Quad headlamp conversion



  • I have emailed PeninsulaSportsCars.co.uk asking where the headlights can be sourced from too!!



  • cool, if we get no answers from them,
    theres a complete minari for sale on ebay
    so we could pester him :lol:



  • :lol: I know i saw it…..

    Went on to Ebay looking for Minari parts.... well headlights!! :lol:

    Great minds 8)



  • Quad headlights = Awsome cold air intake



  • hellz yeah!
    heres one we made for a mates 205 Mi16



  • ohh have you seen how the bonnet opens

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MINARI-ROAD-SPORT-1700cc-16Valve-Injection-Silver-/170637111249?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item27bac3afd1

    this would make a very light front end ( fibreglass ) if you could bolt the hole lot onto a mx3 with a bit of modification. :D

    interesting …............... :D

    Hi Sam, I can't say if the Minari quad lamp housing will fit the MX3 as I have never tried it!!!! The pod housing was moulded from an MX3 lamp, which was broken up then fitted with tubes to produce the former from which the mould was made to then produce the pods. They are handed. Therefore one would assume it is not too far off and may just pop in. It will have to be bonded in the the steel using sikolflex or grp paste and blended with body filler, then spayed to match your car or satin black. The same process fits them in a Minari bonnet. The lamps themselves can be purchased from Car Builder Solutions, Europa spares, Stafford Vehicle Components etc. I charge £50 each pod as they are hand made, plus £20 carriage. If you are handy with the g.r.p you could make your own, allow about a day for each pod and £30-40 for materials, excluding paint and sikoflex. They should look pretty cool. Hope this helps, Paul.

  • might have to buy just one to find out
    for sure, as they are made to order
    so no returns!



  • looks like theyll need some mounts making up since the orig mounts are on the shell, those quads dont have that shell as they use spot lights instead, I reckon your lighting will be awful since the lights are recessed, normal quads have an open design so your light output range of discharge lights up most of the road, but those will restrict it



  • projector units will be going in there if anything :D



  • the same still applies to those, ive got bi projectors lined up for when I can find clear lenses for my own, only place i can find costs £80 just for the lense, which sucks when you think how you can buy a pair of dual halo projectors, with clear lense and housing for double that, but atleast it includes all the stuff.



  • were did you source your bi projector units from ?



  • ebay>china, its the EXACT same kit that you get over here, even down to the packaging, except near enough half the price. If you want quality gear, go to the retrofit source, the stuff they got is worth the money cos it will be better, no question, but its having £300-400 to burn thats the problem. As a note, all the projectors are in LHD, even if you buy them from the UK, since they buy them from the guys on ebay china, try asking, youll get told its lhd from china pps, but they wont answer if theyre from the UK



  • am i the only person that really doesn't like this style of lights? on any car?



  • Keep looking out as I have nearly done a section on projector headlights that will be online today or tomorrow that we can all do and will save you £180 on the RRP for uk spec ones :D :D

    yes, but you dont even own an mx3, so your opinion is null and void :p



  • fair point i guess lol. i just never liked the morette style of lights and these seem very similar. maybe with a spot of chrome or black paint with a lens but thats just me :lol:



  • Got a reply back from Peninsula - Looks like the same guy as the reply was pretty much word for word the same as the reply to YouDirtyFox.

    dont tell anyone, but I think they look hideous on any car too, only bmw have got the right balance, but recessed is yuk

    mate i dont like them either, and of course your opinion is as valid as the next man.

    Butt ugly according to my Spidy senses, but as said there are people that like them!
