a set as long as they where half-way reasonable on cost. |

Thanx for this thread.
I am looking for headlights for my project. Pop ups are not on the menu. Looking for projector headlights in the stock location. Mar7ck |

Anyone see the narrow stacked lites on the Guigiaro GG 50 in this month's Road and Track (Jan/06)? Remake of Ferrari 612 Scaglietti--very narrow fender peak;kinda looks like what you're after-imagine the cost! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

Yes, I did but I couldn't find an available stacked array like that. Those designers have a very large budget so I'm trying to find affordable parts to adapt... Attached image(s)

Trial fitted the LED signal lights in the pod. The signal is Amber, this pic shows the reflecting flash. Good fit, now I can finalize the mounting and finish bezel...

Do you have a photo from the side? Are the lights flush with the housing or do they stick out where you need a hump to get over the lens? We throw out the lenses from the 737 wing tip position lights when they crack and its thick plexi that has a nice curve in it of you can also get a large flat chunk out of it. I was thinking of doing covers out of these over recessed lights in the stock location with the flat part of the lens. I figure if they can hold up to the breaze flying at around 500 MPH they should be able to take anything I can throw at them. |
