hi you all, i was wondering if their would be an interest in true morrette twin headlights? like the ones available for our sister cars over the lake, ie europe. i am currently working on a set for pre 98 contour, and if there was a big enough interest i would make sure i could make this available for all. it would be available for all contours and mystiques no matter what year car you have. i know milan has done his quad beam lights and there seems to be a high interest in those from what i hear from milan. i should have prototype maybe done by the end of the week to give you guys an idea of what they look like. they will be offered in variest forms, in terms of turn signal design- clear or orange, led, and hid or halo. just wanted to hear feed back as to how many would be interested if there was even an interest. and this was not intended to take away anything from milan at all
I'm interested in Milan's set, but may be swayed...need to see your mock-up though.

yea, definately, lets see some pics when you're done. Did you say that someone else had done this?
hector,
i am not trying to offend anyone on this board, that is not my goal. I have already talked to milan about this
several weeks ago and he is ok by this, we may even help each other out - sorry milan i didn't want to get
you involved with this. if you guys are so opposed to this thats fine, i just thought the more options the
better for our cars since we have such a small aftermarket as it is.

Ben

Everyone was crying over the fact that Chris H and brad noon are closing shop for personal reasons (sorry to hear chris and brad) and now milan makes some sweet ass headlights and toofastsvt wants to make a morrette style headlights and everyone thinks he stepping on milans toes?
WTF people are trying to make products for your cars!!!! Stop the he made it first crap and just be happy that other people are stepping up to make something.
It reminds me of the focus guy that made a turbo for the zetec that was track, Dyno, and street tested and had a fellow CEG'r there to vouch for the performance, IIRC there was a guy that doesn't post here no more because of a nervous brakedown he had about a month ago, all he kept trying to do was knock down the credability of the turbo'ed zetec because he had one of his own.
Guys relax and may the best man make the best product for everyone to enjoy!
exactly my thoughts, the more the marrier..
I'm interested, depending of course on price and the like. i like the morette style a little more than the Style Milan put together. (though those are sweet still) Any idea what kind of time frame you're looking at for 98+ lights?
Oh yes I want those so badly, please make them mine.
I think it's good that more people are making things, and I think it's great that Morrette style headlamps will be available. I still like Milan's headlamps better because they're more my style. I want my car to pass over as stock to some people (stock meaning looking like an expencive German performance sedan, I've already had people ask me if it's a Jag because of what the rear end looks like) so as soon as I get the money, and as soon as Milan has pre-98 Mystique quad projector Xenons available, my money goes to him
re this post,
milan and I have talked about this whole situation and are solving it, we are each working on our own project for now and are
considering join forces in the future
thank you
make the market as big as the Civics and Acura market...
who cares who makes what as long as its bein made
like someone else said...the more the merrier...for all the annoucements on alot of parts for our cars prolly most of them have not materialized in the yr and a half i've been reading the site...for all the light mods mentioned i've seen 2 cars with different headlights...and that was josch's and milan's...and these weren't announced in the beginning as being for the group as far as i know...just a couple of creative dudes hooking up their cars and then offering to do lights for those of us interested
I would like a set of those after I would see some pictures, plus the price also, keep us posted man, you are doing a great job, keep it all coming.
Anyone that are puting there time and money into something we will be able to use in a future props to you guys.
just so im clear on this...the morrette style lights are the round ones, right? usually body color housings?
if thats it then a ford mis-dealer in orange county had 2 or 3 foci on the lot at the beginning of the model year..when i saw them i thought it was a design change, but i soon realized that they were just more or less dealer modded
looked much better than the lighting the focus has now
I would like a set,depending on price and if they can be painted.
these will be paintable, just like the ones for the mondeos
as soon as i have more info and pics i will post it
thank you for all your patience
sure sounds good to get a different look than stock..so I would be interested.......thanks
MMS and Morrette-styled light
Nothing wrong with having choices, especially with our lack of an aftermarket. Keep up the good work guys, its much appreciated. Whether you want that stock but not stock look (MMS) or the aftermarket look of Morrette-styled lights it looks like 2 guys have us covered, thanks
Can't wait to see the tailights MMS is working on, plus his car is silver so I can see what they "really" look like on my car!
I would definitely be interested in some post 98 lights. Of course, it would depend on design and price
I am intrested depending on the price.
Depending on the price I will be interested in a set of quad HIDs. But it will have to be after the first of the year.
i imagine them looking something like this but paint to match the car and the turns signals being round too.
Looks cool how much will they run?
thanks mikey, yes that is look i am going for with the addition of the side marker. i still have more things to figure out before i can come up with a price, mostly labor time.
I am very Interested, let me know the price and if it is not to rediculouse then I will definatly buy a set ..I need a cure for my foggy fronts
peace

