never came across any, but something like the headlights mounted on a rear spoiler could be pushing it

interesting, SVA defines the dipped beam max/min height, distance from side but no angles of visibility nor how far from front .... so it seems you
can fit them to the rear wheel arches...

no issues where you want to put the lights, sounds fine. Has no relation to where the front axle is.
I always thought on a single seater just above the drivers head would be a great place...russbost

lol... probably not, because you would have visibility problems except from head on

the driver would for sure but as far as I caould see, no visibility angles mentioned in SVA; I guess they rely on common sense in this instance.

Mine were fitted just in front of the front suspension (where the new lights now are) for SVA, that's a good 2'+ from the front of the
nose.
Atoms have them just to the front side of the passenger compartment don't they?
I assume the only criteria is that there is nothing in front that will interfere with the beam pattern.
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.
