I know sevrel people here have put round driving lights in their grill and I need to know what brand/source of lights were used as I am going to be doing this soon.Any advice on what lights I should use would be a big help. Thanks.
not round but.. this is what i did for driving lights..they are the early turn sig. under the bumper...i put the 2057 bulb in..on high beam they are on low and on low beam they are on high...frank...
Nice lights, wish i had an extra set of those... I think i might have a set coming... not sure, but might try that to put on my car, even tho its just a drag car
Dave ... I know sometime in the past somebody had showed a grill they modified like you want to do. The cut the emblem off a 70 grill and filled it in with a standard grill and then cut out the round lights .... I can't find the thread though ...
Bingo is right! That car belongs to Part-Time on board (post date 9-20-04), Sam Mangano also did same treatment. This board is so cool.
He made it out of the early center medallion grill (70-72) and a later side directional light grill. Cut the 2 apart and made one grill without any medallion or lights. Then he cut out the round holes for the driving lights. I'm posting this from memeory, so if anybody has anything else on how to make it, jump right in.
If your careful, and have a little talent, it would be a matter of cutting out the medallion center area of the early grill and replacing it with the same section cut out of the later grill. I would not cut through the main supports of the top and bottom part of the grills. Just take out the center sections. A good plastic epoxy will join it all back together again. I also think if somebody would just try adding the round lights to the early medallion grill, that would look very good too.
That's exactly what I did. Less work and almost the same result. Check out this thread: http://www.maverick.to/mmb/showthread.php?t=14281 Stefan, maybe you could merge the two threads? Sam
