projector beam lights
 Hello can anybody help,I am building a MK GT1 it has very liliitle room for headlights as the wheel and tyre run very close to the back of the front
wing,so lighting units can not be very deep.When i was at harrogate there was a westfiled xtr2 there it had 2 very small projector beam lights i
assume 1 is used for dip beam and the other for main beam /flash as it had a seperate side light,on close inspection they appear to be made by raydot
and are e marked and only about 60mm diametre approx.they are black with a dome projector lens and are mounted on a u bracket so can be swivelled left
and right and up and down to set up the beam pattern can anybody tell me where i can get these from or something similar .
Also is true that a projector beam has no beam pattern,but the beam pattern is done by the type of bulb fitted,so as long as a suitable bulb can be
fitted a drive or fog lamp with projector beam lens could be converted into headlamps ?
Any help on the above would be appreciated .
Thanks.
Simon.

IMHO the best bloke to talk to is Mr Jon Ison...
He has a GT1 and it's even got the lights you speak of...

There is usually a metal shoud behind the lens to give the beam patern. We broke up loads from broken headlamps to make geeky glasses for a works
fancy dress wee up!
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation
