Default GB feeler - Turn signal projector

Thinking about doing a small GB run (if its ok with the mods) on a turn signal headlight kit. Wont be a whole lot in it for me - but its something I could do for the community. It would be very similar to Aidan's design, I talked with him briefly and he didn't have an issue with it. I would make it PNP as possible.

What I could provide:

- Modded clear depo style T/S housing
- Pair of hella 60mm projectors
- PNP wire harness
- Switchback halos for parking/TS light
- All the brackets and hardware
- detailed instructions with templates on where to put brackets/drill holes.

I *think* I could do it for around $250-$275 shipped.. You'd be on your own for the headlight lid solution. Some people may want to DIY that, get the Singular brackets, ISC hood - ton of options there. Would there be any interest?

May be interested. I'd love to get rid of my Pop up motors.

Having my car apart and looking at this further...

this mod requires r&r’ing of the bumper cover and trimming the radiator support. Anyone who can do that, can surely splice up a PNP harness and cut their turn signal housing... because of the radiator support issue it wouldn’t truly be a bolt on, plug ‘n play solution, no matter how well I package the kit. The only real convinence is having everything arrive in one box...

.. anyhow I don’t thing there would be much value in it to you guys. there is already Aidan’s excellent thread on how to to it for those interested.

I’m in for a set. Let me know if you need a deposit to get started. Been wanting to do this for a while but am just too lazy.

I would be interested if it’s ready to ship before August, as I will start looking for holes for Intercooler piping around then. This frees up so much room. $250 would be fair pricing.

Guys I appreciate the support on this!

I’ve got a couple things I’ve got to knock out in my personal life before I can get this rolling... I can’t accept any deposits or make any promises yet, but seems like enough demand for a small run of kits that I won’t be left sitting high and dry on.

This is still going, guys. Some parts for kit #1 are still on the slow boat from China. Once I get that kit going and the bugs shaken out, I can start getting going on this.
