I'm not following.... appears to be a turn signal to headlight conversion piece, but then the final pic is a normal round light. Hold my hand and 'show me the light'.

The last pic is before i remove the headlight. It's just to show the LED bulb Power. I disconnect the right bulb and connect the led. You can see the LED vs Stock halogen bulb.
and yes my headlight is now in my turn signal and the led bulb don't realy come hot so they don't melt my plastic housing.

Is the turns signal assembly a custom piece so you can get the right focus and throw off the LED bulb?

I have to finish to buff my car before i reinstall my light. I only open the hole of the turn signal and put the led in. You have to install the led that way to have a great light.
I test the housing on the car in my paint shop but not take picture.
For the other turn signal, there a mark on the clear turn signal to add a other light bulb. just make hole using a dremel.
I can make some outside picture when the snow was gone... But from the test i made in my shop it's turn out great.

I'm skeptical that that oem signal reflector is going to control the light path to give a good on road pattern and and not blind oncoming traffic, but definitely in for the results. Has me thinking a neat way to have aux lighting for these dark country roads...

From my test it's work, my led bulb have 2 led, the low beam 1800lumens only throw on the back of the housing, and is ok to not blind oncoming traffic. the High beam will do. (It's light front and back) I have to play with the housing like any headlight to get the right angle.
But the result is perfect for my weekend car.

I just make a mold for the top layer, you have to cut the glue on your stock Hood and then paste the new one over your frame.
I build this Hood because you can fit a ford intake Under the cowl. For the headlight you can cut the Hood (you still see the headlight mark on the part). But just for the space you save, your better with the led conversion.

It is a beautiful piece. I'd love to buy one. How much do you want for it, and where do you live? Indy here. If you're not close, shipping would be higher than the hood. DJ
