Well here's the story... my passenger side headlight bracket where it attaches to the headlight motor is broken. I was partially drunk last night and still kinda depressed b/c an old friend of mine and my g/f's shot himself on Saturday.
I figured since I'm getting fairly good with moulding plexi-glass I could just take off all the covers and have the headlight popped up and then I could mould a sheet of plexi-glass over it so it keeps the lines of the body. Then I would paint the parts of the plexi-glass that I don't want people to see (like the back of the headlight)
This cover I would make would have to be removable so if I needed to change a bulb or adjust the lights I could do so. I really haven't put too much more thought into the idea other than that. So if you have any ideas or suggestions please let me know.
At the junkyard they want to charge me $30 just for the headlight assembly without the motor or light and light holders. I told them where to put their lights.
Note: I do plan to use the stock size lights for this. It would be easier if I found some nice driving lights for high and low beam to have 2 round lights that are small rather than a huge light. But I don't really want to spend that much to do this so I want to use the lights that I have already.
