Euro headlight +++ I WISH....

[1967250s]

I played with the "Monster" today and this what I came up with.
DAM, it look's good with euro on! The color is somewhat Healey blue.

Enjoy

I really don't like the euros. I think the dual-beams look nicer with the chrome around them IMO.

Very nicely done!!!
I see you put on a star and changed the windows to look like a coupe!

Thank you Ed.
It was not my plan to do so, because of the angle of the pic, the left rear window was missing, for symmetry, I had to "vangogh" the right one.

I REALLY like the Euro look. The headlights look like jewels.

Wouldn't it be correct to remove the bullet signal indicators?
You would have TWO turn signals going on on each side 4! with Hazards, maybe keep em there!

EDIT:
Whoa nevermind, I see some newer pictures loaded in

Decades ago, my Dad had a Euro stickshift 250SE. It had 5" Hella Fogs in place of the USA bullet or psuedo-fog turn signals. Didn't have the Euro headlamps though. They were probably discarded by the previous owner as they weren't legal then. The Euro grey and blue cloth seats were falling apart so we found a complete perfect tan leather interior in a local salvage yard for $250. (Ahh, the good old days!) Except for the rust, I wish I had that one today.

I'd love to have Euro headlamps on 'Miss Daisy', but aside from the cost, I'd be getting paranoid in parking lots. The USA headlamp chrome is easy to find and the sealed beam lamps are cheap (And some say they work better than the Euros!)

Happy Motoring, Mark

Man, I wish I could.

I have some pics on the computer in .Art format on the AOL picture finder, but I can't seem to use them in that state. I don't know enough to convert to Jpg if that's possible.
I would love to post those pics though.

[1967250s]

Do you have an image editor/viewer of some sort?
If you do, open image go to file an save as a copy, you should have a choice of format, choose .jpg.
Other solution is to replace the .art by .jpg that may work if not send it to me, I'll see what I can do...... gravelle@uqo.ca

Here is another pic whitout the signal lights.

[joshhol]

Hey 1967250s
I was able to convert the pics to jpg or bmp but they are too large to attatch to the post.
Any more help would be appreciated. I would like to learn how to do it, otherwise i'll send them right along to you.
Thanks

This was the best I could do with what I got joshhol....

[joshhol]

Dan! Thanks man!


Well, that's the picture that sold me on the car when I saw it on Ebay. Had not seen any MB like that before.
I've got more pics, but don't know how to post them.
Should I just send them to you?

Yes you can send a couple to me; do not modify them in anyway, the one I recieved was in bad shape. Do not send them in .bmp
I'll then send them back to you in the right size to post on shopforum.
Did you know that there are to type's of euro headlight!? Flat and dome, (I should have paire of the more disirable "dome" one's in the near future!) the one's depicted in my rendition of "the monster" are the flat type (the only one I hade to play with).

You lucky "basterges", these are two nice Fintails...
