Hi Colin looking good mate ,my choice would Be black on the inside of the lights ,they look better black  just my opinion tho , cheers jd

Yes, black headlights on a white car. And if you have a strip then a black Scuderia style one, not the normal Stradale one
That's my opinion only though
Feel free to tell me what to do with haha

hi Alex sorry i did not reply have been away for two weeks,the headlamps are just sitting on bubble pack at the minuet so i am also interested to see
what others have done, i was thinking of bonding four  6 x 25 bolts to the wing and then clamp the lamp to the wing with four clamps and nylock nuts
cheers colin

hi Guys i have got the headlamps painted and assembled and also have half a plan on to fasten them to car but am i missing some parts ?
because i`am not sure how to seal the lamp around the bulb area i have asked kev and he is going to see if there is a backing piece just
wondering if you could help.
cheers colin

If you mean sealing the main beam and dipped beam, I have read somewhere that the rubber headlamp seals from a Nissan Micra are the same size
Don't quote me though

Hi Colin,

I have used the lids from the Hagen Daas Ice cream pots, with a little bit of tigerseal. I have used 20mm stuffing glands to bring the cables through
