those arent sleek lighs...theyre bug eyes and look awful
theres couple of options. darknight7777777 on heres got some c west style lights for one?
I do have a set but I am currently waiting for a h4 plug harness from the USA so the kit can be plugged into the existing stock harness without cutting and work of stock headlight switches. I am also using original FET Catz made in japan lamps and the middle cover made with real black carbon. The kit should be ready for sale sometime next week. I will post it on the for sale section when done.
Those aren\'t E rated, so will fail the MOT on beam pattern

being e rated and have a beam pattern is 2 different things...
i have a set of re am sleek "style" lights... the light units are e marked, but have NO beam pattern... luckily i found a mot place that over looked it....
Thats what ....ing me off about this kit and thats why I havent put the kit up for sale so far, I also am fitting the kit to my own car and my mot is due in a couple of months. I was planning to post up what do other c-west kits owners do. I guessing the options are put the original pop-ups back mot time or replace the main beams with e rated ones which i am currently looking for.

that is where i got my re am sleek lights from rx7 boy... leeaq has changed the light units now but from what i have seen they dont have a beam pattern on...
you need a beam pattern even if they are e marked, basically high beam dont need a pattern but dipped do! the lights i got with my set are basically 2 e marked non patterened lights...

I got my replacement lights from S-V-C for my C-West units, the results can be seen in my car thread (see link below in my Sig)..
Got a question for you malice.
Would these be fully legal
http://www.s-v-c.co.uk/prod/bi-halogen.html
Don\'t see why they wouldn\'t be, dipped and main beam, e marked and Hella, if you email S-V-C they can send you PDF dimensions of the lighting unit to, so you can check they fit before you commit. They were very helpful when i sorted my lights out.
Got another question.
How does the dipped and main work, i know in H4 lamps you have dual fillament but these?
Thanks Feed Addict i will contact them tommorrow.
meant the lamps i linked from S-V-C
yeh they are legal as said, e marked and dipped and main beam all in one unit... when you switch from dipped to main it will move the mask out of the way of the light giving the main light and when back to dipped the light mask will move back in to place.
Like i said in you P.M i think those will be to large for the C-West unit though. That is why i replaced the dipped beam only and left the Hid high beam seperate.
PDF of the units i worked with, hope it helps mate!
Thanks to Feed Addict and Malice i have now solved my biggest headache now all i have to get is the h4 male plugs and the lamps i will have 2 sets of C-west replica kits for sale sooner than i thought.
