I was thinking maybe the headlights from the newer Mercedes?

May be a pain to do, but if you mold them to everything including notching and moulding the hood, it may look nice.

I'd love to see someone try to replicate the hide-away lights from the older SS Camaro's. . . you know, where all you see is a giant black grill, and the grill pieces over the headlights fold away to reveal the headlights behind it.

Good lord no. Just called on a price of these lights. Since they are still brand new and cant get them used anywhere seems they think they are worth alot more than my whole dayum car! I am not even gonna post the quote I got today to purcash them and have them sent to me. Not to mention the 3 week ship time.

I personally think it would look good if you could get something round in there...like from a g-wagon. Or you can buy some piaa or hella round driving lights and retro fit it into place with some plexy...

The whole package price was 1290 plus shipping to my house. And that was with the Business Discount Pricing.

I always played with the idea of keeping the stock headlights, but sinking them back about 3/4 inch. Then make a billet grille that covers the whole front including the headlights, kinda like those billet grilles you see on low rider trucks.

Like this......

Another option......

Mid-ninties Camaro's had those 4-square headlights sunk into the front of them instead of the lens-over-bulbs. You could do dual-square headlights similar to the dual-round projectors.

Heres a pic of the headlights I'm talking about.....

the range rover headlights sound ok, but might be too tall. if you're taking the flat vertical headlights like the rover's, the 300C might fit, e36 bmw 3 series or the 5 series of the same time, or something from the toyota suv line. other ridiculously expensive headlights that come to mind are ones from the rolls royce phantom, 1st and 2nd generation jdm toyota century (yeah right).

I am interested to see if anyone has gotten this done yet (state side). I know there are a lot of scion owners that have some craftsman skills... Anything recent? Anything in the works? I origionally was on DropnDrag forum and brought up the idea of the caddy lights up front but I think they're too tall... ANyone with photo shop skills could maybe give it a try? I would love to do something with the lights on mine. The r34 looks badass but that would cost a fortune... the BMW seems most "reasonable"....(for that kind of work )
