I think the only reason someone used it was because it is on another GM car. By itself it is an ugly design. If I were going to steal a design I would want to skip right to the supercars.
How about this Bugatti:
Now that's sweet. The Porche GT and Lambo murcielago also have some real nice headlights. There's a hundred different ways to make custom headlights. I just wish I know what LT1-7 was up to.

I guess you were refering to my comment. I didn't say they were a play on the C6 design, I said they WERE the C6 design, right down to the shape. The C6 lights were copied and pasted onto the TA body. That is not a negative comment, just an observation. The shape of the TA headlight is more of a parallelagram when viewed from the front, so the C6 would not fit at all.

I'm glad GM finally put some good projector style of lights on the vette. Projectors rock!
I've got some sweet BMW E46 projectors waiting to go in my TA right now. HID kit is on the way. I just need to get some type of housing to put them in.

Phamspeed, if you are using sealed projectors then Im guessing that the housing wont be sealed. This would probably mean that moisture would be a problem under the lexan cover. Are you going to use a fan like Breathless? If so could you design the housing to also work without the lexan cover too? I would rather have them exposed than to have that fan in the housing. I am very interested in your kit however and give major credit to anyone tackling this project!

I'd LOVE to see the blinker/DRLs incorporated in the housings... Not only would it change the whole look of a 'bird coming down the road, but it'd also eliminate the damn crappy factory signal housings from ALWAYS leaking/foging/shorting bulbs. Not to mention turning yellow as well.
My vote without a doubt is for signals in the housings. Anything close to the pictures above would be sweet!

Now, the thrid light doesn't necessarily have to be a blinker, it can be a very low beam light like the lexus GS 300 has, meaning it doesn't even light up the road but is still there for safety. I dunno what I'm talking about

or body colored even... I'd like it if you had the ability to remove the lexan and housings and just paint the surround.I'd be going for the 90mm D2S (I think) HID housing for the low beam.
