the pop up headlight , can it be modifed, keep it , tweak it , clear cover , what has and is being done Options

[thelogo]

I personally feel it's a unique cool ,old ,stylish character adding factory to these cars

But I know other s think otherwise , don't think any modern cars have em .

Acura N s x used too but phased it out .

How can a 914 headlight be reworked .

And is it legal to just use the lower fog light ? Position as a headlights and never turn on the
Pop ups




Everyone please sound off at least on your opinion of these headlights and

Any mods done to them

I think someone used 300ZX headlights, which are still pop-ups but are shorter than the stock ones. So they only need to come up halfway.

I'm sure that it required a bunch of work, though.

shorter arm off the motor would do the trick I think....not sure.
I need to go play around with the setup and see if its possible with the same motor etc, but smaller headlights.

I would think you would also need to shorten the connecting arm too. At least that's what my armchair engineering tells me.
Here's what I got so far,,, I still need to make a clear lexan covers, but the light output looks great. The lights open about 1/2 way,, I use the manual knobs with the HL relays pulled, but I think if I modify the stock HL linkage a bit, the lights will work like stock. I'm looking for a local machinist that will do small jobs.

How I mocked up my lights,,,
