Grittracing, that's an excellent look! When I dropped my bumper I just took the angle grinder to my front end and installed the old-style turn signals....but I had a set from my 74', maybe they are expensive?

Here's where I decided to place my 4" Hella Angel Eyes.
These things are letting me see things in the road at night that I didn't know were there!
No more near misses with suicidal deer for me.

I installed a set of Hella 500 fog lights in the lower grill area. These things are amazing. I can literally light up an entire 2 lane highway(both directions of traffic) with these things and the beam is perfectly flat and and doesnt spill up into oncoming traffic/passenger compartments. I'll try to take a picture of the beam pattern tonight at some point to show off. This in my mind is a huge huge huge huge huge upgrade. Best $90 I've spent in terms of improving visibility and safety

I picked up a set of the small rectangulat lights and plan to mount them thru the spoiler

Another board member has asked to see images of how my lights are mounted. So for all that may be interested.
Here you can see the orientation of the mount bracket on the rear of the lamp

Here with the hood open you can see the lens and the bracket mounting screws.

Hi,

Are those Campagnolos or Cromodoras, Type No.?

Thanks,
Mark

[WYSpider]

Those look like Bi-Turbos.

[leeputmanjr]

Yes, they are BiTurbo rims.

[opus10583]

Yes, they are BiTurbo rims.

Thanks, love that look, would have liked to have a found a set like them.

Might still be looking but, I just bought a set of vintage Campies in Italy.

Do you know how much they weigh?

Thanks,
Mark

[leeputmanjr]

No, sorry, no idea how much they weigh!

I used to run CD-3's (Magnesium, VERY light!):


However, with 13" rubber getting tough to find, the 14" BiTurbos seemed to make sense. I also like how they 'fill-out' the wheel well better.

...and back on topic...here is where I used to have my driving lights:



Since then, I have set the '74 bumpers back MUCH closer to the body, and I added a chin spoiler. Putting the lights below (I think) helped 'draw the eye' to the improved front end aesthetic.
