If I was to remove a pair of pop-up lights and swap in a fiberglass hood that does not have the headlight cut-outs...... could you install lights in the fog light cut out ion the bumper with lights that would work well as headlights???
Street use.... although I almost never drive at night. I know this is done for race applications where the pop-up delete saves weight, etc. Just not sure it's a good idea for the street. .... wondering because of a few opportunities that have presented themselves. Cheers! |

I think you've got it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
It would take some experimentation, but shortening the actuating arm looks like it would do the trick.  |
