Didn't see any pic of them in the link. How do you know there the proper ones, by the vehicle description?

Found some others that look like could work...

I am too busy with engine swaps and wiring harnesses right now. However winter is coming and I could build sets for people over the winter. Drop me a PM and we can talk.

Joe it was great meeting you at FieroFest.
You are rightfully proud of your cars.

Your headlights are the lowest profile set-up I have seen.
They look most excellent.

If you want to try to fit a Hella 60 or 90mm low beam projector outboard,
I have ABS seconds with the correct adjuster layout you can cut up to you hearts content.

hairballrm I might take you up on that offer. I would like to see if I could get a projector in my light units.

Hi Joe, I recently joined this forum. I have an 88 gt since 1998 and I've been contemplating some mods. Searching this forum I found yours, and I'm very impressed ! How many inches do they rise measured form top of lid to bottom of hood. Do you also have detailed directions to eliminate the guess work.

Regards

John

The unit is plastic and I cut it and a headlight bucket to make the the unit fit like this





And a comparision of one old and one new.



Now all I have to do is finish the other side. More pictures to follow. Let me know what you all think.

The headlight mods look excellent. I might do the mod( if it was easy) but at the same time I hardly drive my Fieros in the dark of the evening.

Something to consider. I did the mod early on when he first started posting. After one winter I realized the lights them selves sucked and I was blind at night. Jury rig the wiring and tape them to the hood of your car and see if you like the light pattern. I converted mine back to smaller rectangular lights.

Any way to switch the lights in the housing to get the low beams on the outside? I'm guessing you just can't place the unit on the other side f the car.

You just wire the lights the way you want and swap the bulbs.

Great mod "Fieroking", I'm going to do this over the winter.

Also wondering, where did you get the hood louvers from or what are they off of?

I fiberglassed mine into the hood like 2 years ago and they still work great. And are way brighter than any bulb I tried in the original lights.

Is there anyone who has a complete set that are basically bolt in ready? Or anyone that could build a set? I'd be interested in buying a set.
