New Headlight Conversion w/ Pics
 
new headlights are installed, i used 2 sets of fog lights, 2 15"x5" pieces of plywood painted black and some misc. bolts lol, i can do a complete write up if anyone wants, i have GTS Clear headlight covers on the way and that will complete the project:) CLICK TO ENLARGE

Great odens raven... why in the hell would you do something like that to an otherwise nice looking car? And WOOD? Are you serious? You used WOOD on your CAR? **** man , ricers dont even usually stoop THAT low.

Tsar 06-04-2006 04:47 PM

i gotta agree... plywood wtf mate? :scratch:

qwikz28 06-04-2006 05:13 PM

be careful with foglights. foglights are made to light up very short distances and you will not be able to see more then a few feet ahead of you. hence the name FOGlights. looks good though

misterjuice 06-04-2006 05:18 PM

IMHO.........stock lights FTW

camaro2you 06-04-2006 06:24 PM

i like your ida man but not my style. thumbs up though.

BonzoHansen 06-04-2006 06:40 PM

Is that legal?

Savage_Messiah 06-04-2006 06:49 PM

Not my thing personally, but looks pretty clean, my only concern would be hwo effective they are

NJSPEEDER 06-04-2006 07:38 PM

i kinda like it. i woudl like to see how brite the lights are though.
the stock 3rd gen light area is cluttered with ****, you can see the brackets and all the screws in stock trim. this cleans that up a lot.
i would suggest trying to replicate the wood portion with sheet metal though. i can see the wood rotting/splitting/cracking and letting the lights flop around.

I can't help but check out that Mustang II parked on the side. Man, I can't remember the last time I saw one of those! :)

maroman88 06-04-2006 08:21 PM

yea i have mixed opinions too, but they light up pretty well and once i get the clear GTS light covers that will cover up the whole pocket they wont look like they stick out as far i think they'll look better. ive seen people do this on there 93-97 camaros and it looked pretty good n i wanted to try it. As far as the wiring, these pluged almost right into the factory sockets, i just have to add a wire to the low beams so they go on with the high beams. And i dont know the first thing about cuttin or using sheet metal and the plywood was free and thats what really counted lol

Savage_Messiah 06-04-2006 08:22 PM

That mustang is 80 HP of fury, right?? :lol:

maroman88 06-04-2006 08:24 PM

88HP lol yup, plus the smog pump delete! and alllll the mustang decals

enRo 06-04-2006 09:36 PM

Its ok.. I personally would've gone with some kinda bigger ones, or the Halo Squares. To each their own. Must've been a pain to install.

COOL! Dayum I'm old...I remember thinking the Cobra IIs were the hot shiznit when they were brand new!

maroman88 06-04-2006 10:25 PM

noah, i agree but i didnt wanna spend big bucks cuz i didnt know how it was gunna turn out, so i just bought the cheapest/best looking ones for the money, i wasnt about to hack up an expensive set and then it not work. once i get some more money ill upgrade to sumthin a little bigger and brighter, BTW i dont drive this car to often so im not worried about practicality

those Cobra II's are sooooo funny but they sure did make this ugly body style actually look nice

Teds89IROC 06-05-2006 06:12 AM

I dont like em that much, I agree with Boon, the stock look FTW! Maybe do the H4 upgrade instead

~Ted

maroman88 06-05-2006 07:21 AM

already had the H4 and my wiring didnt like them

LS1Hawk 06-05-2006 11:51 AM

I like the stock look better.

jola 06-05-2006 12:41 PM

interesting idea. as it stands now, i like stock more, but i have to see this when you install the covers and diminish some of that gap. i think it looks more agressive this way.

Tru2Chevy 06-05-2006 02:06 PM

Eh. I would not want to use cheap foglights to light the way in front of me. I bet they won't shine nearly as far as a properly aimed set of stock headlights.

H4 conversion FTW!

Looks like a squinting china man.

Nice idea, but not my thing either.
