Technical Custom headlight units

[CLXCraig]

Am i right in thinking aslong as the headlights/sidelights/flashers meet MOT standards they're legal

Not really satisfied with stock panda lights, so was thinking about custom ones. Wouldnt be to hard to produce (famous last words) but what would be the best lights to build into it

LED side lights... maybe audi-esque
xenon headlights (maybe another pair for ultimate brightness)
LED indicators

Understandably i expect this to up the power being used for the lights so a relay in the system will need to be used.

also how are the lens fixed together. glued?

Yes, glued, but in case of emergency they could be dismanteled into owen on 70 C

Nice! I used a blow torch with similar effect.

ahh brilliant!

I always wanted to get inside to clean the lense.

How to seal it again though...clear silicone sealent?

Perhaps some glue or sealant with glue in it. I've seen sealant used on previous cars I've owned and it has always gone off and the the lens fallen off. If you use the blow torch method, do heat the glass and not the plastic. The oven solution does seem a little more elegant either way!
