Potential Group Buy for Bora Owners: FK Automotive Projector headlights

[Manaz]

my bad (again!): they were H4s.....

yeah, projectors sound like they'd kick the donkey's rear off the reflectors in strength. good thing i only paid 40 bucks for the Philips.

I'm interested. But like Dylan said, i'd be keen to see what alternatives are around. If not, these ones look pretty decent.

so does this mean with the new projectors that we still use H4s ? Or do we need to buy a set of H7s after getting the new projector ?

i'm not really fussy about HID. I just want something that has actual bright/strength (like my dad's mk6 GTI headlights (non-xenon)).

For these headlights, you'd need to source:

* 2 pairs of H7s (one pair for low beam, one for high beam). H7s are about $70 a pair from powerbulbs.co.uk.
* 1 pair of H3s (for fogs, maybe re-use existing ones).

I have projectors on my other car (Subaru Outback), and they're several shades of awesome better than reflector-based headlights.

What alternatives are around? Not much. I've spent quite some time investigating all the options. Keen to see if someone can come up with something that's cheaper and yet still decent quality (and suited to RHD, this has been the killer detail).

Will start collecting EOIs in the top post. Please confirm if you're interested or not (I'm not at the "taking deposits" stage yet, so this is really just "interest" at this stage to determine if I should continue to put time into this.

That may be a good thing, but OK.

haha.

Just to be clear im not talking about other companys. Just some of the other options FK is selling on the site Manaz linked. Not other brands because there isnt a whole heap out there.

also as above, good luck finding OEM ones at a price less then the value of your car. Also have fun finding something other then ebay specials that suit our RHD/aussie cars.

Ill send u a PM when im home Manaz.

Pretty quickly - I don't want this to drag on. Once we get 5 confirmed buyers, I'll start collecting monies and place the order.
