Snake Skinner Headlights
Anyone have good pictures of snake skinner headlights? Or something like it? I'm gonna buy a hood before my car goes to paint but kinda want to look into moving the headlights into the driving light area

No pictures of the skinner headlights, but I did a Mini H1 HID Conversion into my fog lights and they put out enough light to be usable as headlights.
They are bixenon, so do both high and low. Running them in tandem with my regular HID retrofit for the headlights, the car looks like a god damn space ship coming down the road. All 4 bulbs flip open and go into "high beams" together.
I have lost the regular headlights before, burnt out a bulb so i just shut them off and ran only with my fogs to avoid attracting police attention. Drove home 90 miles with just my fog lights, and they were still brighter than other peoples head lights, although probably not DOT legal because they are not high enough off the ground to be determined a "head light"

It is illegal to have the headlights installed in that position; they would be below the federally mandated minimum height of 22 inches.
