I've seen a couple of examples of 1st Gen's that have had the stock single round headlight replaced with two smaller halogen lights. In one case, the motor assembly was also modified to prevent the headlight assembly from coming up so high.



Does anyone kow of someone who has this already done in a kit form?



Thanks.

I'm not, i'm just saying the bay must be easy to work on as clean as it is.The FD is and always will be a beast.

I'm thinking about designing and building my own. I don't like the one's I saw, and they're too expensive (for us Canadians anyways...). I have access to a fabrication shop, so I could probably come up with something fairly nice.



Will let you know.
