updating the headlights in my elky
well i just bought a new wire harness from AAW. and since im fully upgrading the wire harness i might as well do all the lights.
ive already bought the LEDs for the brake lights and turn signals. im just a bit confused on the new style of headlights. im looking at getting these but im not sure if they will fit in the cups (??? idk what they are actually called) to hold the headlights in place. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...4891681+400003 i have the 4 headlight system (5 3/4") and i already have the relays for the headlights so i have full wattage for the lights. |

They will fit with the stock headlight retaining rings, but as the description states they are not street legal. If the lenses aren't marked DOT they are not legal in the US. Use them at your own risk. Though I can say the bulbs that are installed in them are the legal wattage for high and low beams.
Since they use an H4 bulb, if you really want some thumpin headlights install those units with bulbs that have 55 watts on the low beams and 120 watts on the high beams, can you say "landing lights"! Andy |

More than likely, you will have to enlarge the hole in the headlight buckets.
Also quite probable that the core support may need to be opened up for the bulb assy. to fit. Not a big deal, but if something is mounted on the engine side of the core support in the headlight area---might create some issues. |
