that kinda looks like the Kaze Prjector headlight conversion. the kit costs over $700 and i don't think its hard to install.

That's Matt's setup....
I think he just put it together himself... not a kit (may be wrong, though). Only thing is... for now, he doesn't have automatic pop-ups... you gotta hand turn 'em when it gets dark
. Still looks totally kick ass.
Matt.... when are you comin' back to FL so we can hang out again??

Would slapping fogs in there really work and still be legal at all???
what do you mean hand-turn them? You mean he has to get out of the car?? I've been looking for something like this too, actually. Was thining that I might be able to mod the turn flasher housing and just leave them down with the projectors pointing out through where the snake eyes glass would have been.McStealth R/T said:I think he just put it together himself... not a kit (may be wrong, though).

I've seen pics, and its bad as hell. I would do it in a heartbeat, however, i live in southern california, and the cops here love to pull people over for shit like that. Fix-it tickets for window tint are annoying but oh well. But putting that much work into something that is just going to get me pulled over and screwed is a waste.
Does anyone have any idea if its legal?

just tell them its stock
California Fix-it ticket 101 (headlamps)
A car on the California highway or roads are allowed to have a total of 6 lights on (6 bulbs). 2 headlights, 2 fog lights, and 2 parking lights. Anything over that is a violation. thats why the fog lights shut off then you turn on the highbeam. So if your headlight has 4 bulbs and you have them on with your fog lights and parking lights. That would be a total of 8 bulbs lit... an anal cops will tell you and give you a ticket for it. I know. I had the conversion on my car.

Re: California Fix-it ticket 101 (headlamps)
Also, there is a little box with a knob I saw at gtpro once, and have seen on another car, that allows you to control how much the headlights actually pop-up. I can't for the life of me remember what is called though. I'm thinking it wouldn't be hard to make. The pop-up motors probably have a little potentiometer to tell it how high it has raised the cover, so if you were to intercept and alter the current from the little rheostat, you could trick it into thinking it has fully raised them when it has not. Basically an S-AFC for your headlights
Anyone know exactly how the pop-up assembly determines the degree to which it has raised the covers?
so the law makes no other comment on the brightness or type of bulb used? That sets a precedent that would allow me to tape flashlights to my hood and call them headlights, and I gurantee I would get pulled-over for that. Its is my understanding that there are regulations regarding forward driving lights and their proximity to each other, as well as to the ground. Does anyone happen to have a good source of state statutes we could review and interperate so we can be prepared if we get pulled-over with this mod?RicYoon said:A car on the California highway or roads are allowed to have a total of 6 lights on (6 bulbs). 2 headlights, 2 fog lights, and 2 parking lights.
