Headlight/Parking Lamp Size

Post by meetthespeakers »

Just had a random question, are the headlights, and parking lamp the same size in height and width? I know they mount differently, but I was curious if it would be possibly to swap out the inside of a headlight and swap it with the parking lamps below it? Just thinking.... Could looks stupid, but might be kind of cool...

It would house the turn signals as well as foglights/projectors.... Thoughts?

No, basically the way I had it pictured in mine. You would retain the lense of the parking lamp, and then add the projector, turn signals into the back of it. The stock headlights would remain same place.

Does look kinda funny though, huh?

I thought it would be cool to clean up the front without having to have foglights down below, my foglights did not look right, they stuck out like a sore thumb. Anyway, this would have to be one of those projects where I must be really bored and dreaming. I got suspension stuff coming this week, and then I need to finish my interior. :rock:
