Bug Eyes...
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/33772/s2fsm.jpg"></center><p>
First off, I'd like to see some more pics of coupes and the like with "Bug Eye" single round setups such as those on squidix9's car pictured above.
Second, I'm thinking of making my own version of that setup (poor man's HID compatible headlights) and am trying to decide which type of light I'd like to use. Has anyone had an experience with the light housings I've linked to? The blue isn't my thing, but it'll go away with some real HID's and replacement of the blue city light. Back when I tried out the plain-old sealed beam round lights on my 80, I was very pleased with the light output compared to the stock lights.
I'm assuming that the lights that squidix9 is using are not available anymore, as with the morette dual round setup.
Thanks for your input all!<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/67-81-CAMARO-DIAMOND-HEADLIGHTS-CONVERSION-H6024-H4_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33710QQihZ004QQitemZ 140103638583QQrdZ1">http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/67-81-CAMARO-DIAMOND-HEADLIGHTS-CONVERSION-H6024-H4_

probably easier to fit the 5-3/4" setup (ala older BMW dual rounds with an H4+H1 conversion)...
when I sized one up, it wouldn't fit easily, and it would be a pain to retain the stock turn signal. I've thought about a single-round setup. Fits more easily into the stock housing that the oe lights bolt to, and allows you to keep the stock side marker light.
Another solution is the Hella line... 50/90/120mm rounds...
