I'd be interested if they were at least a marginal improvement on oem and slightly cheaper than the obscene prices vxl charge and actually available to order. Oh, hang on...... Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do you think you will have units ready for sale by the end of April?

 

I have to import my VX from Germany back to the UK so I'm interested if I can get a set of these before then, otherwise I have to have my OEM ones converted back to RHD.

Hi Tom,

 

Will you have extra stock ? I thought my headlights were fine, and then I gave them a look last night.. turns out a botched dremel work was done on the left hand side, grommets are gone, etc etc. So I may be in the game for a new set, but I realize I am late to the chase...?

 

Cheers

Next batch will be April time, this time is dictated by the carbon fibre manufacturer who is busy with F1 work until then.

I think for one guy in his spare time to do this is remarkable.

Hey Tom ! I was reading through ECE regulations 48 and 98 for work ... what is your take on levelling ? Did you get the written exemption because we are falling out of the category where the angle change is significant ? My reading of the MOT manual and regulations made it sound like we could get away with a manual levelling system ?

 

Also... any updates ? :)