The wing, the humanity, i no likey......
any news on the lights yet?
VERY INTERESTED! Let's see some prototype pics!!!
BP
here you go!
how long before we can get em'?
me likey
Is that pic real or photochopped? The area between the blinker and the other light looks kinda weird.
Still interested tho... How's the beam pattern compared to stock. Any brighter? What are we lookin at for cost?
Thanks,
BP
it is a photoshop. it is just to give peeps an idea of what they may look like. everyone keeps asking for pics but there is nothing to take pics of.
sweet looking. Is HID an option? Just asking.
hey, what happened? is this GB still goin'?
the first set of lights has to get made first. PM toofastsvt and ask him.
Me likey very much!
Can't wait to hear the price!
It's been a while. Any updates?
yah, anything? anybody? if anybody knows anything, please tell!

wow...nearly 2months with no info from toofast...he's either putting together his gameplan..or there IS no gameplan
cool!
maybe they will look like this.
I would like a set too. Has the price been decided yet?
doesn't look like anything is happening
sorry guys,
i have been really tied up for the last two months, i am still pursueing this. i am trying to work out all of the bugs for the pre 98s right now, and get everything else lined up for them. As soon as i have something more to offer(pics) i will put it up. thank you for your patience.
i'm very interested in those lamps.
Thanks for the update! I'm glad to see that this didn't die.
BP
I would like to get in on this group buy for the headlights, please add me to the list for the Pre-98's
Thnaks!
now that is one badass pre 98
so whats going on with the lights, I want them badly, I think they look sweet.
Hey mikey... you JUST like posting all those cool pics for us to drool over don't you...
i just like to see what products might look like that we can get made. it is cool to see something before it is even in existance to judge if we think it is worth putting time and money into. i think these lights are the sh**. especially on that red beauty.
Hey cool! So it will get rid of the orange reflector, kinda like
this?
If this is what they look like, exactly, I will take one right lamp so I dont have to build another.
Yes, I know its still rough, thats why the file is called 'leftunfinished.jpg'
Oh ya, this one is only a park lamp. The turn functions have been removed. It is also lit by LEDs.
Yes , I am too interested in these head lamps.

dude sweet!
I was wondering how long it would take someone to read that reply.
It looks better then I imagined fitted onto the car. Its going to be run as is for now until I get the other three lenses modded.
It is very cool illuminated too. If these get created, I think you guys will be happy with the results.
create some for me, or i will create some for you. dude they are looking great. are you working on some headlights too? dude do you have aim? check below and aim me.

Thanks.
Yes, I am creating the headlamps as well. Those are still in the early stages of construction (ie: I only have lows on the car). Im fitting the new turn signal for the left side today. It was almost too deep and will most likely need me to notch the radiator support.
I have AIM (exdelayed) but your not online right now. I will check back later. Im warm so Im heading back outside.
EDIT: It would probably be good to continue this conversation in the thread I started in SW. That way there is no thread hijacking going on.
SORRY, just being honest, i'm really too lazy to read through alllll the fourm pages... I just want to know if this is still a GB, cause i would like to get in on it if possible. If not, my bad~ THANKS
Just read through all of the post... totally just forgot how much these were and if there was spots left on this 98+ Morette G/B. To lazy to read back through. Let me know either way.
Oh, I'm interested! I never liked the light/grill on my contour. But I like how it drives with the new suspension... would definately be interested in this buy to make her look sporty from the front. Should look nice with my nice white racing stripes I'm going to be painting up the hood!
Also interested depending on look for post 98's
How much? For a good price I'd be in.

BP

BP

BP
