Any writeup of the corvette headlight stuff (costs, technical, etc)? Any pics of the headlight when it is up?

Anyone heard word of non popup conversion for a starion...someone was looking at doing one in the US on the starquest forums a while ago but I haven't heard any more about it.

It is up. It doesn't lower either, as you can see why with the IC piping right there.. :beer

He hasn't said anything about it for awhile. I'm making my own though. Hmmn, post a pic? Hmmn... :naughty

Single Xenon ECE version E46 HID projectors, Phillips 4300K D2S bulbs, Hella Gen. 4 ballasts, Hella 90mm highbeam modules, CCFL angel eyes, and Carbon Fiber. This is an old pic, and doesn't show the MR10 lexan lenses. I also fitted Audi TT projector foglights(H3) into the stock foglight reflector's, and finished them off with some clear lenses I make. :D

Cant really see from the pic but I would hazard a guess that there is a pipe running out near the headlight (considering they dont have to move anymore) or it is just sucking air straight in from the hole next to where the headlight assembly used to be.

Oh and any chance of seeing the writeup for the headlight conversion? What sort of money did it end up costing you?
