Here is a summary of the last couple of pages to try and help CustomScoobyIOM out a bit. Could anyone wishing to join this Group Buy iclude this list in their reply with their name added to the relevant category. I have added MY97's to the facelift category if this is incorrect can someone let me know. Unknown's please specify category. CustomScoobyIOM if you could try and find the answers to some of the questions it would be good.

Questions & Anwsers for some.
Are these lights E approved?
What timeframe are we looking at?
Final price? Will this vary on the numbers we get?
Are these the same lights API Engine's are selling?
Difference between these and Morette's? With these you only have ONE set of main beams, not two like on Morettes, as the outer lights are single filament bulbs.
Do they have Angel Eyes? Apparently yes
Who is the manufacturer?
Can they be painted? Yes

Questions & Anwsers for some.
Are these lights E approved? Mine aren't.

Are these the same lights API Engine's are selling? No idea i got mine from the US.
Difference between these and Morette's? With these you only have ONE set of main beams, not two like on Morettes, as the outer lights are single filament bulbs. All 4 bulbs are single filament.When you select main beam all 4 bulbs light up but you need to wire in a relay to get this to work.It is easy to do.
Do they have Angel Eyes? Apparently yes Yes they do the pictures on this thread are of my car before i wired in the halos or got the main beam working properly there is a picture of the lights with the halos on.

is there any one on here who is also doing the c/f bonnet group buy? if so Ive got some of these lights and could do a swap of some sort for your spare bonnet? My halo lights are not painted so are ready to paint and all you need to do is plug in as the wiring is already done.
Cheers

I've done it with mine.You need to wire in a relay.Here are Alcazars instructions that i followed.
You can get both main and dip to light up together.....you need a relay, standard 4 or 5 terminal, on/off, preferably with fuse.
Run a wire to terminal 85 on the relay, from headlight main beam. You can connect to the main beam wire with a Scotchlok.
Run a second wire from terminal 86 to earth, or battery -ve.
Now take a supply from battery +ve to relay terminal 30, or via a fuse, if your relay doesn't have one.
Finally, connect terminal 87 to both dip beam bulbs, AS WELL as the normal connection to them. You can do this via a Scotchlok, or cut into the wire and insert screw connectors, then tape everything up watertight.
This should produce dip on it's own, and main and dip when you select main.

Talking to a couple of scooby mates, they asked me to ask........Is the glass in the lights plain or does it have the directional patterns in it?
I have been warned that, because they are not E approved, the beam you get from them goes everywhere, rather than straight ahead,where you need it!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you can answer this or post some close ups of the glass.
