I'm sure they might work
Dang, M3MOTORSPORTS, I was hoping for more. Maybe with now I can run an 11.970 instead of a .973.
Either way, it'll be great to be able to see past the traps. I have the funky Canadian spec with light sentinel that I can't turn off. I've been disconnecting the motor fuse, but that doesn't really help past the traps where there's no track lights or the return road.

The aluminum shrouds are in route as the final piece for the first sets.
General Question: how many of you plan to paint the main shroud, lens and/or the aluminum projector shroud?

I plan to leave them bare in case the customer wants to paint/powdercoat them a different color or even have them chromed or polished.

Now can the llights and lens be mounted without the shroud? I just want to get them mounted because after Dec I wont have much time to get this done. If I can mount them and the lens I will do that then take the shrouds to be painted, but at least I could already have the lights mounted.

Installation should take no more than an hour (if you can keep track of your tools better than i can...lol)
tweaking/aiming/adjusting may take a little longer....figuree another 15-30 minutes to get everything lined up.

Wow, I was guessing an all day job. This includes removing the original assemblies and attaching all wiring to the new lights?

I am definately painting the shroud (to match car body color). Lens will remain clear. What I do with the aluminum projector shroud is dependent on how it all looks, but they will either be painted to match body color, brushed or polished.

Aluminum takes to being painted quite well especially with a good primer and quality paint.

I was at the shop this past weekend getting something different installed. I got to see some of the components up close and even touch them when George wasn't looking! You guys are going to be happy!!!!
