I have not been impressed with the recessed retangler headlights but if these lights wer closer to the bodyline and covered I would be intersted. I have given some thought to installing lights in the front grill of my '79 but I do not care to be the lab rat that finds out how low the local law will allow before ticketing.

Are you talking about mounting projectors in the grill?

Document it and then send it to corvettefaq.com cause chances are someone else will want to know how to do it.

You might want to contact holley425HP (he's a new member here), he is doing the same thing.His car had the rectangular recessed lights and he's doing what you want to do also. Don't think he has started on it yet, he does have the bulbs. It should look cool, round recessed lights are nice.
