front headlights

[ssc1]

has anyone tried modding their wedge and doing away with the pop up headlights and replace with faired in units ,thin ones as fitted to the mk2 mitsi gto, just an idea just wondered if it has been done as the popups look a bit odd.

often thought about it, burt never actually done it.

also thought of the lotus esprit rwin round style, and the BMW 840 style twin square

Did once see some tasmin racers that had removed the pods and put in 2 mini spots ,looked god bt needed finishing

Peter Wheeler did this with his factory car (the White Elephant) back in the late 80's. It was also adopted by Steve Heath for the 520 racer and the multi-lamp setup was being investigated by someone on here recently. It involved reducing the height that the pods lift to. The Esprit pods are wider; although they use the same motor they take two 5.75" sealed-beam lamp units.

I'm in the throws of putting in a set of 90mm Hella projector units for dip and 90mm refectors for main, will keep you posted...only concern is that the centre line of the lights will be below the legal limit...(500mm i think, can anyone confirm this???) ...thankfully i can adjust the ride height for the MOT!!!

Oh the bonnet hinge needs moving...I'm looking at using a pair of SD1 bonnet hinges.
