The headlights are from an e-class mercedes, but just the covers, the actual headlights are projector lenses from a 7-series BMW. Turn signals are LEDs like the taillights. And just like the tail lights, the front lights (and horn) are controlled wirelessly from the dashboard processor, so just a single 12v wire runs to the headlights.



What might not be so clear, is that the grill is the ultimate grill block.
It isn't a grill at all, but a picture of a bugeye grill done in vinyl !!
So it is a complete "grill block" with a totally smooth surface, but gives me the "look".
Looks like a cool racing aero version of a frog-eyed prite!

good work
