    Yeah, I like that mod, but I will never get to it. I wanted to mimic Whaleboy's version for a while but I want a lot of things.

    That is one nice conversion Mr. Whaleboy. I gave my son a 3600 dollar pair of Mercedes S-500, Bi-zenons from a collision....he melted them into his old Mr.2 very nicely. I've a closet full of HID collision takeouts.....Audi to Navigator if anyone is feeling creative

    Hey Wayne,

    I may take you up on some - I've currently got some extra headlights (was thinking of doing something similar at some time) - might be an excuse for a Florida visit.

    Chappa, i'll take that offer. I like trying new things and fabbibg a new style of head lamps, sounds like a cool project to start. but i need to find an extra pair of headlamps, cuz i love my yellow ones, but would be awsome to have a diffrent kind of lamps as a diffrent option. So waht do u have and for how much?

    I think there is a few Nissan, one or two Ford, and some odd ones...it only matters that the ballasts are the same value.I think the color would be the same. Let me see what I have. If it is something you can use, it'll cost you shipping. The TT's cost 14 bucks each to Rhode Island. You may just want to check into a Tone style HID conversion. Those kits have come way down in price over the last year or two...look around a bit.

    Cool I bought a cracked VX headlight unit off a member to try fab something like this and use may be a used unit out of a Cadillac STS or something. I didn't know other members have been working on it. I have a spare unit if you want to give it a try Chopper....

    Chopper,

    If you have a set of BMW headlights with the "angel eye" ring I would love to try and get those fabbed into a set of VX headlight assemblies. If you've got them I'll find some junk assemblies and go at it.
