Post by: robert1839 on August 19, 2013, 10:23:58 PM
i love the looks of the MGs that have the fog lights and i think that at night it would really help light the road but i want to add something to make mine different than all the others i want to make them flip around like in the movie flubber i only want the 2 center ones not all 4 like in the movie i want them to rotate around dose anyone know of a place where i could get some lights like that if not i will have to make some

IIRC the Citroën headlights pivot with the steering.  That may be a place to start.

How about those old spotlights from the 50s and 60s?
They swivel and fold in just like your movie.
Rod shops sell them new and a remote control setup (cables?) shouldn't be too hard.
