Quad headlamp conversion
-
looks like theyll need some mounts making up since the orig mounts are on the shell, those quads dont have that shell as they use spot lights instead, I reckon your lighting will be awful since the lights are recessed, normal quads have an open design so your light output range of discharge lights up most of the road, but those will restrict it
-
projector units will be going in there if anything :D
-
the same still applies to those, ive got bi projectors lined up for when I can find clear lenses for my own, only place i can find costs £80 just for the lense, which sucks when you think how you can buy a pair of dual halo projectors, with clear lense and housing for double that, but atleast it includes all the stuff.
-
were did you source your bi projector units from ?
-
ebay>china, its the EXACT same kit that you get over here, even down to the packaging, except near enough half the price. If you want quality gear, go to the retrofit source, the stuff they got is worth the money cos it will be better, no question, but its having £300-400 to burn thats the problem. As a note, all the projectors are in LHD, even if you buy them from the UK, since they buy them from the guys on ebay china, try asking, youll get told its lhd from china pps, but they wont answer if theyre from the UK

am i the only person that really doesn't like this style of lights? on any car?
-
Keep looking out as I have nearly done a section on projector headlights that will be online today or tomorrow that we can all do and will save you £180 on the RRP for uk spec ones :D :D

yes, but you dont even own an mx3, so your opinion is null and void :p
-
fair point i guess lol. i just never liked the morette style of lights and these seem very similar. maybe with a spot of chrome or black paint with a lens but thats just me :lol:

Got a reply back from Peninsula - Looks like the same guy as the reply was pretty much word for word the same as the reply to YouDirtyFox.

dont tell anyone, but I think they look hideous on any car too, only bmw have got the right balance, but recessed is yuk

mate i dont like them either, and of course your opinion is as valid as the next man.
Butt ugly according to my Spidy senses, but as said there are people that like them!

im so glad its not just me. i think i may have offended some people by saying that :lol:
-
OMG Im so fuckin offended right now …... NOT :lol:
seriously lads if someone is offended by your opinion
then thems the ones with the issues :wink:
-
I wouldnt worry about offending people, its just an opinion, which is part of the point of forums, making your opinion known and adding your input.
Its not like your doing a rusty, hes created a sport out of aggitating canadians :D
-
I just find them, dare i say it, chavvy. you see the same style on a saxo vtr or 206 gti etc etc (endless list) and i think the mx3 desires to be a more classy.
what aboooot canadians? :lol:

i saw a set on a coach i drove past today, like below for example, hehe

lol im sure yours will look good when done, like the rest of that sexy beast, i just cant picture it :(
-
lol @ the coaches
Thanks Man 8) I do agree to some extent they are too far sunken in
at the moment, some cars may suit quads more than others though?
I think the hulks up the side of the bonnet leading into the headlight on the 3
would compliment a body coloured light unit of somekind. I do wnat brighter lights but tbh ive gone off ebay halo projectors as they look to fussy on the inside (bevels, fins, leds) to be bodycoloured, im after a real
clean look upfront…
...someting like this maybe mwahahahah :shock: :lol:
:oops:
-
yeh i get what your going for and they should slide into the clean look quite nicely :)
yet to be fully convinced but i will be watching your project thread closely 8)
