Hi there
I have not had a chance to work with the headlight development lately. I hope I can have some changes done to my intercooler as I have problems with high engine temps. If that doesn't fix it I may need thicker radiator.. doh. I just installed new stock one last winter.
About the measurements for the lights.. There is not much to measure that would help you. IMO Best method is just take the stock lights away and see the space that's left and go from there. But I'll try to take more pictures next time when I have the bumper cover off the car.
It may take some time though as I am leaving to Nürburgring in two weeks so I need to prepare the car for that.

Jarmo - hope your lights worked fine @ Nürburgring! ,)
Not ment to steal the thread, but as it is about LW driving lights, did you consider at any point to build such spec as there is in one Turbo RS car - front fogs have been converted to short beams. wonder if this would be too tricky job?
Of course, then there's no place for brake ducts if fog lights are in use..
Headlights have been removed to save weight. Other driving lights modified to perform as headlights complete with hi and lo beams.
