Paint a diagonal section black to connect the hood lines over the headlights, and it would look better. Still not a fan either way though.

I think they look good. It's tough to pull off fixed headlights with our cars....nice job...

I think it might look better on a different color car. The clear plastic cover for the headlights breaks up the black paint too much. I also would prefer if HID projector low-beams were installed instead of what is shown there. Very interesting idea but its a shame it doesn't look better.

ugh, i couldnt imagine those on my car... i would do a nice set of hid foglights and just use those as headlights if i didnt want popups (something ive actually considered doing if i found them cheap enough)

got to give them probs for trying. this is the first one i've ever seen besides grndragons attempt, i dont even know if he's finish! If i had the extra $ and an extra car to play around with I would do it, modify it to fit the Bosch E46 projectors I have sitting around instead of those square didly things that prolly suck, and have something somewhat cool lol

IF, they didn't require cutting the bumper (were the same size as factory headlight doors)...

IF they were a better light arrangement (as mentioned...

IF it were under $200...

and IF you painted the clear lense with a VHT (tint) style paint and clearcoated it so it looked like a factory Trans-Am with the headlights down THEN I would buy them but ONLY for a BLACK car...

The way they should have came! Looks very clean, I still think the square housing kills it. Two round projector housings out of a C6 or 3 series and it would be mint.

POP UPS SUCK!

Mine will be sicko once completed...
