3800 The death of a headlight

[Mike K]

I am going to the track tomorrow evening and I just bought a cut-off wheel, as well as an air compressor yesterday. It was a recipe for disaster.

Knowing that I was going to the track, I decided to mod my old headlight so that it would pass air through it to the filter behind. Here are the results. I don't think it looks to shabby and it looks better than the whole headlight/ cornering light assembly missing me thinks.

Questions, comments, pointing and laughing?

Edit, probably should have gotten pics of the light itself. It's basically an old headlight minus the front lense, with the rear cut out. It screws into the stock location for track use.

You should mod the other one too for "better air flow" JK... Now man good idea! I think it does look better, but you still have a black eye...

that looks pretty good, i thought about doing that before, but im too cheap to buy another headlight, lol

They are actually not that expensive. 60 bucks from GM for a new headlight. I know they try to charge more, but you just lay it on the line and say that you can get it from GMPD for like 56 and they will come down in price. Thats how I got my GM bra for 70 bucks.


Looks good BTW

I have both a right and a left headlight without a lens. Had no clue what to do with them. If someone wants them shout at me.

since you like it so much, I will give it to you for free, since I got it for free as a hand me down...
yes or no?

Um, why not just remove it at the track???????

it takes like 2 minutes?

 

[BumpinGTP]

because this looks better and acts like a funnel forcing the air in

I was at the mod day for all of 45 seconds dropping off some pads. Not sure if anyone saw it.

You all looked like you were having fun.
