This was done by cutting the factory pop up headlight arm in half and fitting a length of steel tube over the top.

Next we put two 90 degree bends in the tube and made a bracket that turned the motor sideways, bolting it through two factory holes on the chassis rail.

The headlight motor cover will be welded to the bracket soon and I will do a full writeup of the modification. Do you guys want a scale drawing of the brackets we made?

Looks good. I always wanted their kit but didn't want my lights up 24/7. Will you be selling that linkage?

Quick question for you US guys -

Is your front bumper iron bigger than the JDM Kouki bumper support? Trying to figure out if my headlight mod will clear the USDM front bumper.

Could someone please post a photo of their front end?

i would be interested in a kit if you plan on making one.
i plan on using a PSM kit with pop ups also.

Yes, USDM bumper support are all bigger than their JDM counterpart. Most will hack/trim the support to fit JDM bumpers.

This gets rid if the only problem I have with buying the pbm ic.

Would be interested in buying the arms/kit or getting the scale drawing.

The_Lorax 10-02-2011 11:00 PM

can someone please upload a photo of the USDM bumper iron on the car?

Is it normal / standard practice for people to trim it when fitting bodykits etc? The headlight motor just touches the JDM bumper support where I have it sitting, but there is no where else to put it.

any more updates on this?

The_Lorax 10-13-2011 02:33 AM

No updates yet because my garage leaked and shorted out the garage lighting. We will have some news soon, once we refine the prototype on my car :)

cjmirabal1 12-16-2011 12:04 PM

Any progress on this kit or drawing?
