This time we tried to use gelcoat between the paper/clay model and the negative. Didn't work out that great, very sticky stuff and trying to separate the clay model from the negative model we had to distroy the clay model. So second change but now making the final model in the negative...

Here you can see the wiring on the drivers side for the HID units. From right to left. In red the prime fuse, next the wolstentech relay and left the two fuses for each ballast on that side (of course the passengers side has the same wiring setup). Now its "just" some work to mirror...

Making the final frame inside the contra molding. This is a picture with 2 or 3 layers polyester. With an extra layer. And the final product. Lucky for me, I put on the final layers in the morning and we already tried to take it out of the molding in the evening. This way the polyester was...

2013: First I put some clay and putty on the edges to give the mockup some round edges (sorry this is the mockup frame and not the contra molding). After some more sanding, putty, sanding and putty etc etc the mockup was ready. I also begun on the wiring for the xenon (HID). This is the...

I thought I had space for the ballast under the hood around the headlights but that isn't the case so I moved them to the other side. The ballasts are waterproof by themself but just in case they will be covered with a plastic bag made from thick truck plastic. As the wiring from the ignition...

Thanks Mac :) @Stephan, don't really have part numbers but this is what I've used to make it. 4x AL Bosch Bi-xenon projectors (BMW E46) 2x Alfa Romeo 159 Headlights 2x Custom handmade shrouds 2x Wolstentech relays 4x 20 amp fuses 2x 30 amp fuses 2x Custom front links Custom wiring from...

More tomorrow :) Greetings Peter

Part 3. As the headlights didn't have to go up that high anymore I had to make some new front links. BBShark at vettmod.com already redesigned the front link for lower headlights so I altered his for the height I needed. Cor was so kind to fab the links for me. My compliments go out to BBShark...

Part 2. Testing the projectors in the kitchen :) Problem with xenon is that it only uses one light bulb. A C3 uses two lightbulbs, one for low beam and a different one for high beam. So with the OEM wiring and the xenon in place switching from low beam to high beam the projectors...

Hello Everybody, I'll also post this project overhere because most forummember aren't following my '81 project in the L81 section. Well as we all know the OEM headlight system is preforming under average so something began boiling in my mind to change it. This was back in '07 or '08. At that...

Thanks everybody for the compliments :) @Gerry. I used Chart #1 page 6E1-17 to trace the problem. At Idle, choke engine: no dwell change. Disconnect Oxygen Sensor, connect voltmeter to it and note dwell: under 10 degrees. Engine at curb idle connect ECM terminal 2 to GRD with voltmeter: Under 2...

No problem Cor, it's just that I had imagined my first groupie to be somebody else... :D Took her for a spin last night. Still need to put all the lights at the same height. With the hid cut off plate you can clearly see if one or more are to low or to high. Greetings Peter

@Cor, are you stalking me? ;LOL:gap Driving it is a great idea but next time I think. Greetings Peter

Another update on the headlights but this time with the end product! :happyanim: As the model wasn't perfect I fabricated some extra polyester left and right. And then after houres of sanding and putty ready for painting (first round) First layer paint was white. Very think so I could...

x2! So next question :) Greetings Peter

Happens to the best, no problem! :) Greetings Peter

You can remove it with your fingers. Move your fingers around the button and try to get under it. Its as easy it is! Greetings Peter Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9195 met Tapatalk

If you want to get to the turn signal switch then the horn button is the easiest thing to do. So don't give up we're here to help you. Jim really is the master in steeringcolumn stuff! Good luck! Greetings Peter Verstuurd vanaf mijn GT-I9195 met Tapatalk
