Default HEADLIGHTS - The Solution !

To make a long story short - The old Headlight Leveling Motor fits 100% - and has the same leveling length!!!

So - Genius German Engineering - has made it again!!! - ha ha ha - lol!

Will get back later as soon as my D4S HID lights arriving - so i am able to complete TOM's front and the rest of the car!!!

Some pics for the audience... enjoy!

hohoho.. you are going to beat GammaLex to it.

I didn't know you have the Tom's eyelids. Are they for sale now?
And that Tom's roof spoiler sure looks nice.

You beat me to it Marcus LOL I was gonna post that info along with the complete list of parts needed to do the conversion. I was going to take pics once the chrome trim from the bumper arrives

Looking good Marcus. I love that Alacantra headliner and pillers. I think that will be my next mod after I put my aero and new wheels on. I cant wait till you get the rest of your parts in.

Marcus

So it is not that difficult after all.

Did you try to fit 06 headlights with the old bumper?
You guys should post up all the part numbers, so other members who are also interested in this mod can follow.
I should have bought those 06 headlights for $900 when I had the chance. lol

No - can be done by everyone who has a little experience in LEGO building!

Should fit - you posted some picture of a white SC some weeks ago.

GAMMA will post the list of numbers for sure - and the 'HOW TO DO' manual

marcus

p.s. i asked myself - why those brothers of nippon build a special circurit for this - as the solution is that simple...???

I had hoped you would say they wouldn't fit, so I could forget about this mod. haha

Why don't you order Answer rear lip?
It will flow and looks very nice with your TTE tips.

nice job, congrats marcus and gamma awesome looking results seems like everything is plug and play huh? so the autoleveling works, that means the only thing missing is the AFS?

Yes - AFS is not working, maybe a genius mind could develop a black box with two potentiometers - so you can control the lights from the inside of the car - this would be very PIMPING at all !!!
