They're still pretty expensive, even without the bulbs and ballasts. They do work great though. Used them last night on the 5 hour drive back from the Miami meet and I am very pleased with the light output. They work great.

Have you tried the www.retrofitsource.com for a lesser costly alternative for projectors? They've got a bunch of options. Not legal but I think you might find something there.

Hi- well I have all the parts now, but waiting on the guy who makes up the frames, he's taken another job on, up north so will be away for about 10days to 2weeks......if he cant do something when he gets back, I'll try and get the jigs off him and get someone else to weld up the frames

Great source, thanks again
Even cheaper if you email them with a list of things that you would like to purchase in a package. Surprised at how much cheaper all this gear has gotten since I did my last retrofit :lol:

charlie_p 12-22-10 11:48 AM

Hi- well I had to give the frames back to the blacksmith for checking the next pairs up against

But from the outside they will look just like Knight Sports

Thesocio 01-02-11 09:14 PM

OP how much do you think it would be for the kit without the lights...

charlie_p 01-04-11 04:51 AM

Good News!
Just spoken to the Blacksmith, he will have two sets ready by the end of this week, and a few more the end of next week. So I will have two sets ready to send out beginning of next week, will do test fit, and pictures over the weekend! :)

Will work out some prices with and without lights for later today!

Derex'7 01-04-11 07:42 AM

Hi guys- ok got some prices

Full Kit- Lamps, frames, and Surrounds - £375 $580 (at 1.55)

I will get shipment prices when I have the parts together for a total weight

I should have a kit to have full pitctures, and fitment this weekend, and with any luck have sets to send out end of next week :)

Thanks for your help, and patience, I know it's taken a lot longer than I wanted, but nearly there now!

mrhetrick 01-05-11 08:13 AM

Yes!!!!

Eagerly awaiting final assembly and pics.

Mike

KKMpunkrock2011 01-05-11 10:08 AM

looking forward to the pictures, there's so many good kits to update our lights coming out right now, and thats a really fair price too.

Derex'7 01-09-11 12:40 PM

Yup and the weekend is just about over with

charlie_p 01-10-11 12:11 PM

haha ok ok
Picking up two sets of frames tomorrow, but wont be home from work till Wednesday to fit them onto the rex!

charlie_p 01-15-11 06:23 AM

Right! Got the lights, but need to find someone who wants a set to test fit, I've tried my car, but since its not much more than a rolling shell, with no front bumper, wings or bonnet it's not really a valid test lol
Hopefully someone will get back to me on the UK forum, and I can test fit them!
Very frustrating

charlie_p 01-17-11 11:50 AM

Here we go!! :egrin:
You can just about tell (from the light blare) that the Twin Lights are certainly brighter than the original lights...not hard I guess lol
