    Glad to have you, I have poached a lot of ideas from this forum myself. If nothing else, it is great for reference.

    Well, I built the brackets for the fog lights which turned out pretty decent. The issue I now have is that for some reason the left side is higher than the right (in terms away from the front valance) and I cannot quite figure out why. Everything seems to be where is should be, yet they are off. The brackets are the same, the bumper brackets are pretty much where they are supposed to be and the valance is bolt up completely (lines up). So I am not sure what is happening but once I get it all mocked back up, I will look at it closer and see if I can figure it out.

    The brackets were a work in a progress, I knew where I wanted the lights to go, wasn't sure how to get them there. As it turned out, they are somewhat adjustable (front/back). I need to now look at what I am going to do for a filler to replace the stock one.

    they do look sharp.

    Are you using these as turn signals?

    As far as the filler, I would just use a 70 filler piece.

    No, I have turn signals in the headlights, these are in fact driving lights.

    the 70 piece is a good idea. I was contemplating making something out of sheet metal.

    I haven't mounted the headlights yet, but will try and stick one in and get a pic of it. I bought a generic 7" street rod type of headlight that takes an H4 bulb.

    no problem, I need to sort out my right headlight bucket as well. Not sure why it is apart completely, I don't remember taking it apart but it is and I need to try and find all the parts. I am thinking the springs were broken.
