Crazydragon,
Hey man nice work, I just thought I would drop you a line here and let you know I am in Maryville, not far from ya.... I just recently got my first Fiero, and 86GT and I kidna joined the East Tennessee Fiero club. I could not officially join because shortly after I met them Rob had his terrible accident. Anyways, I like what you have done here... I am actually working on my own headlight mod. I am gonna try to recreate Fiero1fans dual 90mm hella lights setup. I am currently drawing it in cad and when I get some spare change I intend to machine the headlight bucket on my cnc mill and play with it until I get it to work. Before anyone flames me I DO NOT intend to make them for sale, just for my car so I can have that cool low profile look. Hell I cannot barely afford the lights let alone the bucket or harness... I am in the position that I gotta basically have to make it if I want something cool anymore.... Anyways, those lights look pretty cool and I am sure they are nice and bright. I really like the flush look but I just paid for my headlight motors to be rebuilt so I figure I will use them. Nice looking design there and nice looking bumperpad fiero too.... if ya ever get the itch to run around with another fiero guy look me up.... peace

Pete

nice to mt your accuatance.
Just to lt you know, Derick is ttrying to get somethings moved up here into JohnsonCity to help Rob out with some of hos projects and to keep them going so as not to lose any of his clients. This will be closer to their home and easir to work on things in his absence.
Just heads up, but yeah - would love to hang out, several of us Fiero guys up here in this area.\

Pardon me if this is a dumb question, but, are the headlights bi-xenon bulbs? Or how are you utilizing the stock high/low beam function? Looking at getting a set and was curious what setup you had? Thanks

Yes, I'll try and get them sometime tonight. But please keep in mind that I have NOT hooked up the HID to them yet. so for H3 bulbs they do quite well.

These can be used for fog lights, most people do and do not forget that they are still projector lights.

However, they run the same bulbs as regular headlights in cars like the new VW Beettles and other newer cars.

They are smaller more compact and can be in most cases more usefull.

Oh, and 2.5" is actually 63.5mm

But I'm glad that helped you.

OK, I can make a few of the trays a week, so about maybe 2 to 3 trays per week. I'm thinking about $50 shipped. trays are made of galvanized steel and are one piece. They are great for using the 63.5mm or 2 1/2 inch projectors. As you can see from the pictures above, they really look nice.
This is for the trays only.
They trays can be scratch so you can paint them what ever color you want or left unscratch and be just bare metal (very shiney).

Those are nice looking trays. How do you attach the leading edge? When I did up mine, I cut tabs on the front to go in the stock tab locations.
