Homemade Headlight Delete

ReaperMotorsports · Sep 19, 2012

Heres what i came up with for deleting the headlight and losing some weight. Removed plastic under the headlight and replaced it with aluminum sheetmetal. Then made a bracket to mount the windshield and tach then added a vent to it. After all the fab work is done the vents made for the nose and headlight delete will be powder coated. Let me know what you think!

Im going to be running a Single Row Off Road LED Driving Light up in front of the windshield just in case so i still have a light up front

I like anything custom that is done right. That is a nice looking guage mount piece. Any car audio fabrication in your background lol? Looks like you could use the Evo cold air intake hose to finish that off.

You read my mind. The evo cold air intake will finish it out nicely with 2 bd filters out the factory holes. And no audio fab going on but theres alot of car fabrication going on

Nice. Grew up on a large farm so building, fabricating, and make work were all in my vocabulary. Did a fair bit of Autobody along the way that helped with custom car installs I do.

We're you able to measure the amount of weight you shaved? All the weights I've seen with headlight deletes are off of 800 proclimbs. I've thought maybe there was 5 lbs to shave but some companies are boasting much bigger weight losses. Nice work by the way.

It feels alot lighter then it did but i have not weighed a stock one and this one to compare weights of the two

Headlight = 3.56lbs
Intake Assembly = 2.15lbs
Bottom of Intake = 1.32lb
Plastic Filter Cover = .38lbs

Roughly a total of 7.41lbs of parts that are not being used anymore

Should be seeing the LED Light coming in this week, prefilter material for the vent showed up Friday. So its just a matter of finishing mounting things up and sending out for powder coat. I have 7 more kits going to be available for sale consisting of the aluminum plate, bracket, and vent w/ prefilter. More pics to come once its all together..
I got the Light from rigid industries for 279 is a driving light but the pics posted above look awsome! So if your looking for a light Cyclops looks like great one too
