thanks for the kind words.the projectzwo was partly the
inspiration for these lights and a picture i
saw in a 'vw porsche' magazine which showed a prototype of the
T4 eurovan with round lights.
as for manufacturing these i couldn't right now due to the
time consuming homemade nature of them.
i haven't had the motivation to repeat the process on my other
van !
ideally these should be stamped from steel as a one piece unit
including the lower fill piece below
the old lights. the headlight assemblies just need mounting
tabs integrated .
maybe another member has ties to a manufacturing
facility?

Agreed........ ??You
could just put primer on them, or paint them black. ?I'd be
interested.

Now the big question...
When are you going to
start making them for sale? ?They look like a really good
alternative to the VERY expensive ProjectZwo ones... ?And I can get
replacement lamps in the States already. ?I would say your talents
could pay for themselves if you would make a small run, say six sets and
see if you can sell them. ?I would be
interested.

????it's
a homemade solution using fibreglass,bondo and the old headlights to
make molds . the lights are
????bosch 7'' H4's
and vanagon headlight assemblies. all parts were used so cost was low,
probably under
????$100.00 cdn. the bulbs are
80/100's and i used relays. i just found the original ones were really
weak
????especially in the rain. the european
pattern on the bosch lights are much better. here's another shot from
the side, i also put a fuba above the front dome light
!
