Convette Posted May 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 got one done. Its a light bronze tint. Trial and error I guess. It really helps tone down the lights so they are not so ridiculous. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/1273022673.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D_Venable Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I built those for my Drift bumper with 3 inputs, one line of white for "parking lights" another line of white for the "fogs", and a third line yellow for signals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convette Posted May 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 still need a little polishing, and yeah my bumper is falling off cause its just sitting in there, but you get the idea. The headlights are going to be the same bronze tint as the fogs. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/1273197470.jpghttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/1273197288.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convette Posted May 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 not much progress, but I'm finally getting a transmission this weekend! Also rebuilt my headlight buckets to clean then up and simplify them a bit. Also designed some adjustment into them, as everyones been bothering me about it...lol. Should have the tunnel buttoned up by next week...paint, a liitle wiring and I'm on the road!! ahaha..http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/1273974932.jpghttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/1274191985.jpghttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/1274361178.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convette Posted May 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 got one headlight done, adjustment and paint complete. Going to wait to seal it untill I'm done with the other side. Weighs aprox. 2-3lbs per side with the ballasts. Not bad considering what the stock junk weighs. http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/1274404711.jpghttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/1274404823.jpghttp://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w239/johnboy9788/1274404852.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
