They all don't have the lights and 75% of them only had plastic lights. I have this weird mental inventory of junkyard cars all around the bay area.

I'm still up in the air about what to do with the high beams. Might be a cool foglight project.

A tight fit + a lip on the projector itself and of course, bondo. Even before I bondo'd the units in, they wouldn't come out if you held them by the projector and shook them.

nice...true projector. good work. I may try it when i have some spare time with other projector headlights, but i'd use fiberglass instead of bondo.

Like Kersey said though, they look weird if you just place them in the old space, but if you fiberglass a mounting cover they look sooooo much better. (IE the eastbear headlights for the s13)

The football bladder works too I'm tellin you.

Dunno if anyone really got this or not but they will function as stock headlights do on a S13. This means that they go up and down, not some weird bondo'd monstrosity that will be zip-tied to the hood. The EastBear stuff just looks like something off of the Need for Speed games...I'm totally not into that. Stock functionality and superior viability is my game. Sure, I drive a car I painted myself but everything I do is quality, unique and above what most could think of.
