They can be made to look nice... And the headlights are good, proper e-marked automotive projectors. But they're a bit flimsy, and not all that nice as standard.

It's pretty hard to find decent projectors, so I suppose it might be worth getting one just for them. I'd be interested in seeing how good the light output was first, though.

Got something coming along those lines, perhaps a bit more substantial.

Be done for AR06 with any luck.

Cheers Mark.

A couple of the Oldschool guys have them fitted, they reckon they're better than Bates duals.

I might keep an eye on ebay, then, cos I have plans for the future and fancy headlights feature quite predominantly.
