Two, for some insight, the Abflug lights were a bucket that drops in without modification to the radiator support. Attatched to the bucket was a bracket that held the lights with springs on all eight screws so you can properly align your lights. They also had a foam strip around the edge between the plastic and the bucket.

I've actually been drafting up a pair of these when I've been having spare time. Coming close, just need the motivation to start making the mold and laying the glass down.
I'm not planning on making something that is too expensive. if it turns out the cost will be too much, I'll do a single run group buy for those looking to get a set and that will just be whatever it costs for the tooling and materials.

Honestly, no matter what the price, i'll probably just do a group buy or two because i have stuff to do, not sell headlights at a small profit.


Ya, there should be zero reason to modify the radiator support, and I wasn't planning on that being part of the design. I want something bolt in.

Also, I will be doing something a little more weather proof than foam for between the bucket and the lens. just not sure what that will be yet.
