The pilot lights shown are "driving lights" so may be OK for main beam, but as they have a single fil. H3 bulb, they wont do dip beam.
The lens is marked E11 - this is the uk testing mark.

Steve - the site does have some interesting 'proper' rectangular headlights though that look interesting - would just need a rear
casing.......

Source of square headlights doesn't present a prob. However what to put them in?
All our lights are round as
1/. Lenses are easly available and cost effective.
2/. Light bodies are pressed and the undercut spun.
Dax had fibre glass - hand lay-up square housings. Lenses were from Renault - the 12 I think & seem to be obsolete now.

where can i get some square headlights units?? We will definetly be making some shells, but finding a suitable supplier for the actual lights are our
problem. We were going to use maestro van lights, but these are very hard to get hold of now.

The lower spec ones had recessed lights, where as the "sportier" models had the sloping lights

You can put the side lights on a front bar like DAX then you can mount the headlights lower.

I saw a picture of an Ultima yesterday, which have small diameter headlights. Are these available as inidividual units (not necessarily from ultima as
they's be expensive!) or are they a produced sealed unit?
just a thought...
Ned.
beware, I've got yellow skin

Just been talking to a guy from Hella and he suggested that i look at their special range...
part No. 1K0 008 191-007
these are 90mm lights and i am sure those plastic mounting lugs could be cut off in order to mount them in a suitable case. Obviously you would need
seperate main beam and dipped units - but that is exactly what I want. the addition of a small sidelight would be a simple measure
The dipped beam version is available as a xenon unit
As these are already original equipment on several cars they should be fine for SVA....

A quick bit of photoshoppery has rendered this.... Nice? - I think so
 
posslights
getting someone to make the chromed shells would be interesting....
the whole assembly should only be about 7.5" wide
the main light on the right is a xenon dipped unit and the left is a halogen main beam. the small side light is 'made up' but this should be
fairly easy to do...
So what do you reckon SVC ????

The E30 headlights are 5 1/4 " dia. The main and dip units are completely seperate and mounted on a plastic frame by their three respective
adjusters. The dip beam projector units themselves are self contained and removable, but would then have no protective front glass of course. The
'reflector' on the dip beam units is just for the parking lamps and to match the main beams in appearance.
