do a search on here for breathless performance headlights or t/a headlights and it should turn up plenty of topics. Majority of the population do not like them, they say the visibility is not any better and the quality is crap, especially for over a grand.

The fixed headlights do not look right on this car. They are freaking huge and are ugly. The only fixed headlamps that look great were the one's for the 1998 Firehawk, that never went into production. Save your money and get the HID's.

Thanks for the compliments guys. They aren't supra lights. I made them myself this past summer. They weren't finished in the pics. I have more work to do but I like how they turned out. Going for HID's soon. I've had many requests to mass produce them but I'm a full time student in my senior year of college and getting ready for med school so sadly I don't see any time to do this. I might be able to make a mold for the bucket and lense and then it wouldn't be too much work from there on. .....we'll see. Oh, and BTW the twin turbo drivetrain will be going up for sale in a couple months to make way for a BBC&big single turbo so keep an eye out and tell your friends.

Custom. Don't know details, but originally the owner had TOUGHT about selling something similar. Not anymore...

As far as I know, those are breathless lenses, with painted white eyebrows. He mounted the lights/bracketry himself.

I'm doing a similar setup starting with the Breathless Performance kit. I've bought C6 headlights off ebay and cut them all apart. So now I've got ballasts, bulbs, and high/low beam projectors/housings.

Just have to fiberglass the bottom mount, then paint them black.

Going to be pretty bad ***, here's a photoshopped pic somebody did for me on my car. Although my lights are much smaller than these....


Basically if you want something like this, you need a minimum of $1500. MINIMUM. Breathless Lights are $1000. If you can fiberglass, a 5 gallon bucket of resin is about $100 bucks... Plus fiberglass cloth/matte, rollers, brushes, etc. Then you need the actual lights/HID projectors, whatever you end up choosing. And of course, a little know how and time, goes a long way.

EDIT: Thanks for chiming in 93formto98TA. I didn't want to steal your thunder. Just wanted to point out this isn't a store bought project. At least if you want it to look good it isn't!

These are just a Photoshop mock up, but I plan on making a prototype when I get the funds.
