Looking into a better headlight setup?

[Porkchop]

This was posted in another thread by 91taurisho and I found this to have all the information that you would need to make a very wise decision concerning headlights. This link also includes warnings for using higher wattage bulbs, and why some headlight bulbs are not what they seem. This also gives ideas for those who want a true custom lighting setup.

Check this link out - guarenteed it will answer 90% of your lighting questions.

This is Tripod link so there might be 1-2 pop-ups.

Thats Herman A's page so I would think thats his link. Anyway he really knows his stuff and made a wicked nice set of HIDs for his SHO you would just have to see them.

you don't even want to know how long or much it took herman to make those lenses.

TMK, he formed the lexan lenses himself. All the electronics and lights are imported from germany.

They are simply stunning in real life. The only down is the corners look out of place...but I am sure he is working on something to rectify that problem...

IIRC, he used clear GTS covers. Its all on his site.

Yeah, Herman's are absolutly spectacular! I wish mine looked as nice as his. I guess that's what happens when you put in as much time as he did. But all I was really concerned with was the performance, and not so much the looks. But I must say, I got most of my ideas, and a lot of help from Herman - He's the "OG" beer

In an earlier design, yes.

But then he hand formed sealed enclosures for the finished lamps.

Guys, thanks for liking my headligth setup!
I really like this picture below. It says alot regarding how thin a SHO headlamp is. Here compared to a 2000 Audi A6:

I believe he had thought of that at one time, but inorder to replicate what he has, it would cost in the $1000s because of the labor to cut and assemble everything.
