Spyder headlamps.....my take on 'em...and LIGHTING in general

[shovelbill]

That's a big dome! Deep breathing 'hemi' but sloooow flame travel. Primitive beasts.

it's actually a modified chamber, did start as a hemi though.......it's a dual quench setup...single plug......my brother Mikey in Canada builds these billet cylinders and heads, rocker, lifter blocks...etc.....all his own design and machine work.

here's the chamber, piston mirrors it......

More lighting ****.

OEM tail light housings, carefully washed out, sanded and coated with 2K automotive clear. Better than new.

Not polished. Buzzed off all the original coating with P400 on an orbital sander, then a very slight wet sand with P600 3M wet or dry paper, blow dry, tape and spray 2 coats of real clear with a 1.4 mm gravity feed gun.

Edit: that is the as sprayed finish.

At the moment, no aux lighting on the front, however when I have a chance, there are a few LED's I wouldn't mind installing for low speed off road usage.

i want to do the jumper wire to get the top bulbs working as a brake lights too....wtf was GM thinking when these came out?

i'm still up in the air as to a rear fog light.........

i played with that Hella site for a long while......pretty impressive man.......i'm going to stay with halogen up front. old dog and all.
i don't believe i've ever seen a Cibie Oscar "fog" pattern before.....100W H2.....we'll find out eventually though......they should be here friday, but i may be upstate if all goes well.


i have to figure on another harness too........my brain is gonna explode.

Yes, you can do the jumper to get the top bulbs working as brake lights. Aftermarket tail lamp boards may be different in terms of wire configuration, keep that in mind.
