Location of headlights.
Jesus-Ninja - 11/12/08 at 11:29 AM

Given that I have widened the body significantly with my arches, are there likely to be problems with the headlight location. I'd like to use the original location.




The arches will of course be extended similarly at the rear - likely to be any issues there?

The headlight has to be a maximum of 400mm to the edge of the light from the widest body part. This might even be your rear wheel arches.
Get your tape measure out........

If you're SVAing then from memory, the headlights have to be within 400mm of the outer edge of the widest part of the car.

HTH,
