Modified AU Headlight.

[sfr rob]

good work mate!
glad SOMEONE finally decided to do something with the shizen AU headlights!!

Good luck with the sales, i am sure you wont need it! :hihi:

[Mechan1k]

Me thinks these are going to sell like hotcakes.

[scotty_d]

Are these done on a swap basis, do you buy back our old lights. I might be interested if I don't sell my AU.

Cheers Scott

At this point, I do not require changeover AU headlights so to answer the question, no.

[divine_afg]

i love them DOK ......... mines already custom painted exact same ...... more interested in the light

[Mechan1k]

OK .. bringing this back from the dead.
OK ... someone purchased these lights .... was it Duffman.
Would love to see installed pics.

I am just curious to see how they turned out.

Me too. Also How Much for the lights without delivery charges? I'm interested but just wondering bought price wise if i can do it soon. :

[Duffman]

Yes it was me and they are all in working and are really good.

Iv got heaps of good pics on the digital camera last night and then find out the computer cable is missing. One of dads mates lost it and reckons he is picking up another cable tonight I have no idea how when he doesn't even know what the connection looks like.

Here are two pics on my crappy camera phone as soon as I get a cable ill have heaps of pics!

[sfr rob]

oh ... i want to see them properly!

good teaser though duffman, they look hell bright!

[The Dok]

Nice pics dooooood, really made all the lonely hours in the cold dark workshop with the broken radio & chilling wind whistling through with the cries of my children saying they wish I would "please finish work daddy" which finally led to the breakdown of yet another relationship............well worth the effort..........but no no it's ok...........those pics are fine e

[Duffman]

I cant beleive the luck im having with cameras

1. I borrow a camera from a mate to take the pics
2. Says his mum needs it back
3. We dont have our camera
4. Take photos on phone (crap)
5. Go to mates house sorry camera not here
6. Get back our camera
7. The guy lost the computer cables to our camera
8. He is going out to buy another but i dont know how he knows which one it is
9. STILL NO CAMERA

Its driving me crazy I wanted to have the pics up asap but it seems like all forces in the world are stopping me.

Here is anoter camera phone crap pic.

This is a (rough) chop done by a member a while ago, at least it gives some idea of the end result. :voldar02:
However, on the series 2 & 3, the modified bezel actually meets the bonnet line (it appears to have been done in texta, in this chop) thus "squaring" up the front which I'm told by Duffman, looks awesome. :

[stock au]

they look really good Doc, just a pitty i have Oo=oO front end

[Duffman]

Here is a better idea of what they look like

Pics Friday/Saturday guranteed hopefully earlier.

Couldnt agree with you more Mechan1k :hihi:

So what do you reckon Dok could you do up two pairs??
:, I'll certainly buy a set so please note my interest if you do go into production.

DOK - maybe patent ya idea or copyright it before ford does and steals it back from you ! ..lol - They way you have done them looks great , I think most people with standard AU lights would agree they look a treat and would be ready to buy them ( good aftermarket replacement ! ) - be nice to have it so the area you painted matches the color of the car , that would finish them off perfect. Just as a sugestion maybe - u could even paint the outside of the lense too np with hi-temp primer , then paint to color of car - could use diamond paste to buff the surface to be painted so the paint wouldnt chip or flake off .. just another idea anyway - but again - job well done mate, you put the original designers of those pattern lights to shame ;) .

Thanks for the appreciation. I must add, these are the genuine Ford headlight (not aftermarket) basically all I have done is modified them to "enhance" the appearance. Perhaps along the way I may start doing body coloured bezels, but for now black or silver are the only options due to the time involved in these mod's. I have already received many enquiries about these headlights, but as stated in an earlier post, until I see the pics of them "in the car" I haven't decided if I will do any more, as they were done for "love not profit" Keep an eye on this thread though, ya never know?
I must add, I'm blown away by all the interest given the crappy pics, I can guarantee, when some DECENT front on shots become available, you will all be amazed how good they actually look!

[Mechan1k]

I think The Dok is over-worked and underpaid.
hee hee.
Will have to wait and see ... I really don't want to push the poor guy into making something that's more hassle than it's worth though.

The Dok knows I am interested though ... and I think he knows many others are as well ... hee hee

[Mechan1k]

Now that you mentioned SILVER ... HLC will be very interested .... hee hee.

And I think you will find it's a little more difficult than just swapping headlights over and enhancing the internals too.

BAhahahahahahahahahhahaha :

[Duffman]

Its nighttime I know but I got a camera not the greatest but here is the first image

[LUXO_8]

ya need to take daytime pics mate, we want to see what they look like....

that just looks like a tinted headlight,

[GlennBA]

HOW MUCH?????????
Can you get these with just the normal bezel done in black??
Looks great dok! love your work ;)

[NEG]

I dont know if anyone has already said this but I realy dont want to read through all the posts to find out, but IMO they would look much better the same colour as the car instead of just black, looks cheap.

[Duffman]

Im uploading more pics now and ill go and get some with the flash on. Iv been going to work before daytime and comming home after so havent had the chance ill try and get some better ones tonight ill keep posting up as i go along. Also got shots of the light output
