coz i think these indictators and sidelights look awesome
edit, again, for some reason they don't look symetrical! but they really are... i don't get it lol

Are they "E" marked??
Are they the correct distance inboard from the widest part of the car?
Are they the correct height?
Other than that, they look a bit small to me. I would want my signals to be seen (Rather than be seen as "cool"
Nice spoiler ... Just hope you dont have any traffic calming schemes like ours in your area.
yep less than 400mm from the extreme outer edge, and more than 350mm from the ground.
LED, and VERY bright
not E marked, but have DOT marking, and the IVA doesn't mention any need for any markins for some reason anyway.
will be connecting them up to the transformer tonight to see how bright they are.
theres a few speed bumps round here lol. not many though. certainly not any you have to drive over. there was a guy round here with a corsa and his
front was a similar height. he seemed to do fine. will be considering nitrams hydraulic systems when the car's all legal.
that garage floors a bit misleading. 12" before the edge, it slopes up a bit, so its actually not as low as it looks
I was under the impression that all liights had to be e2 marked,
that was my assumption when i built my car to SVA rules,
Surely IVA is more stringent

Hi Blake
Pretty sure the indicators are the ones we use for side repeaters. "E" marking is only a requirement on the rear foglight, none of the
others. Don't think the sidelights are an issue, but I think the indicators will be, as i say we use these as side repeaters & as such they
are fine, but i don't think light will be powerful enough for an indicator (as a comparison sidelight & repeater bulbs are 5W, main indicator
bulbs are 21W, same as brake, fog & reverse lights). Even if they'll pass IVA I would question being happy with them afterwards as in bright
sunlight I would be worried people wouldn't se them.
Sorry if that P*sses on the parade & obviously all IMHO

can't wait to see what your going to do for headlights
very true Russ, never thought of the power output of them for some reason.
the other option is these

but they're a bit 80s
ReMan, headlights are the easy bit! Hella 90mm bi-halogens in aluminium boxes, bonded into the
headlight panel, with polycarbonate covers
already got the lights, and the boxes can be done when i have the money
should turn out something like this professional artists rendition i got done lol
what about these LED headlights? think I'm going to get a set for the Falcon

^ interesting! already got my hella lights though. got them as soon as they came out i think, so they'll be getting used. maybe one day there'll be a LED replacement for H7 bulbs
Google H7 led bulbs and they are available !!!

IMO It won't be long before there are LED headlights that are legal, but they probably won't be replacement 'bulbs' since the housings will need to be designed around them (like most projector style lamps in the more modern tin-tops).
