King Hauler / pererbilt / Kenworth headlights

[kingnighthauler]

Having now finally finished the paint on my king Hauler build i now have a headlight dilemma, I didn't do anything with the standard headlight housing.
I am not sure weather to follow the pererbilt of Kenworth theme yet, so was wondering what others have done.

did you cut away the light bucket? if so go with a set of peterbilt lights if not go with a set of KW lights


or these

No stupidly i didn't cut the buckets out so it looks like KW lights or maybee wait untill the new Grand hauler ones start coming avalible, thanks for your reply.

Peterbilt have head lights on brackets coming off the side of the grill, they are available from PMD Garden Trucking.., Kenworth have head lights built into the front fenders.., the early truck (both Peterbilt and KW) had twin round lights, the later models have twin square...

I made my own by cutting down a spear rear bumper and getting Rear Reverse Light Lenses (S Parts - Clear) from the Container Trialer kit... the conversion only took me a couple of hours.... ? ? ?

Now that is what I want to do,great thank you, I have a rear bumper i don't want so it's 2 x "S" parts from the container trailer kit I need?

[kingnighthauler]

Did you need to cut much from the original headlight holes on the body?

[Teri_W]

I didn't cut too much out from the Kings original headlights, just enough to put the twin buckets in.... I didn't file any on the height, just the width, it fits only just as the hole is all the way to the outside and maybe ½ a mm from the bonnet... fixed in with Hot Glue....

and you'll need 2 x S Parts Clear... if you get stuck finding them I have 2 sets of S Parts Clear spare as I was going to do all my rear lenses clear but changed my mind....
