Not true, they are perfectly legal on Police vehicles.

Yes, but the amber ones are legal for road use, and much brighter.

Unfortionatly no. There's just no clearn way to mount them....yet

Here's a few of the original test shots of white halos on the production version. I hot-glued them into place:











They look great when on, but kinda goofy when turned off....unless you were to paint on an eyebrow like I did.

I am assuming that you take the covers off and paint the eyebrow on the inside........ am I correct?

If so, than that means the covers aren't sealed to the unit, correct?

I painted the lens on the outside, then had the entire lens (including transparent area) shot with hard clearcoat. This protects against scratches.

The lens and shroud are seperate pieces. The lens is secure with two plastic "tab-lips" and 3 bolts on the back of the shroud

Stealth Light's look amazing!!! Top notch work from a fellow headlight designer

For those that question the price on a kit like this, you may not know what it really takes to put together a quality headlight kit from scratch to integrate effectively into a car of this caliber. On top of just getting everything to fit, it also has to be aesthetically pleasing and actually put the light on and down the road as it should.

With that said, the limitation on obtaining the projectors for the kit is annoying but hopefully Hella will get a clue that they need to make more of these. The fact that two guys can wipe out the entire supply available is simply ridiculous....or it may be a testament to the response of the market to a quality product. It is certainly not practical to attempt duplicating a projector design to match the performance of these Hella units.

Back to the pics...again, they look amazing and good to see your kit is a success. Hopefully Hella can produce enough quantity in the US for the both of us.

Word has it that hella will deliver a shipment to the states in mid Apr. Rallylights tells me there's a buyer that's securing a HUGE quantity of them...wondering if that's you.

PS, do you also do firehawk lights?

That's what I am told as well but I've been waiting for these to fill my backorders since a month ago so hopefully this is the truth. I just hope the count is right as well. I'm not sure what they would consider a huge quantity but maybe there is someone else in the game we just don't know about.

If you are referring to the 98+ version firehawk then yes my kit will fit that setup since there is no difference from the base car to a fully optioned model.

I may have a customer for you. His is an earlier model (94 i think) but you have more experience with F-bodies than I do.
