Found a couple of old beam pics on my phone...

In the first two pics, the L/H beam is not right as the bulb was not mounted correctly into the projector as I must have been in too much of a rush when fitting it...






These are Minimoto Bi-Xenon H1's with 5000k 35w bulbs running off Philips 35w ballasts. They are bright enough that I may as well disconnect my 60w high beams as it makes no difference at all.

On your rig, I'd try body colour painted inserts and chrome shrouds, probably the same style as mine (Porsche Cayenne Turbo 'inspired') as its hard to find anything else that suits the big AU lamps. He can fit halos to them if you like that look. He's also done coloured LED parkers behind the projector which look amazing and sure will fix those 'stock looking blues' that you have!

Thanks mate, all I'm after is to have my lights painted sparkling burgundy on the bezels and for my headlights not to leak/paint peel after its done. Going for a clean look to match the car

Can anybody direct me how to get in contact with 'MAD', can't seem to find his user name using the search function.

Cheers, Alex.

Paul (MAD) sends his regards for referring me to him for the headlight mods. I will be dropping my new set of headlights for a set of B5 (Sparkling burgundy) painted bezels as soon as he lets me know when.

Cheers, Alex.
