Re: Small Car Headlight Kit
Ahhhh, ok, I see where we got off track.
My retrofit will be into the glass-lenses of the German headlamps. Quote:

Re: Small Car Headlight Kit
Update
I gave up on the headlights I bought with the small car lenses due to just too many issues with seized screws and bent adjustment thingies. I got a pair of stock lenses from a junkyard car that were in decent shape and just a little hazy. I polished them to get the haze out and clear coated them. I screwed up the clear coat so I sanded them down again and tried again. Screwed it up again. I suck at painting. I put some extra coats with the thought that, maybe I could just buff out the bumps and snakeskin imperfections. It took a long time but I finally got them looking decent and I am pretty sure I didn't go through the entire clear coat layer. I finished them off with the best HIR bulbs I could find. Now I am trying to get the aim right. I think I am close.

Re: Small Car Headlight Kit
After I did mine I went to an alignment shop I use. The lift they have is perfectly level. Between jobs they let me drive onto the lift and adjust the levels on the lights to dead centre. Worked great & only took about 5 min. total.
