Default JW Motoring Projector Light Status--Lower Opening Version--Thread 2**

The other thread was getting a little long.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...us-update.html

Well we did a little high speed testing and found the German kit was a little weak for our application. We know you guys love to drive fast so we're giving this kit a little American love by redesigning the components.

The production is taking us longer than expected, but we want to get it right the first time. I have a dedicated JWM team member working on this full time now

These pics show the lights without the shrouds which we're still working on.



This pic shows the final height which is 98-100 mm. We still need to get a measurement of stock, but we're thinking they open around 70mm less than stock.



These pics are from the driver seat/drivers perspective. Both headlights have pretty much disappeared from view! The second picture was taken with the camera just under the rearview mirror.




Descriptions of what the pics are showing to follow...

Without reviewing the entire previous thread, once the shrowds are installed, will the lamps be exposed or shielded with a cover similar to the ACAs?

Sleepy eyes or snake eyes nice. I was wondering when this would catch on here.

Exposed. I originally wanted a clear cover of them, but that stuff gets expensive.

If the shroud you are working on is good enough, you shouldn't need the clear cover

I would also like to add that I'm glad to see this project getting the red carpet treatment

Lights look great man! Are they "sleepier" than the original set you go? I can't wait to see the finished product, I hope the shroud comes out as good as the rest of the kit

Yes I believe the original was 50mm less.

Unless the covers were made of glass I would not want them anyway. The effects of UV makes them look fogged over after a couple years. Every car I have had with clear covers does this.
