So I started the headlight mod...

Well I started on the headlight mod on Kitt today. I don't expect to jump into his 'transformation' until spring, but I thought I'd do some small stuff. I picked up a headlamp at Vatozone with the approximate dimensions I'd need. Sylvania PN: H4666XV and some JB Weld....which won't be used until everything is ready to be put together. What do you think for $20 and half an hour? It's nowhere near completion, but I felt a sense of accomplishment when I got to this point:


Opinions?
Edit: I uploaded 3 vids to the gallery and one to
and
.
These are the first results from the headlight mod. The headlight and motor stop are temporary and are temporarily attached for testing.

I really like it. It gets rid of the "wide eyed" look that I don't like about Firebirds. What did you do to get the headlight to stop half way up?

The headlight motors work off of resistance, so I simply made a temporary 'stop' for the motor arm with JB Weld.

You're using the KITT bumper, right?
