The headlights look great! How about some specifics about exactly what you did with what parts?

Damn, that looks nice. I was discussing this idea with some friends just last week. What lamps did you use? I was considering investigating mid-'80's Audi lamps and late '80's BMW lamps for a similar conversion. I would like to have good quality lights on my car and going to twin round lamps would be cheaper and more effective than a Euro conversion. I figure that I can get the 5" rounds at UAP or other auto parts stores for around $100 CDN per set (Bosch, Hella, Cibie). They have really good optics in the lenses - something that is sorely lacking in most cars from the late '80's to present day. Well done!

I like it a lot. Headlights are supposed to be round.
You should market that.

The large high/low with the small high reminds me of some of the BMW line. The round headlight is quite good optically, and the illumination at night should be much improved. I just told my wife that the only bad thing about the 900 series was the poor quality of the headlights.
