Trying it again: Euro Halo
It's been bugging me how building the Euro halo is so easy except for getting the freaking Lens to be clear. Attempting to thermoform a lens around the original lens (even one that was trimmed for clearances) was nearly successful but just didn't fit.
The solution: I'm going to make my own fiberglass mold for the Clear lenses then will thermoform .080" duraplex into the lens needed. The seal will be a bead of either silicone or liquid weatherstripping.
Once a clear lens has been made, I will be able to offer an option for both export cars and those with tigershark bumpers.
stay tuned....this one's going to be good.
btw: If someone has a set of euro lights, I'd like to know what bulb bases are used in both the brake and turn signal bulbs.

Heres a pic of the harness (courtesy Albert Pennell). They are standard GM twin wire single filament bulb holders IIRC.
The bulbs are stock 3057NAs
Looking forward to seeing pics of the mod

Watching this thread for sure! I love my Red / clear euro's, but bought them right before the whole halo led thing started, so I've been split between wanting to get a set of halo's or keeping the euro-style.. a best-of-both-worlds solution would make me a happy camper!

I'll be watching this closely, very exciting project. I like the modern look of newer LED tail lights, but also love how the red/amber euro tails look on my black bumper.
Will you offer just clear, or the amber euros as well?
