Re: PIAA light conversion

To get those to fit under the hoodline you're going to need to cut out a lot of material where the stock headlight buckets fit. Also fog beams don't have enough range for lowbeams and the driving lights are too narrow a beam and have no cutoff so they will glare for oncoming drivers. The only DOT legal option is Hella 90mm projectors, but some don't like the round lights on the LT1s.

Those things are huge! I used to have them on my old Chevy truck. I think they'd be too big IMO not to mention out of place on an F-bod
