Not gonna lie. I never even read this thread. I just saw the word "headlight" in the title and thought, "I don't need headlights." So pretty much ignored this thread.

Put the stencil on a piece of sheet metal and trace it out.

Cut the tracing out from the sheet metal with a pair of shears.

File down the edges and paint.

Exactly what I plan on doing

Only the "speed test" set. The direction of the carbon is the only difference

I'm going to finish this set hopefully tomorrow. I'll let you know. I did another pass at 130mph and they started to lift up, but nothing serious and even after holding 130 for a minute or so they never showed serious signs of wanting to fly out. I'll post ONCE in this thread when I start serious production but I don't want to get in trouble for anything. Mods if I'm overstepping my bounds let me know.
