Default Headlight Modification - version 2

Changed my earlier headlight mod (using regular-style headlights) to these tri-bar type.

Got these from "rodpartsdealer" via ebay...http://stores.ebay.com/Rodpartsdeale...QQftidZ2QQtZkm but there are other places that sell these as well.

Don't know why my pics don't display.

That looks cool! How hard was it to swap the headlights?

The change was relatively easy since I had already performed the modification where I removed the lens and installed a conventional type conversion light. The original modification was a bit more involved and and I've posted how-to pics on my gallery and text within my original post on this subject a few weeks ago (I think you can search on my user name or headlight mod lense removal).

So you used 7" headlights? I thought the OEM headlights were 5 3/4".

7" fills the hole though as you can see...

I like the tribar lights, but I am unsure if they will look good on the GTs with the bigger center lights...

Maybe this is another option...

Tri-bar headlight covers

I wonder if these could be made to fit our headlights and fogs.

Maybe I'll just put them on the fog lamps and not the headlights. I think the fogs are 5 3/4".

7" diameter fit just right behind the bezel/trim and are essentially the same size as the OEM reflector (I think it measures about 6 3/4"). Smaller diameter would fit but wouldn't look right.
