HID headlights in the pods for Neo914, Pop-up headlights are not in the plans.. Options

[neo914-6]

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 -->

Thom [/QUOTE] Haven't found anything here to get me in legal trouble, the bottom of the signal lense is 22". Besides, I will make them look "factory". Maybe NHTSA has more restrictions..
