Will do Steve, just waiting for the moulding materials to arrive

Well, a bit more of an update ! I now know exactly what's necessary to complete them and i'm very close to putting up finished pics :th:

Finally managed to sort out the custom adjustable bases using sheet aluminium and m4 studding with spring loaded posts for adjustment :



Then cut away the metal to clear the lights :


Roughly fitted :



Polycarbonate cover placed over the top :



Wired up ! :



I now need to order the other 3 projectors and then modify 2 of them for twin filament bulbs to allow true quad dipped beam and twin full beam. I've got to do the same with the passenger side yet but you get the idea. Still got lots to do but the end is near :th:

Hope you like

Just for the record, it's been bought to my attention that some users of the site may have complained about me possibly advertising a product for sale without having a 'trader' membership. I can assure everyone concerned that should my reproductions be successful and if there are other users who would like to buy them from me, I am happy to upgrade my membership for the priviledge - I'm purely gaining interest before committing if you can understand

for christ sake!!! think it's a bit early for people to be moaning about that!!!

maybe if you'd already sold a bunch of units, doesn't surprise me though


lights look good though mate, you should try and make some pop up versions of the quad ones,

[gazrev1tubby]

Thanks Sheppy - I know mate I thought the same, but I'd like to cover my @rse rather than have the thread removed or locked

That's possibly my next plan bud - low rise quads - already have a few ideas floating around

Right, bit more of an update although not a huge one

Managed yesterday to take a plaster mould of the the drivers side housing to see if it'll be possible to re-create them - it broke :no: but I might be able to repair it :rolleyes:



Finally received the dual filament bulbs so I can run 4x dipped beam and 2x full beam - but just look at the size difference



I had to bore out one of the projector housings to be able to fit the bulb, after a BIG gulp



Then had to figure out a way to hold the bulb in place, so I tapped a couple of screws into the housing and then using springs and a dremel on the bulb base - ended up with this




Mounted the lights to the housings




Wired them up to an old battery




The 'outside' light which is the bigger full/dipped beam bulb is actually a blue xenon 7500k hid look bulb so it looks a lot more intense than the smaller h1 but i've ordered a pair of the h1 bulbs in the same 7500k so they will look the same when lit up.

Drivers side finished - passenger almost there :th:

Almost done :th:

A lot of thought going into these

these wouldn't happen to be the same knob jockeys wanting a set for 50quid would it?

[gazrev1tubby]

Not sure bud but it wouldn't surprse me ! The amount of effort and thought that's gone into these are unreal and I'm not sure that I could even replicate them cost effectively as they would be far more expensive than I first thought. I reckon I'll be lucky to see change from £300 just to mine !!!!
As rogue (patrick?) said in his post on here - the reason they didn't mass produce their version is due to end user cost and they have far more resources than me i

[gazrev1tubby]

Another update everyone, they are now finished :yahoo: thoughts, opinions ?

A few pics for you to feast on

In situ showing the wiring and adjustment bases


Fitted with lenses installed




Lit up



A tasteful side shot


Just got to readjust the bonnet slightly and give the car a damn good wash

Taken a long time but I think they look awesome

[Marf]

They look great, very nice fit and finish

Any chance of a rogue style lights on wall demo of the brightness/beam pattern?

Cheers bud, i'm very happy with them although it's taken me an age to make them !!!!
I've got to run down to my local mot place at some point to get the beams set so as soon as thats done i'll put some more pics up

Technically the car is dead at the mo with a piston ring failure during mapping but a little drive donw the road and back shouldn't hurt to get them set up

[MRV6]
