Round Headlights

[Breedlove]

I want to put round headlights in my festiva, and have been trying to find a car that comes with stock ones small enough. A BMW's looks to be small enough vertically to fit, but I am wondering if their is a voltage/current difference. This is assuming I can get the round headlight frame in. Anyone done this? I couldn't find it in the help section.

All of those , only have the halo ring lit , none of those pics actually have the headlights on there .

ahhhhh...my bad, I have to say I have never seen those type of lights in person.

[packrat427]

They are almost like the H/L's on BMW's called Angel eyes .
They are very sexy !!

Heya. Yup, as mentioned I'm just about finished putting together a conversion kit. The usual round headlight conversions are 7", same as you'd see on an early VW Rabbit, or most old pick up trucks.

Here's what mine look like:




The set up I'll be selling doesn't come with the headlights, or covers, since the headlights can be bought anywhere, and the headlight covers don't exist anymore. CWS was selling their kit for $350, but I'm not looking for nearly that much. I'll be selling it with the buckets, wiring, and pretty detailed instructions on how to put it together. If you've done any automotive work before, this one is pretty easy.

Let me know if you're interested.

I am kind of busted right now, but they look great, I think I am going to find an older beemer at a junk yard and see what I can get them cheap. Thanks, Eric
