MY NEW Headlight Mod What do you think (Page 6/20)
Fieroking MAR 06, 02:04 AM
Like Alex De Jorg said there are adjuster built into the system. I am glad to see that My idea is being used so quickly. We will get rid of all them big ugly pop ups Yet.
I have a very good hood vent system so I don't think I'll have any problem with the covers popping up at speed.
Also I thought about mounting the lights directly to the hood and may do that on my other Fiero, I do like having pop up lights I think the car looks better without exposed lights

Good Luck with your mods

Several people have asked about the front bumper on my car, it is a Formula bumper that I modded by putting in turn signal units from a Eagle Talon. I didn't like how far back the turm signals were mounted by Ponitac, so I made mine different. The next Mod is the replace the manual heating and AC system with a computer controlled unit from a Caddy

Alex: Very Nice Job . Thanks for the info, + for you

Joe: Yep, you Definitely Started sometthing here .

To everyone:

1. I saw the adjustment screws on the lights but wondered if you could still reach them after the lights were mounted ?

2. Does anybody know if there is a requirement about which lights are highbeam and which are low beam ? Seems I saw a recent thread that said something like the law (?) required low beams to be the outboard lights ?

3. For highbeams, are ALL (4) lights supposed to come on or just the inside ones ? They sent me an invoice but no instructions

Joe: i don't know if you saw this thread, but it looks like MAJOR good things are happening in a replacement A/C unit.

Topcat,

it took me the better part of Saturday and Sunday. The biggest thing was that I had to keep cutting away so that the cover would go down with no problem. Also, spent quite a bit of time adjusting. As far as the light being perhaps too low in the bucket, just a tad bit. I must admit that these light are quite bright. I took a test drive last night and I was able to see with no problem whatsoever.

Fieroking,

Did your lights come with intructions? I was wondering 'cause mine did not. What was the red cable with the fusible link for?

Thanks.

PaulJK MAR 06, 07:38 AM
Alex, are the high beams supposed to light all 4 lamps or just the inside or outside two ?

Sweet mod, could you give any info on the wiring needed or was it supplied with the unit?
alex de jorge MAR 06, 11:27 AM
PaulJK,

when I turn on the high beam "on", the inside lights turn off and the outside ones come "on". As far as wiring goes, it is very easy. the main lights are plu n play. the only thing I had to do was hook up the angel eyes. Overall very straight forward.

I just thought of something. If all (4) of the bulbs are the same, then all (4) are supposed to be on when the high beams are ON. It should be easy to tell how these lights were designed by looking at the bulbs. The high beams and low beams should have different bulbs if the system was designed to use only (2) lights at a time. Right ?
