Re: Exposed headlights. (ylose)
Thanks guys.....
More positive comments than I expected, sometimes this can be a rough crowd :lol: :lol: :jester.
I never knew if I would like them or not. I figured anything that would add more angles and surfaces for my paint to change colors on the better.
I have a template built for the clear covers, but don't know if I will add them or not. Will need to figure out a good way to mount them if I do.
Thanks for your input and the :cheers: :cheers:
Will be making more changes in the not so distant future. :D :D :D :cheers: :cheers:

Re: Exposed headlights. (DaBo)
After showing the new headlights to my fellow club members at a show today, I have decided NOT to put on the clear covers. My idea was too add more lines and angles for the paint to change colors on. I think if I put the covers on, it will defeat that purpose.
Thanks for checking this out and adding your comments.
Next pics...........W H E E L S !!!!!
ylose....nice car, good color :D :D :yesnod:
grandsportC3....wish I could have found out how your lights were installed. Very unique setup. I would have liked to do mine that way. Covers on those should be easy.
I still have the template for my covers..may go ahead and make some to see what it takes. I thought about making some painted metal ones to really mess people up. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Re: Exposed headlights. (GrandSportC3)
Can you post or E me some pics of your lights???
I remember a thread awhile back when you were attempting to figure them out. Are they fiberglass? How are they mounted? Is it possible that they are the fiberglass exposed lights cut and trimmed to fit on the front opening. That is what I thought of doing with mine. But figured if I messed up it would be expensive to fix the mistake.

Re: Exposed headlights. (DaBo)
They look really sweet! I installed quite few of those headlight conversion kits way back in the early 80s. About half of them were installed without the covers. I used the fiberglass kits that were bonded on. I never received any complaints. In fact, my wife's 77 had a set. She liked them alot.

Re: Exposed headlights. (GrandSportC3)
They almost look like they were just taken off of another vehicle.
IF you do ever take it apart again look for a part number. Never know what you might find.

Re: Exposed headlights. (DaBo)
I have the part numbers: I wrote them down when I took the assembly apart.
The part number on the Bezel reads:
Right Bezel: C BC PT 355306 RH 8
Left Bezel: 355306 A 2
I actually posted those numbers a while back to find out where they came out of but nobody knew...
:cheers:
