I dunno about the truck lights perhaps you could get them to look cool in the wagon if you know how to work fiberglass, I really think they are a tad bit shorter then the caprice lights.

real close to 13" across, just a hair more. height is a lil more than 3 and 3/4". It's hard to get an exact measurement because the raised front section is smaller than the whole thing, if you know what I mean.

so the truck ones could work? possibly?

If they fit in the space, mounting might be the issue. Here's how they mount, with that bracket on the back:



and that bolts to the rad support.

If they do work, there's a whole bunch of different headlight options available. Projectors, Halo's, etc. Then all you need is 4 plugs from a junkyard truck, and there is a wiring kit available to wire them to run off the battery instead of the switch.

I wish I could see the back of one of them. Its pretty hard to tell just what sort of custom work will need to be done to fit the light into place...Anything is possible with the right amount of time spent into the project ...BUT I definitely thing its worth it to be different especially since its going onto a show car..Every little bit counts.
And I 2nd the notion of gettin the plugs since it wont work at all with out the right GM style plugs....I sorta like the Black projector lights with the halo ring around them...

im going to start this project mid january, im an expert at fiberglass so making it look right is not an issue. thanks for the support and its good to know the measurements are.

Nifty. Not sure if we have very many fiberglass guys on here. Maybe someday you could make a little how-to thread for those of us not skilled with forming 'glass?

[interceptor1985]

Thats a great idea...Considering I know anough to make a huge mess of my project.

well how to use fiberglass all depends on what you want to make. after that its all pretty simple. how it turns out is just based off of how well you make your mold and how much you like sanding. if you check my cardomain page youll see i made my sub enclosures from fiberglass, but instead of using fiberglass mat i used fleece.

hmmm Very cool. I cannot wait to see the headlight install....it's going to be very sweet

So basically you made the box and rings from MDF and stapled fabric-store fleece to it before trimming and slathering with fiberglass resin?

You might want to upgrade the harness before putting the hids in

Basically....in a nut shell..............yes. I wish it was as easy as it sounds. i just finished today and i will be painting on sunday.

very cool...Have any thoughts as to which style headlight you might use? I sorta like the Black one with the halo around them...very different
And I just thought of something....

I bet if your really good and take your time you could even take the housing apart and paint the inside the same blue of the car...that seems to be the common theme with the waggy..just a thought.

well i was thinking of just using the chrome one, but i do believe ill repaint the area around the headlight with the blue. the car will be repainted by the summer so im going to have alot of things to do.
