Reply to "Pop up headlights, better solution?"

Mikael, I built steel inserts for 60cm lights for my car. They are the smallest lights I could find that were approved for street use in the U.S. I know there are a lot of lights that light up the road way better than the stock lights in our cars but if something ever happened I would be in deep shit if the lights weren't legal. I built them out of a single piece of 20ga steel and there was very little cutting of the light buckets (a little in the corners of the top of the stock circles and can be re-straightened easily and returned to stock). One of my big concerns whenever I try new things with my car is that I can return it to stock easily and it has to be showable. The second is that it functions better or is faster on the track(or roads if chasing one of our Canadian friends). Hella dosen't make a dual beam 60cm light. It would still be the same height if there were one or two next to each other; it still isn't perfectly level but it's real close. The lights are so much brighter than stock that it's scary to think I was driving with the stock ones. I have all winter here to try new things with my car and some thing work and some things don't(air dam I will try again next winter) but the lights rock. The light's are about $200.00 dallors US for all four but the rest is just time and a little material. If I was to do it again I would not take the buckets out. The hardest part was to get them back in and adjusted to fit and close right. Here's a picture of what they look like if you want more info let me know.
