Looks CHEAP to me so hope the quality is there. What caught my attention was the price of their lights. OMG.

Yup, what you wanna know/ask?

I guess a translation of the PDF sheet with the tech specs/options for the lights...

Not sure if road legal? Mentions of Rallye etc?

Hello, my name is Cédric DELAGE and I have been a rally driver on an OPEL Speedster turbo since 2012. Our team has taken this car to its highest level with the title of "Winner of the Coupe de France rally category GT" in 2019.We have been working on this car that we are so passionate about for many years.A problem that I quickly encountered are the optics. Indeed when we are victims of road trips the op-ticks are systematically damaged or destroyed. And as you know OPEL no longer manufactures optics for speedy and the marketoccasionally this fact increasingly rare and at exorbitant prices! This is why we have designed replicas that are mounted in place of lightsof origins. Attention we cannot guarantee the passage to the Technical Control! Shell We made molds for the headlights. Our headlights are made of composite material,very strong and light.For those who do circuit, hill climb or track days we offer 2 matt black cases.If you leave the road or throw stones, you can destroy or damage your headlights. With our cases you have the insuranceto preserve the value of your headlights. The assembly is extremely simple

Right, so he is describing different level of assemblybhe can provide them at.

Looking at the units though, it doesn't look road compliant, even in the uK. I guess the 350€ shell sets he propose could be equipped with road legalish projector units though, but not the COB led units he seems to show.

I cant imagine any aftermarket solution going through compliance testing.  I'd have thought most won't get inspected beyond aim and possibly lens markings so it shouldn't really be a problem.

[martinroger]

Agreed... However stuff like the Fez headlights or the Eltech project aim to look and behave road-legal, with djustable cut-off, no lag high beams, correct-ish luminosity. The COB units on the pictures look a hell lot like the 10 € stuff you can find on eBay, sold as led fog lights. No aim adjustment possible, low luminosity, no cut-off at all...
I had some held in the fog light holes on my clam, they failed the German MOT because no cut-off at all anywhere. And no gains luminosity wise. Probably fine for rally, but no chance even with the fairly relaxed UK MOT

I'll have to look into these guys, they are only about an hour away from me, hadn't heard of them before.

I messaged him a few weeks ago. He’s serious about the headlights and a couple of other things. I’m pretty sure I saw someone had bought a set this week on one of the FB groups for more like €1500 but could have been mistaken

I'll be interested into what the backside of those looks like and if third party units could be mounted in there...

Have you downloaded the pdf from the link above as it has pictures front and back.

[martinroger]

I did, I'll have to look again then... Couldn't see the back side very well
