Wait.. Your going to have EXCELLENT projecting lights, that are not pop-ups and are streamlined with the body of the car.

Hmm.. That will look

on my black car.

Have been searching for a good looking one to replace my pop-up's. This looks like it has great potential. Thanks for keep all updated.

If you add in running lights, maybe you can use the switchback lamps offered by Jhonathan_W. That would place blinkers in there using the same bulbs. I know there is at least one aftermarket bumper with no front blinker location that would benefit from this. I personally might completely shave the front corner lights if I had that option. Of course, it would strictly by an add-on option.

Any chance of BMW-style DRL Angel Eyes? Like the prototypes you've shown before on your pop-ups?

Very nice George. Is heat going to be an issue? I know BP has a fan in there units. Also, can you explain why your covers won't develop micro cracks like the Depo lights?

Thanks,

Kevin

halos for these would be a great idea since you can run them in the daytime independently of the low beams.

Thanks,

The Fans were primarily for moisture purposes. The projectors i'm using are sealed and thus the heat is MUCH less of a factor. Moisture problems develop when water vapor residue collects on the inside of the lens. My Modified specter werks lights are not completely sealed and i only notice moisture buildup when washing the car on a hot day.

I COULD incoperate a 12v fan but i just don't think it's nessicary.

The microfracture issues surrounding the Depos appear to bee the result of Plastic that is not UV resistant rather than the head/moisture problems I once thought were the primary cause. Most likely an oversight in production overseas. I will make a note to use UV treated plastic in my kit.
