Default breathless performane T/A headlights

Anyone have any pictures of the brackets and of the lights mounted but without the covers on???

I'm building my own fixed headlights but with projectors, I know some other guy on here made his own and I have all his pix, but I just want some more ideas

Do you plan on making some to sell, because if you do, you would be a godsend.

These raggedy *** headlights have me hating that I picked up a T/A rather than a Camaro. Yes, it is that bad.

well...i plan on making more molds of the lenses and the back part of the headlight(the part that holds the projectors in) so yes i could sell them, only problem with that is i dont know how well they would align on other cars. so id probably have to go test fit them on other T/As. be fore i decide on anything

I am familiar with his kit, and sadly, it doesn't solve my issue. His kit still retains the Pop-Ups. That is what I want to eliminate.

Well keep me in the loop. Even if you only make a couple of sets, let me be one of the few buyers.

No prob bro, the headlights should not need too much more modificatiom or any at all, but you know, every car is different.

Yep, familiar with the Breathless kit too. The construction isn't where it should for a thousand dollar setup. I consider it one of those rare cases where you DON'T get what you pay for.

I also wouldn't want a fixed light setup that still had the dated-looking rectangle halogens. A nice pair of projectors (ideal for an HID setup) is what I am after.

A few here have made their own, but they have no desire to produce more to sell.

ask this guy to get you some pics: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/355941

thats definitely the best looking headlight set up i've ever seen for the birds. very clean, aggressive, and more modern looking (without the lenses). this is the one car that would actually convince me to get the breathless preformance kit if i had a grand to shell out.

We can't all like the same things. (Hell, I don't care for the big spoiler on the back, or the 4 nostril look of the WS6 hood either, but many here do.)

In my opinion, Flip-Up Headlights are a thing of the past. There is a reason cars do not come with them anymore. Granted, if my headlight doors weren't so unreliable and worked 100 percent of the time, I wouldn't be so quick to want to get rid of them.

A well put together, stationary, 4 projector setup, looks sharp and updates the front end. There are a few here that have done it, but again, have no desire to make additional copies to sell.

Just no love for the TA.
