I'd just want covers for now. If it meant getting them all in production I think we all would be happy to stump up now. It means that in the future a pair of head lights won't cost the earth and write so many cars off. Question: are you still going for the Xeon/day running light idea of the cluster? Or will it be a simple copy of the OEM unit?

They'll be Xenon units, there's practicality no cost difference and gives a reason to upgrade rather than just replace.

What kind price are we talking, for a pair of clusters if/when they take off? (Would they be self leveling or manually adjusted from the arch liner)?

This, my lights/lenses are are fine, however I wish I could see where I'm going with them! Would it be worth having an extra poll to see who would really like xenon lights? I've not bothered with HID but if you do manage to get xenon into production I'm there

Technically HID and xenon are the same technology, just the former is typically used to describe retrofit kits and the latter is used to describe OEM lights.

 

I can say 100 % they will be xenon units. I have a supplier for Bosch D3S xenon projectors and have been designing the headlights with expectation of using them. You can see the difference in output here: http://www.vx220.org.uk/forums/topic/117604-replacement-headlights-gauging-interest/?p=1643705

Have you thought about seeking an investment?

 

I can think of a few models that might work for you, I'd also be a willing investor.

 

I'll follow up with a PM.
