[DMCForum] Re: walt.. HID headlights

["Walter Coe" <Whalt@xxxxxxx>]

Okay, I am way, way, way behind on my e-mails having to deal
with this Francis BS, err, I mean hurricane.  I'm e-mailing
with Daniel Stern (the guy who is so well known for being
probably the top authority in automotive lighting systems in
the US, no shit.)  He says that the end-all HID system that
would fit the DeLorean (almost) is to use a Bosch beam
projector housing.  Then mount inside of it whatever you
want.  In my case, I want HID.  So he is looking further
into it.  When I say 'almost' fit, I mean that these suckers
are so deep that they require holes to be cut into the jack
storage compartment.  It seems kinda crazy, but these
projectors give the absolute best beam pattern of anything
else in this shape.

So Toby, is this like what you are coming up with?

Walt - There is a shop locally that we are in the process of
setting
up an account with.  They carry a line of aftermarket lights
that
have the same outside dimensions as the DeLorean headlights,
but
have a projector beam lens inside.  They use modern bulb
inserts so
you can choose the color and brightness that you want (as
opposed to
sealed beam).  The only complication is that the wire
connections
are a little different on the bulbs, so some minor
adaptation is
required.  A friend of mine got them for his DeLorean ...
they look
very nice.  Do you want me to get some details for you?
Perhaps I
can get my buddy to take a picture of his car with them
installed.
