lol, yeah i realize that, but I didn't feel like writing pre-WWII vehicle headlights. Plus OG in the demographic I grew up around is defined differently. Unfortunately, I will always use it in the wrong context in the vw world. but thanks for pointing it out, I feel so embarrased...

So has anyone out fitted this light set up with HID?

Actually they do make fiberglass repros, I saw them when I was ordering the chrome rings on my other one, Here's link, they have most the parts you'll need for one,
