quad head light for mk4+5 6?

Postby chunkychap247365 » Fri Dec 12, 2008 7:47 pm

Does any body know of any company that makes quad head light kits for the mk4+5 shape head lights? I'm currently making rear light units for mk4,5,6,7 that look simualr to the old morrette units of the 90's seen on escorts and fiestas. If nobody does the front I might have a go using bmw or golf units and making some for the mk6.

If it's not broke, "Don't try to fix it!"

And Cyco van with mine.

I am a little unsure as to how the tail lights will fit Mk4, 5, 6 & 7 with 4 & 5 being totally different to 6 & 7.

Well yes obviously mk 4-5 are very different from mk 6-7 thats why I was planning to make them to suit! Geoff I love your blue cossie van very nice. I'm toying with the idea of making quad lights for the mk6 but have'nt got round to buying a pair to take moulds from yet. Will post pics when I've got more than just raw parts and materials.

when i get round to fitting my quad light (on mk5) i still cant decide on whether to spray the surrounds in white with the van or do them black,to give it the old escort rs2000 sort of look .any opinions would be good to hear

I've been thinking about the layout of the rear light units, given the size and shape of the OE units there are a few variations on a theme for both the mk4-5 and mk6-7. The lights them selfs will be landrover NAS defender or series 2A-3 which are readily avaible from dealers and ebay, with the added fact that there EC-E marked which will be easier (hopefuly) come MOT time.These units come in either correct colours for the rear or clear with coloured bulbs. Any input welcome as I'd rather make some thing thats wanted rather than what I think what people should have.

Could you not get away with them on the bumper or do they need to be part of the cluster?

i think i am right in saying reflectors DO NOT have to be a part of the cluster, look at say most new cars, they are in the bumpers

not sure if there is a minimum size tho

I would be interested in a pair of the version 2 for a mk5
Just bought my transit, going to make it presentable to carry equipment and tow cars for my modified car club
