De-ginger QUEST!!!!!

[andysat]

Takes years off it!

Sorry, I'm an impatient bugger so got them in as early as possible I'm sure there are cheaper mail options..would definitely recommend terkarbon though, and Eric is very approachable

BTW - this year, I opened them up again as they now do diffusers for the angel eyes, and I wanted to reduce the ginger effect further on the indicators. Will post some pics later (am on a cheapo data tarrif from Rome at the moment) but was easy, just a messy process.

Diffusers for angel eyes....what are these?

Here you go....

They are plastic rings that cover the angel eye LEDs and diffuse the light, giving a more solid ring of light

Are these different from the below

Ones on the right

There is a small diffuser on the angel eyes that comes as standard. These cover the whole piece - you do need to shape them slightly to mount them in the headlight shroud as they are slightly too large.

I'll look for the link....

Trouble is I've already glued one pair in. Do they make a big difference? Do they not reduce the brightness slightly?

 

[markeg]

The diffusers make them look a lot clearer, less aftermarket IMO. Here's a close up..

Hey mark, so with this new cover the 'yellow LED's' are not visible?

 

[Leesfarm07]

Oh dear I can see the Stanley knife coming out again Rich
I think I'll just order some anyway see what I can do

 

[Leesfarm07]

The postage is quite high from the states...if you want any Rich we could share the postage and combine an order

Hey mark, so with this new cover the 'yellow LED's' are not visible?

Only slightly, Ranski. If you get real close, you can see them. But from afar they look like a solid ring.

This is a close up, as you can see you can just make out the yellowing (using a 9v battery for power supply)

This is with no power, the LEDs are pretty much hidden

[ranski]

Right!

A new project for spring!

Thanks mark

 

[markeg]

No problem - if I manage to get back from Italy for a while and make a midland meet, you can see them close up!

They look brilliant! Im hovering over the proceed button for the full set ($107.50 inc delivery. Just over £70) should probably check with my mrs before purchase

 

[shawna]

What about the clear/plastic lenses?

 

[markeg]

You mean the boomerangs?

Tapatalking...

 

[jttaylor]

Other than Marius DIY on the boomerangs is there anywhere that supply them?

Believe some guys are contacting Eric at Terkarbon, as he seems to have a source for them. Also there was a thread on here of getting some manufactured. Failing that, it's either the manual approach, tinting or getting some donor lights.

Actually Tekarbon doesn't replace them, they only paint the amber ones to 3 available shades of smoke :thumbsdown:

Seems the easiest option is tinting then unless you want to risk having a play like Marius did.

They replaced mine... That must be a new development.
