'Electric' Lights for BJ

frizky101 · 22-06-2009, 11:30 PM

was browsing the net and came across this:

http://www.showoffimports.nl/product...roductid=24209

what does it mean by 'electric' light?

also would it fit my car seeing as this site is like euro spec?

Cheers.

They are just smoked headlight corners, nothing euro about that!

If i were you, I would troll www.ebay.com (the american ebay..), just type in protege and see what pops up

since it's a dutch website, i'm assuming also the "engrish" translation is very poor. hence electric lights. aren't all lights electric?

OMG, when did gas lanterns go out of style?

I think it's just a quirk of their language being directly transrated into Ingrish.

Could be the brand.

They may be LHD spec, which means the lenses are set up for LHD beam patterns/projections.

frizky101 · 23-06-2009, 06:02 PM

is that legal in aus?

frizky101 · 23-06-2009, 07:35 PM

lol nevermind just got a reply from them,

Hi,

That light will fit the Astina BJ as “FBJ” is in the application list. Unfortunately UPS just informed us that no service is possible to Australia. Sorry Brandon!

Kind regards / Met vriendelijke groet,
Team Showoff

bummer haha

Very nice, except the reflectors are angled towards on-coming Australian traffic.

frizky101 · 23-06-2009, 08:24 PM

You can, but they'll be harder to adjust to get the same light pattern or be as accurate as your standard ones - because they're designed for LHD roads

The corner lights won't be a problem, but the headlights will always flick upward towards traffic on the extremity of their light spread. Consequently you would need to aim your lights down lower than what is considered suitable.

Side lights? I'm not talking about those. I'm talking about the reflector dish in the main headlight.
