Headlights and Brake Lites (photos 05 Nov)

Ladies

Two great mods

Re: Headlights and Brake Lites

So it looks like you changed the lights from these


To these


But used Cibie glass/lights rather than the Ford?

That's a very interesting option / idea.

I want to see the brake lights...did you add lights to the bumper Rob or just replace the existing lights with LEDs.

I'm really bummed.
With all the hype I was expecting night photos that lit up the sky for miles.
Come on BW, show us what they really look like!

Re: Headlights and Brake Lites (photos 05 Nov)

You should have said something a year ago. I switched the other way (from regular to aero) and just tossed the old stuff. I modified my harness and would still like to put the factory aero headlight harness in.
