I'm looking for the Lemans headlights also. Only place I've heard that can get them is Guldstrand. I have a call into them, but keep playing phone tag with them.

I just got off the phone with Guldstrand. They appear to get them from another unknown vendor. Current pricing is 599 for the buckets and covers or 299 for just the covers. Sounds like the kit is kindof on the rough side like it takes some fitting and finishing to make a show quality installation out of it.

I sure would like to see a picture of the piece parts.

SWEET! I love the factory pop ups, but these LeMans look cool too. Dont know if I'd change, but if I did I wouldn't mind that look at all. :cool:

Don't like the "flat" style AT ALL. Never did. :nono:
