    2G headlight bucket conversion questions.

    Hey guys, Im swapping in some 2G headlight buckets and keeping my 1G bumper and I have a few questions.

    1. What kind of cutter should I use to cut the buckets from my car. I used a regular drill bit to remove the 2G buckets from the donor car, but I cant do that to my car as there would be nothing to weld the buckets to on my car.

    2. Any tips on welding the buckets in? Im planning on tacking about 4 or 6 spots before I start going at it. Being that the metal is so thin, what setting should my welder be on (eastwood mig)? Im guessing a little bit lower on the amperage?

    3.Wiring up the 2G headlights is pretty simple on the headlight end. On 1G cars the high and low beam are not on at the same time, and are not wired to be. IIRC the 2G headlights both are on when the highs are on. How do I go about wiring them both to be on with a 1G harness? Im guessing a jumper wire on a relay would work, but If there is a better way I am all for it.
