Are those the chrome optronics housings? How much do they weigh? Are they metal or coated plastic?
Oh, I will be drilling the swinggrip once I make a decision on if the hole will be top-to-bottom or front-to-back.

They are the Optronics housings, they are metal. Bulbs are a pair of 20W MR16's, one is a 'power saver' 20W 8 degree spot (replaces 35W bulb), the other is a 15 degree 20W spot.

Up/Down aiming will be easy to do with the joint in the housings (as seen in photos). Left/Right aiming will be harder if I go with a front-to-back drilling.
