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

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

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!

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

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
