ok guys, give me some headlight ideas

The GTA is will be going in for paint in the fall after the turbo motor is done being rebuilt.

I'd like to do something different with the headlights. I'm tired of how high they flip up. Maybe halfway up, or not flip up at all...gimme some ideas/pics. thanks guys!!!

Why dont ya do them like redraidfs car? where they don't go up, just use the little slit for lights, or remove the entier flip up part and put a piece of plexiglass over it and put square lights under the plexiglass, kinda like on those imports, I just can't think of what it's called.

I'm not fond of the lazy eye look. And I really have seen some very poor pop up delete projects. I think it's hard to make that look good. Good luck to you if you try it. I just wouldn't do anything to yuor car you can't undo. you never know if you'll like it until it's done.

I thought about that idea as well, making some type of bracket that stops the headlights from going up all the way, but I didn't know exactly how the motor worked so I dropped the idea. If you find out anything else let me know
