Got another question. You know that space right under the signal light upfront. has anybody put another set of lights there? like foglights maybe? It looks like it is begging for a light.

They are called CDL's or canadian driving lights.You can find them on e-bay.Some people have also been pretty creative modifying other after market lights very nicely.

PDM Racing sells standard and LED version (I think these are from ClearCorners.com) for a small fortune, but these are what you are searching for.

honestly, don't get your hopes up. i'd be skeptical until trying them out. they're cheap, chinese(i'm assuming) knock-off head lamps. the quality of those pieces is probably completely unknown. i guarantee that they're not DOT approved either. so be careful running those on your streetcar.

for the price though, it'd be hard to pass up if you want yellow lights. let us know how they are.
