Singer LED Headlights
does anyone know who makes the lights that Singer puts on their car? Not sure if those are somewhat stock front fenders or if they have been modified to accept a different headlight.

Do some headlight thread searching, this has been discussed in some detail. I think their "thing" is all custom and not directly available. The case with most of their mods..

Custom lights made by/for Singers only.

Those things require a lot of modification. They are GT-2 lights I think, and may not be street legal.

True about the lamps themselves. But do you see a headlight "bucket"? I don't. And where do you put the ballast?

I think the fenders are carbon fibre, obviously not stock, just like most everything else they built. Singer headlights will never be a bolt-on for our cars.
After taking another look, and judging by the weird, suspiciously stock looking lip around the headlight opening, perhaps the lens may just be a standard clear unit from an early car. The reflector is likely a chromed plastic piece to finish the open space between the lens and the projector mounting plate in the fender. The ballasts could go anywhere you might find a spot nearby.

What I'm saying about the ballasts is that they are not zip-tied to the closest nearby wire. All of that stuff is custom fabricated and re-thought. The lights are an example of just how extreme Singer is willing to take a concept.

Check out Chris Harris' Youtube video on the Singer. One of the Singer guys explains the HID's. They are for LMP race cars and pretty expensive.

Thanks for the pics and all. Was hoping there was some realistic alternatives. will search the other threads. Apologies for not doing the thorough search on previous conversations
