Headlight conversion questions

[Sven7]

I want to, or to use some Mk1 buckets cuz they're pretty compact/square, but I have no welder so anything I do has to be bolted in using steel bar or something.

If I can buy a set of lights or buckets and anyone's willing to help me fab them or get them in I'll buy you beer or lunch or whatever, OBO.

What about 4th Gen Camaro buckets?

[Sven7]

They look kinda deep. Could work though if I chop the front off to match the Anal Probe.

I haz welder u can uze. I might need to get the tank refilled but that is no biggie.

[hapsbang]

just for reference how much space do you actually have to work with?

[Rman91Bird]

Maybe some super bright fog lights?

[Sven7]

~ 10 wide 6 long 4 deep. A little bigger and smaller in each dimension depending on angles.

Jigs, I can't weld

Fogs? I'm trying to keep it somewhat legal.

You know where I am, I can weld if it doesn't have to look pretty. I might even have some metal stock here that would work. Hell, I think I might have some plexy too. You can bend it with a heat gun and something to let it fall to shape on.

[Sven7]

Sounds great, Shane! I'd like to meet up with Jigs anyway because he's a lot closer but will keep it in mind

Next stop, a junkyard.

I like Glen's idea with projectors. You can't get much more compact than that. Plus a decent projector with a decent bulb is going to give you 10X the light you ever had with the original probe lights.

[Sven7]

What kind of cost are we looking at for projectors? Honestly if it's not a direct swap, I'm also going to need a lot of help with it. I'm inexperienced and know little about electrical stuff.

S13.

Aerodynamics fail. Stay on target.

[Sven7]

Honestly they're doing a lot better than the stock ones in up position.

However, if that guy only had to trim the hood a little for that, couldn't I get a "normal" flush fit fixed conversion for an S13 and fit it in there?

[Shane]

Probably. You could also just match the curve by sanding a block of wood and heat forming plexy over it. Make your own, perfect fit. If you're too squeamish to make your own, I can probably make you a set for a small fee since I will be using up some materials I have.
