Group buy of small headlights?
Would anyone be interested in a group buy of the Dominator basemount headlamps?
[img] [/img]
[img]http:// [/img]
If I can get half a dozen or more orders together they would be £55 per pair +
P & P £7.50.
They measure 105mm dia, have dip, main & sidelight built in & are available in Chrome or Satin black - I do not believe they can be bought any
cheaper than this.
They are sold as "for off road or track use" as they throw a flat beam pattern on dip, with a small modification they will certainly pass
an MoT (I've shown the beam pattern produced to 3 separate MoT teters & all agreed they would not question passing it), I've been told
that people have got them thro' SVA but haven't yet tried this personally so don't know if that's true or not.
Anyone interested either u2u, email or register your interest below.

Hi
I would be interested in a pair of chrome ones at £55 a pair.
Seem's a good price. Best I've seen is £70 odd.
I'm not in a rush, so can wait till you get enough orders.

"whats the modification they need to get through an MOT"
Having spoken to the SVA people at Chelmsford today I am pretty sure that with the mod you would also get them thro' SVA - they said "if
the beam image would pass MoT it should pass SVA, it doesn't matter what information is on the lens" (though these are "E"
marked anyway)
Basically the standard beam pattern they throw is described by the manufacturer as "flat" - well, it isn't, it's actually
slightly "V" shaped, hence if you file another location slot in the housing & rotate the light 15 degrees clockwise (when viewed from
behind) you get a 15 degree "kickup" to the left - exactly as required for MoT. I took the pic below this afternoon of a beam image from a
lamp with the mod done - the cross on the board is perfectly level (spirit level checked!)

I'm intending to post the beam image elsewhere as I'd appreciate input from any MoT testers on here, but I've been testing for 20
years plus & would pass it without a second thought as would the other testers I've already shown it to.

Still hoping for a little more interest - am I missing something here? These lights are smaller, lighter, better looking & cheaper than just about
any 7" or 5 & 3/4" lights, I have demonstrated by the beam pattern above which I've posted elsewhere & it has been generally
agreed that it will pass MoT & also SVA. I really feel they help to bring a 7 a bit more up to date - am I almost alone in that opinion? I would
have thought I would have people hammering the door down for these lights at this price - can someone tell me what I've missed???

I guess some people don't like to buy headlights which then have to be stripped down and modified to get the required beam pattern, which then
may or may not pass SVA. (Just because one SVA centre may pass them, it doesn't mean that others will too)
Some may prefer headlights that will pass both SVA and MOT straight out of the box. Or are you doing the mod to the lense housing yourself before
shipping them out and providing assurances they will pass SVA and MOT?
Others may just prefer the larger diameter headlights.
Personally, I quite like the small diameter headlights but found that the output was nowhere near as bright as the 5.75" units we bought from
SVC and the lenses also had the incorrect 'E' mark. (According to an SVA inspector)

"I guess some people don't like to buy headlights which then have to be stripped down and modified to get the required beam
pattern"
I thought this was the whole Locost philosophy - that you take something & make it do something it perhaps was not initially intended for &
save some money by so doing - if we can't manage to undo a screw & a few clips & file a slot then should we be building cars at all???
& no, I wouldn't undertake all the mods myself to earn b*gger all, nor could I absolutely guarantee that any mini hitler MoT or SVA
inspector who's having a bad day wouldn't decide to fail lights that should pass - I heard of a Westfield recently failing SVA for having
indicators that were too bright!!!
I'll supply the evidence, but it's up to the individual to make a choice of their own.

Failed my SVA first time for that exact reason!
If I didnt already have a good set of headlights then I would be interested. Maybe Matt.c will be interested for post SVA to replace his 7"
monster lights
