I'm not in the market for any new front lights but if I was I'd like to know there wasn't going to let any water in before a parted with some money


Aimy - these are just the lenses and so you'd be responsible for bonding them to your original light cases. Whether or not they let water in depends on how well you seal them.


Arr I see makes sense now thanks :)/>
It's been a long day lol


It's a really easy job though

Fezzasus was working on a complete unit that would give better output as well though. That would be my choice if the price is right... This might result in him knocking that on the head though.

I'll be able to give some more details by the end of the year - not being secretive, just need some free time to sort everything out and right now my free time is spent making heaters. General theme of the replacement is: 1. better quality plastic, likely pigmented polycarb so that the entire light casing expands at the same rate (I think some of the gaps that form between the lens and rear is because they expand at different rates 2. better bonding surface between lens and rear (wider, ribbed to retain glue ect) 3. Legal xenon option That being said, I'm at least 6 months away from being able to sell them, so if anyone wants to spruce up their lights then the lenses detailed here is the way forward, plus it's a job you can do indoors which is ideal this time of year, as well as being cheaper than replacing the entire unit.

Sounds very interesting. For sure some "spiced up" version with a decent integration of light routing bar runing lights etc. (like current audis and so on) would be great. Do you plan to also produce the lens covers? Or would it be an option for you to use the ones I will shortly have available?

For the love of god, please don't design one / manufacture one with daytime running fairy lights. They're hideous on any car.

I'm interested, but I'd like to see how Fezassus gets on first. I'm sick of one of the fastest road cars becoming one of the slowest at night.
