How are you going to enclose it, if at all?
Looks good, BTW!

I think I am going to cut a piece of pipe down to go around the lights, then I will cut one more piece of metal to cover the top. The other possibility would be to cut and bend a piece of lexan to cover it, and paint it right up to where the lights stop. I havent completely figured it out yet, so if you guys have any suggestions, let me know.

I am in the same boat, 1k is more than my pockets have seen in a long time. They seem to light it up pretty well.

They look like theyre set a little to low IMHO. They need to come up about 1/4 inch to more match the stock location. Just my .02...

I was kinda thinking that. I think, after a couple of days of looking at them, That I am going to move the outside one in about 7/8 of an inch. I will most likely move them up too.

As far as I know lexan bends really easy. Plain plexiglass is a lot more stiff. My biggest worry of the lexan, is will it fog/freeze over.

Is there anyone else interested? I have a design in mind that would enclose the entire lights. I would have to get probably $400-$450. Is it worth my time in research and perfecting it, or is that price to much. Let me know.

seems to be able to use a bit of refinement, well really just angling them up a little. VERY well done for first time man.
