Pete200 Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hi folks, iv a 81 ke70, I'm told that I cannot just get the twin head light conversion, I need bonnet,wings and front panel .. is this correct ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altezzaclub Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 If its a slanty, then yes, that is true, change everything back to the windscreen. Although you could just make the lights fit... If its a flatfront, which I expect it is, then all you need are the lights as far as I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altezzaclub Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Yeah, its a slanty. The usual quad lights fit straight onto a flatty, but your slanty has different panels from the screen forward, including the radiator front panel. So you either do the whole flatfront conversion and cut the radiator panel to suit around the headlights, its not a lot of cutting, or you just modify the front to make it like the blue one there.

ke70dave Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 Someone years ago dissassembled the slanty lights, and painted the surrounds of the lens black. Didnt effect the light itself (as you dont paint the round bit). looked super cool. Main problem with the slanty lights is that they look enormouse. painting half the insides black made them look less enormous. Also here is another monstrosity of round lights on slanty, This is my car! waaaay back when i was experimenting. just aweful. http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/2/0/2/18182.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
