Can you give some examples of a standard 7" headlight? I'm having a hard time imagining what that would look like since so many headlight assemblies these days are unique to their model vehicle with standardized bulbs for the housing.
Just do a search for 7 inch round headlight and click on images. Now half of those are going to be motorcycle headlights, and some others have things like turn signals built in, but you can quickly see there are lots of options.
See the Jeep Wrangler from 1997 to 2018. Numerous motorcycles, and the NA Miata just off the top of my head. If you go back 30-35 years-ish, thousands of vehicle had standard rectangular or round headlights. As stated, search on amazon "7" headlight" and you'll be hit by infinite amounts of options.
My first thought was the sealed beam H6024, which I have on my CJ-7. I didn't think Chrysler used that same incandescent/halogen H6024 on the TJ & JK - did they? I doubt Slate would use the H6024, but I could be wrong.
But then it raises the issue that it's a Federal requirement that the battery has an 8 year/100,000 warranty. So if the battery pack quits will they send you a new one and refund any costs associated with having a garage replace it. I'm hoping they battery pack will be reliable but if not, how will it work?
No but they used the same mounts with non-sealed light. So just the bulb can be replaced. Also Yeah may have gotten that wrong, though TJ used the modern style. My bad. Still same mounts
They have already stated all warranty work with go through Repair Pal service centers (national coverage, basically it’s a booking app/site for shops to get business, and use fir scheduling so you’ll have a large selection if locations likely near you, you can search them now for whats in your area). Anything that’s warranty can go through any repair pal center that will take you in basically, Slate will pay that shop similar to how 3rd party warranties work now. Also, as they stated, smaller warranty repairs can be done at home (no full details yet), but I’m sure uou aren’t going to get paid labor, easy way to have Slate save money for those who don’t trust shops for things they can do at home.
I've been seeing quite a few Bronco hard tops around that have the plastic tops painted all sorts of colors. They look really well done. I have been rooting around their owners forums to see what was used for those.
Those tops are a fiberglass material, just like Jeep. Both just get painted with the exact same paint at the same time as the metal panelsI've been seeing quite a few Bronco hard tops around that have the plastic tops painted all sorts of colors.

Edit: This owner on the forums did near exactly what I'd do with my Slate, just Deep Emerald Green instead of Eruption:
oh interesting, I didn't know they were different from the really basic ones I was seeing. I did some digging and there are indeed two hardtop types on the Broncos:
Thanks. Do you think this is the type of headlamp Slate will use? I'm not so sure they will, but that's just me.
What's shown on the demo trucks has been a projector lamp, I haven't seen one online that quite matches, but there are a LOT of round 7 inch headlamps out there.
