what a c*** tease.He posts a few pictures with a vague explanation then disappears. If he told all of you, he wouldn't be the only one with those ugly lights!

And for $3, I doubt they put out very much useable light.Maybe he was dirving at night, couldnt see a turn, and crashed his car, and now he is too emabarassed to write back.

not my cup of tea, but everyone has different tastes...

Man, we are all such cheap bastards... This is what you want and it takes a lot more than $10 to get there. I prefer not to think about how much I've spent on this project but I think it was worth it. The only thing that I didn't anticipate is how much slop there is in the bucket and motor arm assembly. This causes the lights to bounce a bit over expansion joints and the like on the highway. Regardless, I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Clearcorners.com DOES NOT sell this conversion as a kit. In fact, they state on the website that they refuse to do so. I fabricated everything myself after doing tons of research on the parts, overall design, and fabrication. It wasn't easy and it was really expensive but it was SOOO worth it!

It can't be much worse than stock. Like you said pop-up lights. I want to try a fixed head light set-up and don't want to do the silvia front end even though it is so sweet.
