There were the 1st gen Camaros, and I think the 70-era Charger, which had doors that flipped open to let the headlights be visible.

Personally I like the stock design with just a better bulb system, I run the Diamond Cut reverse lite H4 conversion in my 88GT and love it. However here is another members choice in systems. The buckets only move up slightly over 1/2 way and he has the option of running 2 or 4 bulbs plus the lower lights are a triple system with 3 bulbs in each. (Turn Signal, Driving Light and Fog Light)

omg that nose is beautiful mate!

I say phooey to headlight conversions to get away from popups. Anything that can be used to maim stray pedestrians who dare cross my path has gotta be a good thing!

Although really, I'm just a big fan of the sleek stealthy appearance popups give... and the cheerful frog appearance the Fiero has with the headlights on. If I was to do any headlight conversion, it'd be F1F buckets tops.

In recent times, the custom aftermarket car/automobile roadwheel has become a status symbol. These wheels are often incorrectly referred to as "rims". The term "rim" is incorrect because the rim is only the outer portion of a wheel (where the tire is mounted

I don't think that's Capt's car. I believe it's Clynt's car.

Yep that is Clynt's car. The nose is not done by a long shot, he is not even sure exactly what he wants the finished product to look like.

Yeah, the crazy part is-they look better than stock. I'm still looking for the video on this car. I know you mentioned it was featured on Chop, Cut, Rebuild, but I can't find it. I like to know if the small individual lights are driving lights? They do look 100% better than stock Celica headlamps.

I am thinking they are purposely running it a season behind because the cars were to debut this year at SEMA. They keep promising more of the vettes each week, but so far have showed only small snippets. A bit frustrating.

Hey guys not sure if you guys are aware of CinCity Designs, but these guys make custom lights; they have a huge selection to choose from! I'm planning on fitting the celica lights on my 87 fb.

I would advise staying away from anything to do with CinCity... they are well known by the 350Z community for scamming and taking peoples money with shitty to no product returned.

NIce... errrr... headlights!

Audi are not mounted, but you get the idea where I'm headed.



If you can imagine for a moment-the aluminum piece will be chromed thus blending the two parts and adding a bit of non-kit-car flow.



The desired goal is simple: USE YOUR BRAIN, IMAGINATION, & TWEAK IT BEFORE YOU BOLT IT.

Who's headlight system is that? This is what I want to install.

Dual 90mm hellas. They really outperform everything else and really make the car more agressive looking.

quote Originally posted by timgray: Dual 90mm hellas. They really outperform everything else and really make the car more agressive looking.

True, the lights do look aggressive, but the lamps suffer the same faith as Vertical doors. Their are only viewed in the up position (dusk or dawn). In the down position nobody knows you have them.

I really like the small S-10 rectangulars. It has a better than factory, "factory look" with the reduced opening height. Anyone else done this one?

This is all a matter of personal taste.
You have to ask yourself why you are modifying your lights.
Performance or styling?
Hidden headlights are a cornerstone of the stock Fiero look.
Flush mounted headlights are a modern thing.
If you are ready to cut on your car and install them,
You have tons more performance lighting options.

me, I like pop-ups


What makes the Hella 90mm low beam so superior to stock is it's projector optics.
I am using 60mm Hella modules.
The lens is actually larger than the 90mm.
The fundamental limitation of pop-ups is that are very few projectors that will fit.

Nice. Are they DOT legal?

Yes, the 60mm Hella projector modules are DOT 107 legal and are clearly marked.
You can see the lettering on the plastic in the above photo.

One cool thing about this fixture is that you can legally run a new type of bulb,
the Halogen Infrared (HIR).
