Anyone know if he figured out if the tail lights worked well? I am thinking about installing it this way.

Have a look at posts from "not so swift" where he has had success vs Vitronic Poliscan

So to follow up, we have all the supplies for the project, the question now is if the LI heads will go in the headlights or in the grille. The owner of the car is a mechanical engineer and is trying to fabricate a bracket that would allow vertical/horizontal/rotational adjustment as well as fore/aft on both sides of the head to get straight once the headlights are all sealed, and can fit in the area between the reflector and base of the housing. Anyone thats ever opened headlights for a retrofit knows you wanna do it right and you wanna do it once haha. Ive never head any condensation problems when using butyl sealant, so keeping the lenses clear shouldnt be an issue

Any updates?

I'm thinking about doing a retrofit on my Si. Is really like to put the heads inside and it'd be my first time doing the headlights. Couldn't you put the headlights back on the car to level the heads then seal it up with a heat gun?

Hey sorry for the long time between posts. between school and work, neither me nor my buddy (car owner) have had a free weekend to get to work on this.

The problem with testing without the covers on is that he wants to test in real life conditions, in this case with the lenses covering the LI heads. Realistically, yes, they could be leveled and tested, and then sealed up, but making it externally adjustable will save a solid days work should anything need to be moved once everything is all said and done...that and I think he just wants an excuse to play with his new CAD.

Stig, where are you in NC? Im out of town for school, but home in Raleigh a few times a year. If you decide to retrofit your si and want a hand, (and are near-by) lemme know.
