When I say standard I mean the original headlights not the twin light conversion. Has anybody had these blended in on their car or seen one with it done?

Any PhotoShop wizards like to have a go?

When you say blended in do you mean blending the pod line in, or do you mean covering the light like the Griff/T350?

Presumably you prefer the old lights to the conversion style?....my guess is that its a professional job to blend the lights, like mine that i had done recently...and involved a front end repaint, so if your thinking of just a cost cutting exercise then i dont think you are going to be saving a huge amount retaining old lights...

If you blend in the pod line you would not be able to replace the lens or the reflector , David

Ahhh, wondered if there was a reason. Thanks! Hang on, what about the new light conversions then?

In answer to the other comments, I was thinking about it purely for aesthetic reasons (not cost) and yes I prefer the old lights to the new ones. Prefer my newly acquired 17" alloys from the 4.5 Cerbera to the spiders too. Each to their own I suppose.

Agreed. I think the "old" lights give that classic British sportscar look, like old Lotuses and Austin Healeys

Would be nice if they made lights like the Porsche 993 with two lights in a round clear lense eg...

Oh and blended the pod!

I know what you mean on the lights Steven, One of my other custoemrs with a Silver cerb had just had his lights done on the front, 4500 L/W style and the he says the cars looks even better than he had hoped for.
