78 not just a quick paint job

Are they not COOL or what !!!!
Straight swap out ????
Doesn't the kit just plug in to the existing 3 pin Female connection ??

Then a night shot should be good

Cheers

They are so cool Yeah it is just plug and play although I thought the locators on the back would sit in the bowls but then I suppose they are generic and so held in place by the chrome rings (although I did mine black) I haven't done the wiring in the car as no column yet or dash so I will wire up the halos when I get chance separately for a quick look

Fitted something similar to a 1979 trans Am. Looked fantastic when on.

I'll have to have a look for them as would be nice to have some better lights on the C3. Be interested to see how you get on with yours.

The one modification you need to make upon fitting these is to make the holes larger in the headlight doors where the lights go through or else there is no room for adjustment

Ok, just put the lights in on the driver's side for a quick look. Just need to sort out the wiring next

Liking them lights

Ok not had chance to sort out the lights at the mo as been to busy to concentrate but in the mean time i decided to give the shifter a clean up to take my mind off it.

Interesting colour reversal there. Where did you get the chrome ball?

Cheers, I've had the ball for years from the states and cant really remember where i got it from I was going to do it all chrome but the shaft was all scratched so i just thought i would do it the opposite way around and i personally quite liked it.

Ok after having the chance have finally got the headlights in and working correctly. Ended up modifying the Dip/Main unit to take H4 led bulb as the loom that came with it wouldn't work(not sure if it was something i was doing wrong but would only work when original bulbs were fitted not using the supplied loom) Now i can finally get the bumper painted and fit the front beams back on

Looks good. How come your indicators seem to be on?

Thought they came on with side lights as they are dual filament??

 

[johng]

So have you got amber sidelights then?

I have

Mmmmm! Oringe sidelights, personally I like them, but from a safety point of view I'd be concerned, people might think your indicator is not flashing, and of you needed to MOT would it pass ?

Ok, only recently started back to doing bits to the vette. Not the best end to last year as had to put my dog down of 13 years, had to move business premises and broke my arm falling 16ft from some steps in the process (realised you don't bounce anymore as you get older) had over 3 months off which hurts when you're self employed. Managed to get the rear bumper on at the old unit and have now just got the lights in. So at least something
