Two feet (24") for front headlamps in CA (I think). The CHP usually pull over youngsteers for quick harassment checks at various car shows. The CHP or local police deptments drum up sums of money by going through a list, and one of them is headlamps. On the other hand, your fog lamps can be lower but, I don't know "how much lower" or just how many?

Thanks for posting my Headlight setup. I have had them working for about 4 months now and still am amazed at how much light the put out compared to the originals. Also I really like not having the big wind flaps sticking up in my field of vison. Several poeple hhave commented that it looks like the lights are getting cutoff because they don't come up high enough. Belive me the cutoff is so close to the car that you can't even see it.

Hi,
I have a local fiero owner from the GTA Fiero Club, trying out some HID's for me in his car. He already has the H4 converssiom and I purchased a 8000K H4 HID kit with HID low beam and Xenon high beam. I should be getting them in Wed's or Thur's. he'll try them out and let me know how well they work.... this might be a different alternative in brighter lighting.

Blah, blah, blah, I know I covered this subject before with the Celica headlamps, but thats old news now since we know it can be done. And thanks to all who helped photo-shop'd it and gave comments regarding it (positve or negitive).



Oh, oh.....it's too late, the madness has started.

Hmm. Somebody w/photoshop skills???

Can you photoshop extend the front window over the top hood area so that it resembles Orville's front window. I like the curviture of his vs. the original one. Make it so that the center area of the hood has a C-shape. Thanks.

Examples:

I was going to do something fancy with my car like low profile duals on each side, but after seeing how great the H4 xenons worked on another fiero, i went that route. Now if they had only sent me 2 good xfomers Id really be happy, have both high beams but only one low beam. Thats what i get for buying something new and not going the junk yard route.... hey wait a min... isent that backwards? They were from best4shop.com/HD Still trying to get a response from them.

Too lazy to go back and see if anyone posted this one yet, but i was walking to my car the other day and parked next to me was an Infinnity G35.



The headlamps looked really good and got me wondering, would they fit in a fiero ?? The slope is not as extreme as it appears in the picture which made me wonder if they might work.



They remind me somewhat of the celica lamps, but a bit different.



Thoughts ?

Since the last 3-years we've come a long way baby. Are they're anymore "Headlamp" ideas floating around out there?

Silver importish Fiero Fastack with Celica headlamps.....2003-4?
Redux.... 4/24/2004
#020 Corvette C6 headlamps...Jan 2006
Troyboy's NSX...8-04-2006
Bobby C's Notchback creation...2007?

I think the celica's give you the best bang for your buck.
