the lamps are also attached to the whole front bumper. so if you would change, you would have to change the whole front.
Nope, the Foose ones are built in the bumper. CDCs were hand made, I spoke with the guy that did them.

NOT A CHANCE! Believe me, I asked...

I think they had some issues with getting DOT approval, because the lamp from the Jaguar (just the single lamp) didn't meet some standard, or something like that... anyways, point is that it was going to be really expensive to get it to work and produce.

Honestly, the best thing you can do is get some body/fiberglass guy to do the same. Buy a Jag lamp, buy an extra set of headlamps (which I have one set available!), have him take the plastic covers off, get the black plastic piece off, have him mold a new one like CDC did and build in the jag lamp. DONE!

An idea... buy fog lamps, take the headlamp covers off, glue the fog lamps (since they are sealed) over the current headlamp reflectors and paint the plastic pieces the color of your car!

so i called CDC today and talked to patrick in the tech department, he is the one that made these. he was a big help and gave me many suggestions. he is pushing to start production, but has had no luck yet. maybe if enough people call he can. im gonna play with my set in the next couple weeks and ill post up details when i get done. Thanks patrick, appreciate all the help!

Things just keep rolling. I do love the look of it from the vintage standpoint.. so retro. I also like Baxters painted insides and clear lens housing.
