Here are three pictures of the beam at night. They aren,t the best but they should give a little idea of what the beam looks like. I used the night function on the digital camera so they are a little blurry. The first is low beam without fog lights on the second is with fog lights on and the third is high beam with foglights on.

Even if you put in some other flush mounts these lens are well worth what Kris charges. Put mine in tonight.
Excellent product.

here's a question... what if someone wanted to buy just the lights/brakets/wiring/covers without the fiberglass peice? would that lower the cost substantally or would you not sell it that way?

KEWL!........ they look great and thank god they are real HL's and not fog lamps AND adjustable. I thought about doing it that way, but thankfully you actually did it. I'm not a lover of recessed lights, but these look awesome. Good luck and Peace.

I'd just like to say that Kris is an AWESOME guy.

I had some problems with my first set of headlight buckets, the fiberglass had bent a bit and would not fit properly. He walked me through many fixes, before coming to the conclusion that I needed new buckets. He then sent me a new set of painted buckets, absolutely free, even the shipping! I'm a happy happy customer, and wouldn't hesitate to buy from this guy again. Thanks Kris!

I think the kit looks great and would like to buy a complete kit as soon as you have one ready. I have tried to send you an email but I did not get a response.

Please let me know what needs to be done to order the kit.

Thank you,
Marty

First hand knowledge of an accident with my head lights up.
When I went under the back end of the SUV her bumper caught my headlights and pushed the hood into my windshield.
If I had non-pop up headlights I think there would have been less damage. If there is enough money after I fix my car I’m going to buy this kit.

I got a set of these from Kris last month. They installed in less than two hours (with a breakfast break in the middle). I've got some small adjustments to make, but my brother-in-law has been driving the car so I haven't had a chance to aim the lights correctly. Overall I'm very happy with the kit and they look great. If I get some time before Daytona, I may actually paint the buckets.

I just wanted to drop a comment about driving lights. I recently bought a pair of Hella Optilux model 1300 driving lights (round with clear lens) to augment the low beams. The Hellas have long range, focused beams... and they're powerful! They do an excellent job of filling in the dead spots in the low beams. Plus, the Hellas lay down a bright swath of light in front of the car. I highly recommend them.

But there's a catch. The Hella 1300's are 3.5" diameter... larger than the grille openings in an aero nose. I had already performed a "big-mouth" mod to the grille, so there was enough space for the light to come out.

Holy crap! Was that easy!

Kris! Bravo - outstanding job!!!

Wiring took about 5 min. Headlight set up about 45 (including reversing the plugs on the pass side lights)

Only thing that takes time is the "fiddling" to get the fit right between hood/bucket/bracket..

Might back fill the "bucket with some touch up fiberglass but all in all love this mod!

Was that price with lights? I would want the kit without the lights themselves as I have a friend at the local junkyard that can get them for me really cheap. Do you have any contact info to get ahold of the guy selling these kits? I would really appreciate it as I have tried email with no response.

Thanks,

Kevin

Everybody wanting headlights. I have been having some troubles getting the technique down on forming the lenses. I am no longer having them formed by someone else. I am also having to attend GM training classes that are taking away what little spare time I have because I have to go to Atlanta for the classes. The training will be done just before Christmas. I hope to be able to get some kits ready for those who contacted me over the last few months but I can't promise how many I will be able to get made. If everyone can be patient I WILL get the kits made. I apologize for the long delays in getting them done.
Thanks!
