Even if you cut the fibreglass cone out compltetly and got the whole thing (mount+light+bucket) behind the fibreglass hole... surely you'll only see 6/8's of the actual light...right??? Or have i missed something? Thanks guys Chris Serious guys… i dont understand how you’ll get 7″ headlights in… im tempted to say you’re trying to redefine the laws of physics LOL

I kinda see what Rod says about the size, but without a 5 3/4 inch light im not 100% commited to his comments just yet. Theyve got metal tabs and screws hanging all over the place and so they dont fit correctly with the kit... The 3 screw tabs are "pretty close" to being correctly positioned but its going to need work regardless. Its not like NARVA have advertised this as a Eleanor part anyway. Im thinking a dremal tool will help do the job, but its going to be custom work on each side until it fits correctly I will mock up the 7" light tonight and decide which way i want to go... and without looking at it right now im sure the 7" was just too big for the kit?? But maybe chopping the rear part of the cone is the ticket to fitting 7's ??? Or are you "7" people just chopping out the entire cone and mounting the light (aeoroform kit, light etc) to the fender and the light simply sticks through the upper valance??? Thanks for your opinions and information.. Chris Hey peoples,

What we are doing is using is the 7 inch buckets from aeroform and fitting them from behind. Buckets still had to be modified I can send photo's if you want. Thanks Rod Hi Guy’s

Steve from Prototypes Plus seemed to be confident about 7" working Cameron (though i can see cutting up the fibre glass would be required to make it happen). To date, what ive done is ordered some 5 3/4 inch NARVA Headlamp Housings (part number 72186) from Repco (http://www.narva.com.au/products/browse/housings). Please be aware i dont know if this is the right thing to get, but once they arive i will have a play and discuss my findings here... Regards, Chris Hi Guys, thanks for all the replies.

We bought the Aeroform bracket kit, but we still had to make some mods. That goes the same for the other small light kit from PIAA that I bought from the USA they are to small to fit the holes (panelbeater has the shits with me) as he has to make more changes. Hi Chris,
