DIY Low Profile Headlights
So I received a brainstorm kit without any adjustable arms awhile ago. The vendor (integrated performance) was super shady, so I decided I should attempt to create a DIY low profile kit. This is how you re-create the "low profile" height arms portion of it. I would think if you used a set of OEM buckets, you could easily re-create the buckets by simply cutting them in half and using aluminum to sink some projectors. If anyone has a set of OEM buckets laying around, I'd really like to try. Anyway here's the pics/measurements (measured both from center of pivot hole):
OEM arm vs brainstorm arm (found this pic on the web). I used this because it was perfectly on scale and helped me get an idea of the length I needed:
End Result:
Random shots I took last night:
**edit: webshots sucks.. moving to tinypic.**

oh the other option beyond JB weld is to drill two small holes and thru-bolt the parts in the offset shape. a couple of T-nuts (a la skateboard) or something might work real well. or drill and tap half and countersink the other. cheap as free.
