Arrived safe and sound, many thanks.

PM send ☺

[redspeed]

Anyone know how to contact Fezzasus other than by PM, please?

I paid for a set of lenses last March on the original Crowdfunding set up and sent a PM a month ago with my details, but have heard nothing yet?

Many thanks.

Have you contacted me, I don't think I have anything? As far as I know (with two exceptions) all people who have out addresses into the crowdfunder website have received their lenses. If you could update your details I will download the updated list next week and post out as needed.

Pm sent 11th Jan; still shows not yet read, so I was getting suspicious!

[redspeed]

I mean about the pm having arrived, not you!

Okay, I'll dig it out when I get back (away until the 23rd) odds are it's been missed due to the sheer number of PMs.

Have just checked and Paypal payment was taken 11/03/14. I'm in no hurry, so let me know when you have a chance.

Thanks.

Mine arrived today (forgot I'd ordered them so the wife found them   so I said they cost £10 each...seems reasonable)

 

Thanks. Fezz. One day when I get a VX again I'll fit them

Now go back into your memory when she told you those shoes were on sale for 50 pounds.

PM sent with details.

Received mine Friday - many thanks.

Received Wednesday, Many Thanks Fez. Extremely well packaged. Now just need to get the tape....

For those still interested, the price of these headlight lenses will not reduce to compete with the vacuum formed offering. They are still £180 shipped and this is reflective of the higher quality of these parts (injection moulded rather than vacuum formed which allows for the original lip to be retained, allowing better seating of the lens, and a more consistent finish for better optical purity).

[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]How's it getting on with testing the actual projectors? I've got a set of these, not for the VX but for another project, I'm keen to see what kind of outputs you're achieving! I get the feeling these wouldn't fit in the vx housing... [/font]

 

[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]I've bought (the main bits):
2 x FX-R 3.0: (2.5" Lens/RHD)
2 x Morimoto XB55 (50W)
2 x D2S: Osram Xenarc 66240 Nightbreaker[/font]

Comparative outputs here (both taken with same ISO, shutter speed and aperture)

[Rusty789]

I've already seen those!

 

I was expecting more progress than that!

[fezzasus]

Well, the output hasn't changed. The rest of it is CAD, although packaging the main projector is a bit of a pain (even using the same Hella unit that is in the original, they have cut all the ears off it and made a new cast frame to mount it. I would prefer to avoid that, but it's difficult.

This headlight is a very compact unit and I think there is really only one major design flaw, the plastic holding the optics in place become brittle and break. If only this could be corrected by fitting a metal component into the plastic, the headlight would be just as good as the rest of the car
