I got mine from EVO-R in America they weren\'t as cheap as those  but alot cheaper than most of the others and i think they look better than any sleek headlights i have seen! Jurgen said they were a pain in the ass to fit though but even he loved the end result!

Lol, yea, I used some the Burnout wallpaper to create it!

I would change it to mine, but its not finished!

The EVO-R ones are the one in RXStore.net - did you go direct to EVO-R or through a distributor?

Thanks,

James

The other option is to do a bit of grafting if you have tme & make your own like I did :)

see the fabrication would be easy but its finding a light cluster small enough to a make a decent non blinding light pattern and b accept a hid conversion so everythings lit up not just the oncoming traffic and owls

Any dip beam projector unit will house a HID bulb & also the majority of them ar 70mm which is just enough to squees them in & have them pointing on the road ;)

The Newer MGF has got projector main & dip beam, so has the ford Cougar and a few others I have seen....

You don\'t really need them to be dipped beam projectors do you? Can\'t you just use the two middle lights for dipped beam (and have them pointing downwards more at the road), and then use the two outside ones for full beam (and have them pointing forwards)?

How did you go about aligning the lights jono? How do you adjust them? I thought about making some myself but figured they\'d be all over the place!

Those light units look a bit deep, you\'d have to cut away a lot of the supporting/frame metal behind the lights, might even foul the expansion tank/washer bottle -if you wanted the RE-A look.

For MOT\'s you need your dip beam units to have the correct beam pattern for driving on the UK roads, basicaly it\'s so you don\'t dazzle the oncoming traffic! I made the adjusters myself as I was very tight for space! but correct, yoou don\'t need projector lights for dip beam, but you will be very hard pushed to find something small enough to use for the flush conversion with the correct beam pattern!
