Hi all, I'm new to this thread. My name is Ocean. I have a Bradley GT2. LOVING it, although it's a work in progress. It's electric. And right now I'm having a little trouble with the headlights (the motor control is not functioning properly). That being said, before I dig into it, I was considering options to change the lights all-together. I saw how some people put Linear Actuators in place of the motor. That's a cool idea... so maybe. But what I really want is an upgrade that looks like a clear lens protruding from the surface - with LED lights. BUT I don't want to modify the body fiberglass. I want a drop in replacement of the right shape, that's mounted in a fixed position. I was looking for similar stuff for the Corvette and I found it on Ebay. (like this) www.ebay.com/itm/DEPO-97-98-99-00-01-02-04-CHEVY-CORVETTE-C5-BLACK-CLEAR-PROJECTOR-HEADLIGHTS/302521439944?fits=Model%3ACorvette&epid=941512815&hash=item466faed6c8:g:bKgAAOSwPcVViPW8&vxp=mtrSo does anyone know if the GT2's headlight cover is modeled from another specific vehicle? If so, it might be a starting place to look for fixed-headlight upgrade kits (that would fit right in). thanks! -Ocean

I used those headlights on my GT. They required extensive body mods in order to fit that included a bit of geometry to find the sweet spot to place them so they were aimed in the correct direction and still met the required 22" height. There are no adjustments, unlike the GM headlight assemblies used in the Bradleys. I don't own a GT2 so I can't speak about the the bucket size but I seriously doubt anything else is a direct replacement.

"GM Headlight assemblies used on the Bradley"
Do you mean the original Bradley GT or the GT2? Do you know what model GM they are from?
So you used those headlights (from Ebay) on your GT. How do you like them? You said you had to do extensive body mods - did that mean changing the fiberglass of the body, or adding structure to support the new light, or both?
thanks,-O

I had to fill the original headlight locations, cut new holes and build a structure to support the headlights from underneath. Again I don't own a B2 but the original Bradley buckets I have have Corvair assemblies.
