could a round type (NAS defender) be fitted within the clear cover ?


I was thinking about it, it could, if modified but i can't find the clear ones i have (stander Defender, not NAS, that would be easier/better to fit as they are smaller) ... somewhere in the garage...

I realy want them too, do you have a close up from the finished headlight ?
I am toying with the idea to darken only the bottom half inch of chrome, so the headlight does not look as tall.

What about finding a plastic moulding company that could take a cast of the amber side lens and produce a grey/smoked lens for direct replacement....? I've thought about this for a while. If we could identify a manufacturer, and order in bulk, the costs shouldn't be ridiculous.

What is the length of the reflector?

whould this be of any use?



http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Reflector-White-130m...7C294%3A50

I don't now how to produce mock up pictures but my idea was to spray a smoked line (or body coloured line) at the inside of the clear lens (or the outside).
The line starts on the underside, where the bulge of the drivingslights stops. In the D4 they do the same by raising the bumperline.
