i like ur idea for welding the eyelid covers to the hood, jus one suggestion…

keep it flush across with the hood like they are now, dont shorten the eyelid covers, keep it straight across mang.

they look nice though dude 8) what are u doing to align the bulbs properly?

if i was keepin my 240 id be making some now,

very impressed. take care.

The cool thing is the fiberglass housing and all that is seperate from the eyelid so no matter how off aligned the eye lid is the rest of the headlight is not affected. as of now i can angle the whole housing up and down, i can move the actual projector headlamps inside the whole thing up and down and side to side as well as align the eyelid seperatly so its flush with the hood(which needs work because the drivers one keeps moving) Because it keeps moving is why i want to weld it to the hood end of alignment problems. Right now the headlights are aiming a little too low, but ill have that all straitened out before the car gets sprayed 8)

saw them in person today with new ultra bright lights and headlight covers as part of the hood.

It looked good, despite what the haters say, anything like this will take a little engineering and/revisions, and for a first attempt they look dam good, not quite show winning good, maybe a re-vamp/smoothening of the housings/fitment, BUT good none the less

The final touch…i prob wont play around with them anymore as im very happy with them. I made the covers flush with the hood and got new housings and bulbs for my night lights. Their very white…no blue nonsence. At night it almost looks like a integra…not so much a heatscore like before with the yellow headlights. How ever the yellow ones light up evvverything at a wider angle and are perfect for when theres no lights and you cant really see where your turning. Enjoy.

craftsmanship looks ok. :dunno:
