headlight solutions... Hey, I bought my car a little less than a month ago and Ive been on a quest to make it as light as possible ever since. At the same time I have also been making a concious effort to move the weight distribution as far back as i can. I had the headlights out a little while ago and damn those things are heavy. They must be 10-15 pounds a piece if not more. Has anyone done anything to cut back the weight? I was thinking of removing the assembly/motors and maby just moving them manually?

Moving them manually? That would get old quick. I'd try taking weight away from things that arent as necessary as headlights. Either that or replace things with lighter materials.

Ive seen the fixed lights too but yeah the only ones I have come across were all in the 1K range, which is a lot more than I am looking to spend.
As far as lifting them up manually it really wouldnt bother me at all. As it is, I already have to pop the hood, then pop up the lights, then go out and close the hood.

my rear seat is already non-existant. The headlights are of particular interest to me because they are up front, which is the last place i want weight. On top of that they are past the front axle.
As I have already said, I already have to get out of the car to shut my hood every time I need to pop the headlights, so it doesnt matter. I know some people wouldnt want to have to go to the trouble of doing this but it does not bother me at all. I would rather lose 20 or 30 pounds. I am not asking if people think i should or shouldnt do it, I am interested in if it has been done.
