they are VERY Awesome... if you could do the Bezels in chrome, (like in the fairmont S2 headlights), id consider a set... price permitting of course ;)

Any chance you would be doing this for EF/L in the future?

This is something I was going to try my hand at, but after seeing the masterpiece you have made there, I can only imagine the sh1tpile I would create.

Wouldn't bother on EF/L mainly because there's no clear section on front of the "projector" thus making the exercise pointless. Besides, the earlier models look ok as is, the AU (headlight) needs all the help it can get.

Couldnt you sand the ridges off and polish the lens? thats what I had planned to do if I did it.

LUXO_8 · 17-02-2006, 12:05 AM

unfortunatley they have a soft layer inside that wouldnt polish..... i thought i'd mentioned that to you already.
i wasnt just saying that because i didnt want to do it.. i was actually being serious...

MAD · 17-02-2006, 12:13 AM

Damn!
Nah I dont remember you mentioning that.

sfr rob · 17-02-2006, 12:26 AM

hell yeah!
if only i had kept my old headlights.........

12 · 17-02-2006, 12:35 AM

Nice work Dok!! See.. pressure does work. :hihi:

Can you do a them without the squared off bezel??

**Peuty** · 17-02-2006, 12:37 AM

I would buy a set right now if I could.

Well...could I?

Orbit · 17-02-2006, 12:52 AM

yes....how much?
and if you get enough response when will you have them in production?

-jjM- · 17-02-2006, 01:17 AM

Yeah ... that's the problem with the Mazda 6 projectors ... they are very long. One reason why I was interested in the Honda Euro projector as they aren't that deep and are a compact unit. Now the O/S BMW unit I am interested in is apparently a compact projector as well.

Decisions decisions.

Have had a big response so far, each 1 is modded by me, takes @5 hrs to do just 1 but that's about as far as the "production" side goes, remember, these are "modified" not re-produced. PM me if you want a price, the first pair are "sold" already, but am doing more this weekend.........sadly.

Next week I will have more ready to go, each pair is made to order after hours/weekends, PM me for a price (they are not very expensive), same with anyone who wants a pair, PM me. If you want them, you'll have to put your $$$ up, & allow @1 week for delivery. Oh, and as Henry Ford once famously said, "you can have them in any colour, as long as it's black"

: Cheers for the response's guy's.

good work mate!
glad SOMEONE finally decided to do something with the shizen AU headlights!!

Good luck with the sales, i am sure you wont need it! :hihi:

**Mechan1k** · 17-02-2006, 06:09 PM

Me thinks these are going to sell like hotcakes.

scotty_d · 17-02-2006, 06:58 PM

Are these done on a swap basis, do you buy back our old lights. I might be interested if I don't sell my AU.

Cheers Scott

At this point, I do not require changeover AU headlights so to answer the question, no.

Duffman · 15-03-2006, 08:56 PM

Yes it was me and they are all in working and are really good.

Iv got heaps of good pics on the digital camera last night and then find out the computer cable is missing. One of dads mates lost it and reckons he is picking up another cable tonight I have no idea how when he doesn't even know what the connection looks like.

Here are two pics on my crappy camera phone as soon as I get a cable ill have heaps of pics!

sfr rob · 15-03-2006, 09:13 PM

oh ... i want to see them properly!

good teaser though duffman, they look hell bright!

The Dok · 15-03-2006, 09:26 PM

Nice pics dooooood, really made all the lonely hours in the cold dark workshop with the broken radio & chilling wind whistling through with the cries of my children saying they wish I would "please finish work daddy" which finally led to the breakdown of yet another relationship............well worth the effort..........but no no it's ok...........those pics are fine

Duffman · 15-03-2006, 09:36 PM
