headlights

[Dave Adams]

when i get round to taking my car to bits this year (now the Quantum is on the road) I have been wondering what to do about the front end of the car, especially as the headlights are knackered and need replacing. To be honest i have seen very few cycle guard modifications that look good on Phaetons because of the shape and height of the bonnet and nose cone.

But i am thinking of cutting out the headlight pods completely and making the mud guard look as if they were never there. and buying some HID projector lamps and making some holders, either both sides of the nose cone or inside the grille area, hidden. OR making some eye shaped pods to sit on the mudguards for the smaller lamps, what do you lot think?

A note about the headlights, on dip they are useless giving very poor light spread, even when set a bit high for MOT purposes. On main beam they are awesome lighting the road ahead for miles, mind you there is 300w of light up there so that might help.....

these are the headlights i think i will be using on my new S1 project......they are fitted to various plant vehicles, JCB Telehandlers for example they also come with various mounts including a bottom ball joint mount so would be ideal for fitting to our cars........they can be found for about £100 a pair plus they have indicators built in.

they are about 7 inches along the longest axis and around 5 inches top to bottom, they also have a repeater indicator on the back........
