Not really (at least not production), but do a search for Manny Wong's GT on the site. He did a pretty slick conversion to flat headlamps.

Well for that kind of money I can make you some headlights like Manny's, it takes to sets of buckets to make them. They will be ready for final primer sealer and paint, have the lights( adjustable aim) and will operate as the conventional lights do. You use the existing hardware to mount the new buckets. They will be metal not carbon fiber. PM for discussion of pricing if interested.

not that Good

I visit only when the sun is shining, Just kidding, I try to hit the site atleast once a day, or mainly at night; after working outside in this 100+++ temps we have been having lately , and on weekends about five or six times. The Office is Air Conditioned and the shop is not. Maybe if the Shop was 74 and the Office was 110 I would spend more time in the shop instead of sitting at the desk in front of the computer . I know that I would get more things done that way. I will start checking around for some lights and go form there.
I have already found a easy install for electric windows in the GT have article finished just have to do some more pictures. I am also looking for an easy install for the Manta and Ascona to convert to electric windows. As the GT set up is fully concealed except for the buttons to run them up and down I want to find the same function and looks (unseen) for the Ascona and Manta. Electric door locks are easy to set up and are Key fob operated and if equipped with Automatic trans and FI remote start is possible.

Hi! I'm Brian and I live in Anderson, SC and I was interested in finding out how much you would charge to make the new headlight fixture. I'm new to this site and new to buying an Opel GT. But I do like the idea of changing out the headlights. Please help me. Reply to true_axe"at"hotmail.com. Thanks, Brian

Brian, this topic is almost two years old, and Rodney (Killingsworth, aka Killer Texas GT) may have moved on to other things that interest him. That isn't to say that he isn't still interested, but the odds are better if you contact him directly via either the OGT.com e-mail system or our PM system (I don't recall which Rodney uses, but it will come up under his "profile").

Oh, by the way, I'll edit your post to remove the direct link to your e-mail addresses. There are nasty search spiders that roam the Internet to harvest e-mail addresses for the spammers. Best to avoid THAT treat!
