Twin Headlight conversion Wanted
Twin Headlight conversion Wanted
Hi guy's,
Was just wondering if anyone knew of anybody who has a set of drivers side and passengers side twin headlight conversion for a 1987 BX19 GTi - she is an 8 valver - have friends in the UK so should be able to get them sent to them and then they can ship to New Zealand for me - I see that this conversion is popular amongst owners of these fine little beasties in the UK but I am yet to see these on anything over here in New Zealand.
Any help that you can give would be appreciatted,
Danny - from the land of the long white cloud

They're still made by Morette, and can be purchased brand-spanking new, if you like that sort of thing:

/\ um, no they aint!
I did have a set that I paid, er, rather alot of money for, but I hated the way they looked on the valver, so I loaned them to my mate. He loved them, until the car commited suicide on black ice through a wall and down a ditch.
Result, one written off TZD turbo, and a mullered set of Morrettes...

Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!
Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

Or just click through to Larkspeed and order a set. Even if Morette have discontinued them, they could well be in stock elsewhere (though the Morette site shows no sign of removing 'em!)

Yeah, and the XM set (which is triple) is getting on for 500 notes! I'd be tempted by that, given the shiteness of standard XM lights, but again, it's what I paid for the car.....

You could always get a set (or two!) of these for the front of your XM...
Headlight conversion
Hi again guy's,
Can still get them but at a cost $1100 NZDollars - Have decided on the following - can get some bmw twin headlight (cost nothing) assembly's from a mate in a wrecking yard and have another mate who is an engineer who said he will make up brackets for fitting and a set of covers (cost a bbq and a chocolate cake) so all up cost is FREE - this suits my budget better. Thanks for all your help Danny
