    Hey Everyone
    Ive been trying to locate a pair of Woodlite Headlights for Eliza Jane. I was wondering what you all think of how they would look. I emailed Danny from Counts Kustoms to see if they can reproduce them on a 3d printer. I know that they werent practical for light so I would mount a pair of slim headlights where my fog lights would go. I think that they would make her look BAD@$$! Any thoughts?

    Had never heard of them until I read your post.

    Pretty wicked looking!

    I saw some on ebay but they werent a functional set. The real ones go for around 4,000.00 a pair if you can find them and they sell fast. Thats why Im hoping that they could be reproduced for much less. With her grey body and black fenders Eliza Jane would look even better! Like the difference between high heels and stilletos.

    Regarding the question of whether it could be done on a 3d printer: My son is senior partner in an architectural firm that bought and is starting to use a 3d printer for some of their models etc. I have seen enough 3d printed stuff to say that most certainly yes it could be done. But for just 2 of them, it would be pricey.

    I wonder how many would need to be produced to make it cost effective. When I google them many hot rod owners want them but cant get them. I think it would be a great piece of history to bring back and they would sell like hot cakes. Im not sure who owns the rights to the designs but maybe its possible. Me and thousands of others would really love to have a set!

    They bring to mind the “Scream” face in a “Robocop” helmet. Just a first impression.

    I’m not lovin it either. But I think it’s be cool if someone did it. And could see them going good on pre-war, full-size coach work.

    Several years ago there was a company making reproductions in cast aluminum. They did not have the lens to complete the lights. Lens is a big drawback.
