Astina Hardtop -> MX6 headlights?
Was just thinking...would MX6 headlights be able to replace Astina Hardtop ones?
presumably the mounting points would be slightly different, but nothing a bracket cant fix... you'd know, wouldn't you Cosmo?

Only thing I've looked at is the indicators, they look up side down.
I''m guessing you're talking about the GE MX6. Rod

oh well, i've bitten the bullet and bought a set
spoken to a few places and they reckon there's slight differences, but nothing a hacksaw and some bog can't fix! and at least i'll have some parking lights again!

headlights have irrived, and i'm fairly impressed. quality is pretty good, and it comes with all the wiring to connect straight up...to an mx6
Standard Headlight: New Headlight (temporary placement) Closeup of assembly Closeup of Angel Eyes once i mod the shape of them (they go a bit too far round the car and are different near the grille) they';ll be painted bodycolor. and maybe i'll finally get off my arse and make the taillights to match!

How close are the mounts?
It'd look interesting with the twin beam and standard parking lamps/indicators :P Rod

the mounts are fairly different - the one on the 'inside' of the light is way too long, hence it sitting forward in the photo, but the ones on the top are closer. it'll be a case of fabricating some custom ones.
what i'm thinking is wring up both the headlights to be on at the same the time, having twin headlights as the more light i have the better! and no mike, they're still sitting in the box they came in
