Upgraded Front Lights
Discussion
I changed to a smaller diameter headlight mounted on a circular carbon disc - mainly because the 7" headlights have a tendency to smash in a relatively light contact when the bonnet flexes. With the lights mounted on a flat panel the panel flexes rather than the headlamp. If you are starting with a new bonnet with the headlamp recesses not cut out then I would just ount them in the centre of that.
Other than that I'm not aware that anyone has done anything with them

Andy - Yes starting from a new bonnet, I was thinking of three tube type lights under perspex, looking at buying a light unit off a T350 which has an opening at the base of the unit for an air vent, maybe the vent would come is useful for the brakes as removing the air intake from the bonnet and taking in air from the front of the bonnet (not too sure how its all going to work yet).Other than that I'm not aware that anyone has done anything with them
Personally I wouldn't mess with it. As it is it is a Tuscan. If you start putting T350 lights on it, it starts being something else. A bit like the Griffs and Chimaera's with later Tuscan style lights, they just don't look right (to me). Why don't you just tint the headlamp covers and put any old lights under them?

I know what you mean, I really am trying to keep the Tuscan look, as I really like it, the only part of it I dont like is the single round head lamp visible through the perspex, If I could tint the perspex, I think that would be the answer.
