waddiejohn Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 I was lookin at the 280YZ kit and thought the headlights from the Kenworth tractor worth a look. Dual rectangular headlights in a chrome housing. Check them out at your nearest truck stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Efficiency Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 If you looking for a set of narrow lights, how about a set off a 90's cutlass like this one http://www.tbi.state.tn.us/Cid/AmberAlert/Cutlass%20Supreme.jpg or these on the cutlass supreme http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/87/Oldsmobile_Cutlass_Supreme_convertible.jpg also I'm suprised nobody has mentioned this yet, some you you guys are using or sugesting using fog lights/ baja jeep style lights but the problem with that is they are single filament bulb so you dont have a high and low beam, just one or the other. You need a OEM light from something on the road that has a double filament bulb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeron Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 How about the lights off of a Geo Storm? Pretty much the same as the fourth gen Camaro headlights: I call it "The Homosexual French Camaro," or alternately, in the case of the hunchback (which was my first car) "The New Gremlin" Ugly? sorta, but believe it or not it grows on you. Not a horrible little car, and believe it or not it is (very) distant kin to the 1990s FWD Lotus Elan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny that you put that picture up of the Geo, that is the same car (even the same color) as the one I got my "Camaro headlights" out of. The lights are the same between the two although I think there is a very slight difference in the housing that holds the lights. Also for anyone thinking about pulling those headlights and housings out of a Geo in the wrecking yard... be prepared, it is quite a chore.

MatMan Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 That's an interesting idea. I have been seriously contemplating blocking off the grille above the bumper (making a radiator intake box) and installing new lights behind the grill, in cutouts. There is one more thing to consider about auxillary headlamps, at least in CA, they MUST function so that if the OEM high beams are on, all auxillaries are off.

waddiejohn Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Round lights just don't seem to fit the style of the front of that car unless they're in a rectangular housing of some sort. The KW lights look more like they were designed in from the begining. Just my opinion you understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
