yep turn signals are from our 3.
I think im going to buy just one quad pod
first as they are 110$ each, to make sure
it will definately fit up with some brackets.

Think they will rock with projector units installed
and maybe one of these like I have made before
for a mates Pug 205 Mi16! :D

Good luck- it is not likely going to be easy or cheap. I built theseImage
a few years ago from scratch. The materials I messed up trying to get it 100% added up, but the projectors alone (Hella 90mm) were pretty pricey. http://www.rallylights.com/ is a great place to get the lights and a good resource if you have a very specific question.
The biggest issue I would research first is how to mount the lamps to the housing you pictured above. Hella, and most others, use a minimum of 3 mounting points. You can get away with 2, but you need the housing to be pretty aimed already to do so.

wow man nice touch on those!
you are right, expensive indeed after paint, and alot of time involved.
something i could put towards the turbo instead! Thanks for the advice though :)
It was a bit of a pipe dream, so im formulating a plan to modify some dual
projectors :)
If anyone wants contact details on were to buy the quad pods just PM me.

One thing about these pods... they are made to be moulded directly into the body of the kit car above, so there would need to be some modding to attach them to the MX.

If the measurements work out, and the fitment can be made without butchering a bumper, then I am definitely in... Cold air here we come.

Hammy's right you would need some really good fab skills to get these puppys attched
properly, I priced up it cost could upwards of £450 to install these correctly with pro paint and decent beams, so on this occasion.... Im oot
