That is incredible!
Great work, very ingenious! I was impressed when I saw the polycarbonate sheet, then the actuator came on and that was unbelievable! That must have been a ton of planning and fitment issues (more than the three minutes we see!), but the payoff is well worth it. And - Welcome to the Forum!

Great job and welcome. I´m sure that´s a lot of help to someone having hideaway headlight rebuild ahead. Those hideaways can be expensive, I have seen complete 70-71 hideaway grilles for sale in ebay for $2000-2500 or even more. I enjoyed your video Thanks for sharing!

Hi Asi, love your ideas! Send me a friend request on Facebook please so I can get more details about this build! Troy Leming in Wallingford, KY 606-541-0193
I have no problems with building a hideaway headlight setup that's not stock as I love this look but just can't make myself pay $1500-$2000 for the original setup :( Thanks |
