Well, since there a few aftermarket headlights out for the EP, I'm feeling to see if I want to build some headlights. They will be made of abs plastic or fiberglass or CF, and will have 3 features:

1) Projector (S2k-style) HID Low Beams
2) Projector (S2k-style) HID High Beams
3) Custom Turn Signals

Here is an example of what it would look like, except this is a 'J. Morette Focus Headlamp' I'm sure you understand somewhat.

If you don't, i'll draw up a mock-up. The pricing will be expensive, though, due to them being HID High and Low-Beams. The all-halogen version would be about $400 or so, and the HID's will be about $15-1600.

Just let me know if you like the idea.

Thanks.

Hmmmm....

Couple of questions first...

Would you paint that grey housing blue to match your car?
You should.

Does the outside light have an "angel eye" effect?
That would look very good on your ride.

Can you get a glass or plexiglass cover?
That would give it a look very similar to the Ferarri 360 Modena.



I have seen these things on plenty of Ford Foci in their factory, unpainted condition, and I think they look horrible. But if done right, they could look pretty good.

1) definately
2) it's possible
3) it's possible, probably not though, unless the car was yellow.

I like it
I might actually go for it if it were fiberglass, had the angel eye, and were around 1000 bucks. 15-1600 just seems like way too much money.

Yeah, I'm not feeling it. Also, wouldn't rocks that were kicked up crack the bulbs/lenses?

that could look good, do you have any prototypes that i can check out? also like previously asked, could rocks easily crack/break the glass or would it be strong glass like say the integra
