    FFR 65 Coupe Headlight & Signal Light Upgrade

    Installed Upgraded Sealed Beams with Amber Signal Lights built in the lower portion of the headlight.

    Our client did not want to drill 2 holes in the fiberglass ahead of the headlights.

    We think this is a clean look, what do you think?

    Very slick! I personally like the turn-signals in front of the light, but everyone has their own style and this is a great option for those who want something different. I guess they also didn't care for the headlight covers as well?

    Off topic question— looks like you have some sort of sealant or weather stripping around the front windshield— looks really nicely done. Can you tell me what you did there?

    I like it. I pondered the same lights but did an LED headlight and fog light update that fits my theme.

    The halo rings are daytime driving lights. Looks pretty cool, they then double as turn signals in amber.

    Hi Jim,

    Client wanted a "cleaner look" around the headlight area. He did not like the look of the headlight covers. We can always install them later if he changes his mind.

    The front windshield was finished off with a Permatex product called "The Right Stuff". It is marketed as a one minute gasket. It comes in a caulking tube (purchased at Carquest).

    It is a rubber base product, has U.V Protection and extremely durable.

    It is tricky to apply, it can be very messy. We masked both sides of the windshield groove before applying the product. Remove masking right after applying .

    The result is a very clean and seamless appearance.

    I really like your look. Having the halo rings as daytime running lights is a nice look!
