damn, I almost went down the Rotrex road. I travel to SD often, and would love to come for a ride sometime once it is complete!

You bet!

Thought I'd add my headlight build here since I've had a few questions about them.  I had access to a CNC plasma cutter, so designed a shape that would hold a pair of Hella projectors, with a "naked" look in line with the Exocet.

Here's where I got the lights:  www.4wheelparts.com/Lighting-Lighting-Accessories/Hella-60mm-Headlamp-Clear-998570001.aspx?t_c=14&t_s=67&t_pt=4730&t_pn=HLA998570001

Test fitting the lights...

[Ken]

Used some aluminum rectangle tube along with some roll bar mounts from amazon.  Slotted the tube to get the right left/right angle.  Up/down was done by temporarily bolting the tube to the roll bar mount.  No pics, but I leveled the car and used a level to get the rectangle tubes aligned to where I liked them.

Welded up the mounts...  I actually took me forever to make some good fillets.

Here's the finished product.  Overall I'm really happy with the lights.  The whole package is really light weight yet plenty stiff.

I picked up some ebay angel eye LEDs for the turn signals and epoxied them to the high beam housing.

Hah! What a coincidence, I got the exact same lights and will share my idea this weekend. Awesome stuff!
