Yeah we will need to pull our headlights apart and cut stuff up. Not a straight fit. Fun fun

SP-20-DB · 04-07-2011, 10:36 PM

haev u started daniel?

mynameisdaniel · 04-07-2011, 10:50 PM

Kind of, got everything marked out, taken apart, started polishing the lenses, borrowed some hole saw drill bits, just yet to do any actual cutting

Ended up getting another job for the holidays so 55 hour weeks doesn't make it easy to find time for it

You guys done much yet?

SP-20-DB · 04-07-2011, 10:56 PM

Using that one pretty much... as well as making it up as I go

Na no bolts... I didn't even think about that until your post just then.... I'll just get some from bunnings I guess...

There is actually a guide for this on mazdas247 IIRC. (What isnt on there really?)

mynameisdaniel · 05-07-2011, 10:04 AM

Yeah there's two, but not quite as detailed with all the little tips

damn gunna have to find some lol and thats what i was doing just gotta work out a way to light up the globe with out the car???? uve done some great research mate

mynameisdaniel · 05-07-2011, 12:03 PM

If you can find an old computer the power supply produces 12V just like your car, nice and easy. Can even be wired up to run when the computer's off (using a paperclip)

I've been looking into this for at least a year so bookmarked a lot of stuff in that time

SP-20-DB · 05-07-2011, 01:00 PM

this is the only hurdle atm trying to light the globe. gunna have to do some searching

Clean_Cookie · 05-07-2011, 04:44 PM

any DECENT supply will work. 50w @ 12V = 4A. so any laptop supply will work with a correct connector. (JUST GET POLARITY RIGHT!) ive got lab supplies up to 2000W at my disposal, never really considered others dont have the same...guess im wrong! anyway BE CAREFUL with pc supplies. managed to get a 240v boot off one when i was younger and stupider.

SP-20-DB · 05-07-2011, 09:45 PM

SP-20-DB · 10-07-2011, 07:07 AM

How is every one going with theres? Just go my dremel tool yesterday so next break from work om gunna take the leap and start cutting :S see how this goes

mynameisdaniel · 10-07-2011, 10:57 AM

I've started cutting the backs of mine out, should have one finished tomorrow, you've got to cut quite a bit out.... getting it straight then putting the bolts in is going to be the hardest bit for me I think.
I'll put up some pics tomorrow of how I cut mine

A.E · 10-07-2011, 11:21 AM

Haven't started im probably going to put it on the back burner until I decide what I'm going with the engine and gearbox.
