I'd like electric orange, but funds do not permit this at the moment so it will be its original colour. :(

How hard is it to make those projector headlights? Really want a set they look quality and will give a much better beam pattern with hids.

No, I dont think thats the case. To buy all the parts works out expensive, then labour costs makes them fairly costly. Plenty of people shout they want them, but when the crunch comes to pay the money, people are less forth comming. Understandably he doesnt want to be left with a load of high cost parts hanging around.

i get phone call after phone about angel eyes.when i say the price people sh*t themselfs.then phone back a week a later saying "i cant find them anywhere,were do i buy them from?"

the problem is once i buy all the parts it leaves me around £30 left over,and to then spend a whole day making a set, its pointless for £30

dont get me wrong i still making them,but i get really p*ssed off when people ring and have a dig at the price.

anyway bitch over :lol: basic set is £290.00 posted
then to spec up to the 7500k double angeleyes is £20.00 extra.

I doubt it will be any cheaper. Original ford units are a pain in the ass to split and the possibility of damaging them is fairly high. So what you save in material costs, you'll spend in labour.
This is the route I suggested to Vale but totally understand why he doesn't work this way especially when you see what's involved.
