MORETTE TWIN LIGHT CONVERSION

[Valsheda]

JUST WONDERING IF THESE ARE THE HEADLAMP CONVERSION KITS USED ON A COUPLE OF THE AWESOME VANS FEATURED ON THIS SITE ,

THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE SITES SELLING THE CONVERSION KITS FOR SIERRA SAPHIRES , WHICH I THINK ARE KITS USED ON THE VANS ,

BUT THEY DONT COME CHEAP

Has anyone ever done this it would be nice to know for sure i know cossycrew has spoke to the owner of the imperial blue van but thats as far as we have got so far!!!link here!

I have a few sierra headlights knocking about and next time my mate comes round in his Mk5 transit i'll measure them up to see how close they are!!!

[MrMPuk]

I no it's not quite the same look but there is a guy on Ebay selling angel eye style head lights and I think they look pretty good and a lot less than the twin head light conversions.

[Valsheda]

YEH THEY DO LOOK NICE ,

THERE HAS BEEN PEOPLE SELLING THE ANGEL EYES KIT TO CONVERT YOUR OWN LIGHTS YERSELF ,

WHICH WILL BE ALOT CHEAPER AGAIN , BUT I AM NOT TO SURE ABOUT RISKING IT

[Luke]

I'd like to see a set of the angel eyes can you tell there special when there switched off?? still prefer the twin headlights!!

[Valsheda]

NO THEY DONT LOOK THAT SPECIAL IN DAYLIGHT AND I THINK THEY ONLY WIRE INTO YOUR SIDE LIGHTS , SO WOULDNT REALLY NOTICE THEM THAT MUCH WHEN THE MAIN LAMP IS ON , PROBABLY ,

SO YES IT HAS GOT TO BE WORTH OPENING THAT WALLET A LITTLE BIT FURTHER TO GET THE TWIN CONVERSION ,

APART FROM MY WALLET IS CURRENTLY FEELING A LITTLE BIT LIGHT AT THE MOMENT

[Luke]

Ive measured up the sierra headlight agsinst a transit one today!!!
Seems to me it would take a bit of modding - i'd certanly like to speak to someone who has done it!!!

the sierra h/l is 6" high x 15 1/2" long wheras the transit h/l is 6 1/2" high and 13" long
and the curved part is slightly different



This is a picture i took - certanly possable but mabe bonnet and grill mods are required or mabe mods to the twin headlight holder!!!

[Valsheda]

THERE IS QUITE A DIFFERENCE IN SIZE BETWEEN THEM ISNT THERE ,

IT WOULD BE VERY HANDY TO GET SOME FIRST HAND KNOWLEGE ON MAKING THEM FIT ,

IS THERE ANY OUT THERE THAT CAN HELP

[Luke]

Just looking through the caithburns custom write up on their van they have used BMW twin headlights!!!

[Valsheda]

SO THE PLOT THICKENS !!!!!!

MJUST BE ONE OF THE OLDER BMW 'S THAT HAD THE TWIN LIGHTS AS STANDARD , ONE OF MY OLD MATES HAD A 3 SERIES THAT HAD THEM IN , I THINK THER IS ONE NEAR WHERE I LIVE , I WILL HAVE A GLANCE AT IT TOMORROW

[MrMPuk]

Sounds good 4 bmw lights in a custom housing, gotta be the way to go.

[Valsheda]

YEP SO DO I ,

STILL LOOKING FOR AN OLD BEAMER TO TAKE A MEASUREMENT OF THE LIGHTS ,
THERE IS ONE NEAR TO WHERE I LIVE , JUST HOPING IT WILL BE THERE WHEN I DRIVE PAST ONE DAY ,

[Luke]

Try giving caithburns a ring (01698) 383325 if they dont sell them they will probly tell you how they did it!!!

I have invited then to join the forum but they haven't yet!!!

[Luke]
