Them headlights look superb in 6v wings.

Those head lights would be HELL to tackle without the right skills man!
If your serious about those headlights you better have patience with your car!


I have a 1302 and will be doing a headlight conversion (undecided as of yet) and actually as I work on my current project now (69 standard) I am thinking about keeping the headlights stock...you can always get tricked out 7" headlights I am using a set of blakc headlights on the 69 its gonna look sick man!



GOOD LUCK!

Hi again, here is a second attempt that is a lot better than my first one. The proportions seems right. It would probably look better on wider front fenders.

It looks good! They are a little big though...how deep are they?

think of tire clearance!

My buddy is scrapping his project and will have a set of mini cooper S lights up for sale real soon. He paid top dollar for them and I expect he'll take a beating on the re-sale... I think he paid in the neighborhood of $600.
I did some of the preliminary test fit for him, it was looking like a LOT of work and depth was going to be close, especially on big wheels.

For this mod, I don't think this would be suitable for post 67 standard Beetle (the ones with smaller headlights) and even less suitable for Super Beetle.

For the level of difficulty, it would be a lot of trouble doing it on a steel fender. I'd rather do this on a fiberglass fender, I have no metal working skills but have good skills in FG, my prensent project is restoring a Jeep CJ7 that has used fiberglass tub and one piece front end, both were damaged when bought and are now almost completely repaired.

I guess it wouldn't be impossible for me to create a FG fender mold 2 inch wider with the extension starting from the attaching point of the fender meaning there would be no extra lip on the fender.This would be a great project!!

For the depth, I'll have to mesure that on my boss car (CS430). I'll also have to convince him, since there would probably be some dismantling to do and get the mesure right.
