Is there a general how-to for this? I'd love to do this.. I don't want to buy full projector headlights, but love the output they give..

that would be sick, but i imagine itd be damn tricky, although i think some of the ones that swivel are based off of lateral g's and stuff like that, kinda like an accelerometer, so that kinda setup would def. work
