(As a comparison, a typical halogen headlight has around 7 - 800 Lumen). These are likely to be in the region of £199.99 a pair & will include an LED DRL & indicator within the headlight - I will be putting a post up re a possible group buy shortly .....................


Hi, do you have any pictures of these yet? I'd like to see what these look like as want to change my current set up.

You got any picture of your mounting brackets?





Think about it, think about it again and then do it.

Just thought I would post an update re my projector lights. (Russ's)

I did 100 miles last night.

What I would say is that when it is dark, the lights are actually very good. The problem for me comes when there are other lights around or cars coming the other way. So this may be my eyes , seating position etc etc. I would say, no on reflection, that they are as good as I can remember my 5 3/4" ones I had on a previous car.

I think I would say a lot of it for me is about the other lights causing my eyes to adjust and therefore me thinking my lights aren't that great.

Just uploading pics & getting details together, will post up group buy details shortly, this is the 5 & 3/4" light, 2400 lumens, on low beam, 3850 lumen main beam (around 4 to 5 times the lumen output of a 60W halogen!). Has a halo ring for DRL (white) or indicators (amber)

They do, I passed with a set from Russ:


The "kick-up" pattern is actually the wrong way around (i.e. it kicks up to the right), however, the kick is so small that it counts as a flat beam. I just had to align them on the day with the test machine and they passed without further comment.

I have these same lights and they have a slight sharp edge going around them. Did you cover this for IVA?

Irony - nope, IIRC the sharp bit doesn't contact the edge of the sphere when I did it at home, though to be honest the tester didn't actually check.
