Well I have been going through this in my mind and finally decided to do it I would like some opinions on what you guys think, and try not to be to harsh if you dont like it. And yes my flip light did not work correctly.

I think he was gonna pull a Thelma and Louise. Or perhaps, he was talking about the sleepy eyes in the teeny pic he posted with his post? Would make sense, since he mentioned his pop ups not working anymore ;)

IMO doesn't look bad. Doesn't look safe though. If you retrofit some projectors in there, seems like a good deal

^ what are you the new forum troll or something, I mean You only have 4 posts and your bashing me for trying something different, it was just an expieriment, you don't have to give me so much attitude.

And I have a set of j30 projectors I was going to use, but there is two problems, they are not sealed, and the projectors themself don't have a dot marking.

Those headlights are off a mid 90's camaro and are dot approved, and none of the beam is blocked by my bumper etc. so I think the light output is what would be considered safe.

I don't think if flows well with the stock bumper, but I'm happy with it.
Found this on this forum I guess someone else already did it, more than once.

It looks great man, seriously. You just need to work on the car's stance a bit to completely pull it off.

I thought of doing the same thing for a while because I found a similar picture to the orange one but I thought it looked too much like a camaro front end.. so its kinda ironic that you actually used those for your mock up. I eventually dropped the idea and kept my pop ups but I also found some "permanent sleep" projector set ups that didn't look to shabby at all. That way you don't have to fix the poppers but you would have slightly more room to mount some killer projectors. Just an idea..

No I don't actually. Its way unfinished now, I just mocked it up to get an idea of what it would look like, If you mean how I mounted them I used the two bolts that hold the flip lights to the frame and made a platform thing to set them on.

I completely agree with you, like I said I think it would look a lot better with a different bumper not the sharky. Maybe a 180sx tx bumper?

Ya I was basically thinking of what would fit and be legal and the camaro came to mind, I'm pretty sure that 3" projectors would fit fine (3' is about as large as they get), they just would be a little harder to mount. If I was going to put more $ into it I would go with hella 80mm projector modules, they are dot approved and sealed, and like $70 each. considering I did this for about $15 that doesn't seem like its worth it right now.
And about the permanent sleepy eyes, i would imagine it would work well, I just wanted to see if I could get away with removing as much of the stock linkage, motor, etc. associated with the flip lights. There is some guy on the post pics of your vert thread with some pretty cool looking sleepy eyes with projectors.
