Another Fixed Headlight Post
I am anxiously awaiting the release of Powerwerks fixed headlight setup. If it isn't good enough, I'll fab my own. Problem is my car is ready for paint now. I have a fg headlight delete panel w/ vent and also the stock panel. I would like to install the fg panel until I decide on a fixed solution. Is it feasible to remove the factory headlight assembly and re-install later if I get pulled over? How much time to re-install? All the stock parts are painted already and will be saved either way. Would this be too much of a pita as a temporary solution?Tia for your opinions.

Personally, I'd just leave everything in if it's all in working condition until you buy a replacement from powerwerks. No reason NOT to keep your lights if you can. I thought they were debuting their new products over the weekend of sebring?

Basically we came to the realization that we could design and build a better product and offer a better service doing this.
I am going to let our products speak for themselves...... providing dyno, A/F and race data to highlight our products benefits.
We will be keeping brand names such as Sparco, Cobaru and Brembo etc.......
MattH,
We are offering two kits:
The entry level kit comprises of 2 90mm Hella Halogen headlamps (made to simulate the look of the Carrera GT) that use the new high output H9 bulb which makes 1800 lumens compared with 1650/1000 Lumens for an H4. These lamps are DOT/SAE legal. The Low Beam is a projector lamp and the High Beam is of Free Form Construction
The top end kit is Bi-Xenon lamp that provides both high and Low beams in one HID Xenon lamp.
We are just testing an ABS plastic version and a Lexan version of headlight cover . We may offer both...... we want to do more testing first.
I will post some pics as soon as I can.
Cheers,
Paul

Have you guys considered just deleting the head lights, and installing the Euro driving lights? I installed 100watt h3's and never use my head lights anymore. I just don't need them, and no one(cops) even notice the diff. Now, we don't have inspections in FLa, so I don't have to answer to anyone. I do know that Dave Lindsay did the same, and deleted his headlights, as I will. They are seriously heavy, when you add up the entire assebly/system. Just an idea. E

Has anybody ever thought of fitting a true headlight into the driving light area? I know it wouldn't technically be legal since it would be too low, but I really don't care. It's approximately a 6x4" area if you leave the foglight, and I know there are 6.5x4" H4 headlights out there and I've seen smaller stock headlights (i.e. 93-97 Camaros). To me this would be the ultimate solution if we could fit an actual H4 headlight into the stock driving light area. Then we'd get the actual headlight beam pattern but still be able to do away with the stock headlights and also retain the foglight possibly.
