Keystone Customs now Offers 3 types of Kato NW2 Replacement Headlight Housings

[Lemosteam]

Designed for Ed K. for his lost headlight housing, these housings more closely represent proto photos provided by him than the OEM design.

Cool, but are all three links showing the same picture or have I had too much wine with dinner?

They all look the same to me, too.


Hmm... of course, Kiz
doesn't know what he's
looking at...

Are you sure it wasn't the wine????   

First, thanks for looking!  I don't have photos of the others, but I will update the website with Renders. The captions on the photos state that "dual horizontal sealed beam shown".

So a standard headlight has a hole in the end, and a vertical is identical to the horizontal, with the sealed beams rotated ninety degrees.

Looking at the 3D render at Shapeways should let you see them.

I want to give John a big shout out for these.

Not only did he save my bacon big time when it came to finding a replacement part, these actually look far for the modernized versions than I would've achieved with the Kato one and the Wutter part (as nice as they are).

The thing I'm really impressed by is how well they fit right into the OEM mounting holes. I used a little micro-krystal-kleer to tack them in, but I almost didn't need to!

Yet another awesome @Lemosteam effort.

Oh, and in case you're wondering why they come in a 4 pack, when usually you'll only need two? I lost two of the OEM parts while trying to work on them, so we figured spares would be worth the minor incremental cost increase.

Thanks again John!!

They come ion a four pack also because individually they are too small for Shapeways to print them, so I have to make a sprue of them to make the design large enough to print, but if they are this easy to lose...
