Should Radioflyer Innovations make a Low-rise Headlight kit?

Minor update:
I'm working on modifying the existing design of the Light Cannon 2.0 Frames to work with the low-rise design. This lightweight Aluminum frame will ease some of the weight associated with other low-rise kits that use a steel frame.
Also, we're expecting a sample of a new high-power LED bulb for the high beam that does NOT require a cooling fan. I anticipate the LED bulb will be an upgrade option and we will keep the Halogen high beam standard to keep the base price of the kit down.

Good news, I was able to modify the design from the original Light Cannon headlights to accomidate the new design. (saves a substantial amount of R&D time) I've updated the original post so you can all keep track of progress of development.

GP will begin once I have the rough-mold for the shroud made. I want people to have a good idea of what they're going to get. It seems the shroud seems to be the most trying part of these headlights. I don't want to sell the idea of an incomplete product.

Mr Radio flyer. This is off the subject but do you think your lense for the stealth cannons would fit the breathless headlights. I like the design of your lenses. I will buy a set if you think they will.

Update:
Using the original Light cannon headlights as as reference, the factory headlight rises 6 5/8" above the edge of the bumper (point of reference centered on the high beam)
The "Luminator" headlights are projected to rise just 3.5". This allows the headlight light to be almost level with the ground and actually angled slightly downward allowing for MUCH less drag and less turbulence in addition to a unique look.
So far all my R&D has been using a passenger side bracket, but I forgot to check my spare headlight which is in fact a driver's side. I expect to have prototype pictures of the parts on-car and many parts design's finalized by the end of this week.
