Headlight Induction Conversion

has anyone have any info on how this is done, or can it be purchased,

i have seen a number of cars which have the front headlight cut out, forcing air to the filter

as below

Someone must have done this, any info?

sorry couldnt find it anywhere on the forum,

the one on ebay,

they all look exactly the same,

im looking for something to do while i wait for my car.

Get a really big powerful laser link from a Mech Warrior or something. Line it all up in a Black and Decker Workmate (use a spirit level! - You don't want to hit it at an angle!)

Then pow! - Fire a nice neat cut laser hole straight through your light.

Don't forget to remove the light from your car first of course... and don't stand behind it.

constructive reply,

i know you can just drill it out,

but what about covering the massive hole you just made,

i wouldnt say fibreglass was used?

anyone on the forum ever done this, or do they just blag one with their car from japan.

Well it IS Friday.

I *think* I've seen them for sale on the US sites somewhere. MVP?

I asked the owner of that car how it was done.. its a bit tricky to make it look good...

- find some plastic pipe approx the same size as the main beam light

- remove the main bean light and cut back enough plastic so the pipe goes in

- start cutting one end of the pipe at an angle, so that when it is inserted it comes flush against the back of the plastic headlamp

- with a marker pen draw a line around the area where the pipe meets the plastic

- Carefully(!!!) cut the hold in the headlamp where you marked it out (This can be done without splitting the unit apart, but would be easier if you did.

- Fix the pipe in place at the rear with some glue (eg. Araldite)

- Trim up and tidy the front. He had glued some plastic trim over the rough edges

sounds like some drain pipe is in order, lol

now where would u recomend a second hand front light.

I think Vortex have something similar to one of these, where the whole of the light is removed, i think Dude was using it on his car

i cant find any pics of dudes car,

this, £75 + P&P

Contact Migster if you want one

Hi Terry, is this road legal.....im thinking not and only good for the track? is this correct

i want to retain use of the lights, looks like i will have to find a second hand one and start cutting it up

It won't be road legal, unless you apply for a daytime only MOT, but if lights are fitted, they have to work.

but then nor is losing your main beam I guess !! ??

do you need ure main beam then?

do you need ure main beam then?

That depends on if you like to see further at night or not...

I've been toying with this idea for a while. May have to think about that one from Migster for days at the pod .

Is this ANOTHER case where the Jap-Spec is SUPERIOR.....

....... with its . . .PLASTIC headlights ! ! ? ?

lol, yes, i think it is!!!

another but, not as good

..

last one

If anyone is interested i have a pair of facelift lights refurbished with the induction hole profesionally made, if there is enought interest as people dont want to attempt this as they could cause damage/mess-up their own lights i can offer these on an exchange or non-exchange service. It is a complicated and risky procedure and as far as im aware they are fully legal and you will still pass your MOT with them in.
