daveac Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/product/All_In_One_Headlamp_Black_With_Chrome_Ring_LHD_ALLIN12L Anyone seen these in the flesh? Are they any good? Quite like the idea of adding DRLs (although probably wouldn't bother with setting up the indicators) and the chrome option would be a direct swap for my factory fit chrome lamps which are a bit lame in the focus/output stakes. Thoughts appreciated Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyB Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 It's a good idea, but.if the dimensions are correct on that webpage then they are massive! 5.5" diameter is ok for straight replacement of standard, but 9.5" long??? Given the amount forward of the mounting bolt, clashing with cycle wings could be an issue. If they did a 4" version I'd be interested.... If CBS are at Race Retro next week I'll have a wander over and have a look at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Frankland (T3OMF) Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I saw them on another style kit car at Llandow Track day last year, they are big and I think they will look massive on a Westy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Funny you should mention these, I looked very briefly at them before doing the DRL style conversion to my 5 1/2" standard lights. I hadn't realised they were that big! I just didn't like the long tapering side profile. I wonder how big the innards are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westford Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 The innards are big as they house a projector lamp unit - I saw them last year at the autosport show, they are big.....and fugly in my opinion! Westford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveac Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Cheers chaps, they sound a bit hideous! I'll be sure and have a face-to-face look at these before I go any further towards a careless, impulse buy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mi7rennie Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Sorry to dredge up this old thread but has anyone tried these lights? If so do you think it would be possible to paint the front rings black to match the body? Also are they any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Yes you could, though one of the colour options is for a sort of mat/satin black front ring. Pictures and some colour options are quite deceiving. I've got the chrome front/carbon effect rear on my new build, and whilst they're long, they're also quite slim, so the proportions work really well on my car. (I think ), so I've changed my mind since the post earlier in the thread. Not to every ones taste, I know. Here you go, from a few angles: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhutch Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 They actually look ok. Anyone know if the beam pattern is any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrisisWolf Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 They look good in the flesh - saw some at Castle Combe. Neat all in one units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mi7rennie Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Has anyone else seen them with black front rings? I'm really not keen on the chrome from part. Also how do they compare light output wise with the 5 1/2" lights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dombanks Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 they fit in well with the swept wing look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloydox Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Here's some pic's of them on mine as far as the beam pattern goes they are just the half moon with no kick up but will pass IVA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mi7rennie Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Ok, they look better in all black, can I ask where you sourced them Llyodox? or did you paint them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 You can get plain black too. Along with all "chrome", carbon effect and various combinations of the finishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
