Hey Yellowchinaman, where do you get the clear lenses??
Cleat lens over the neon lamps to see what needs cutting off. Then cut down to size Now compare the housing Cut the stock front fixings out Now cut back the neon housing keeping the lamp fixings only and all together it looks like this all 3 put together looks like this Now I've had enough I'm off for a beer. Next time when I can be bothered, I need to do the same to the other side lamps and I'm going to bolt it all together, test fit for angles. Then fibreglass the two front and rear half of the housing together, smooth it down and spray it black and then put the new lens on. TBC... [/quote] |

Hi Chito
I was lucky enough to buy it off another member who bought it off a group buy many years ago. It wasn't the best but at least it worked. I would highly suggest trying to get clear glass lens off a broken projector. I too am on a look out to see if anyone would make a good set of clear lens. |

Ray I won't be selling it no. Many have asked but like many things on my car I dont intend to revert back to stock.
You and a lot of people have asked me to sell it or help make a pair but the number of man hours ive put into making this is out of many peoples price range. Best thing is bight the bullet and get a set of spare lamps and just do it. |

Lol I figured as much. iv decided to do a retrofit on the stock headlamps once I get a hold of some clear lenses. -------------------- "whoever said progress was a slow process... was probably talking about me" |

Id recommend hybriding with aftermarket Fiat 500 lamps as its more similar is shape and size and with a single high and low projector in one its less crammed.
