EDIT:

 

However not sure, if maybe we´d need some other numbers/letters for the Fezz version, because of different projectors etc.

But I´m not the one who can answer this. I´d just be applying the changes on the covers for fezz´s clusters if they will be needed.

ideally the covers would be consumable and easy to unclip and replace , or repolish.

You probably allready know it, but oem euro and UK lettering on the lenses is also different.

Yep, when you read in my thread, you will see that this has been "kept in mind".

There will be UK and Euro versions!!

 

But please, BTT here. That´s not the lens cover thread, but the cluster thread.

For any discussion about the lens covers in particular, please post in the individual thread ;)

Yes, there is progress on these. No I'm not going to disclose all of it yet, I don't want to have development as public as the heaters to reduce pressure to sell before they are ready. Current plan is to develop units identical or similar as possible to OEM units, with bi-xenon projector in place of halogen unit. Changes to construction will be significant and will be intended to produce more durable units. The lenses will not unclip, the headlamp units are very compact and there simply isn't space to add a latching mechanism. Further more the need is not regular enough to demand a latching design.
