Default FS:Baller an a budget GT style headlight conversion



Homemade GT style headlight kit for sale. This is a racer car set up, not a replica Porsche or show car set up. It's made for aerodynamic function, reliability and easy of servicing. This was my quasi-beta prototype model. It works, but as a prototype, it isn't perfect... for instance you might want to change the lenses.

Save like 25 lbs off the front end & free up space to access your engine compartment.

It's adjustable and super easy (under an hour) to install.

Unlike some GT kits out there, it actually lights up the road where you need it.

This is a combo kit with Hella Euro H4 E code housings and upgraded german 60/55 bulbs (not cheap crap). You might want to upgrade your harness with some type of proper relay harness to improve on your 30 year old electrics. Rennbay sells a great kit...

I'll post better pics on Monday or tuesday.

$350 US including shipping.

how did you make the lenses? I have everything I need to do this but no way to bend plexiglass (girlfriend would kill me if I ruined the oven) and I havent seen lenses for sale anywhere.

^ i made a template using a cover then turned the oven to 350 and set the acrylic over the metal cover till it formed... Probably could use a 25 dollar toaster oven, go to Goodwill.

Doug, this is kind of what I got going on, but I've added another aluminum piece whaich doesn't look as good as this, but works really well. The end user might feel inclined to modify or change lenses to their liking.
