Mark, looking at the above post, it looks as tho' I'm wrong about the Fury having 7" lights, it would appear they are 5 & 3/4! Might be best to run a tape over them check!

Russ,

How soon do I need to commit to a purchase?

Thanks

[Edited on 25/4/15 by HowardB]


My apologies, thought they were 7" on the Fury, there have only been 2 common lamp sizes in the UK (excluding Dominators & twin headlamp setups) before we went to modern lamps tailored to each vehicle; which are 5 & 3/4" & 7", so if it's bigger than 4" (Dominator size) & smaller than 7" it has to be the 5 & 3/4"

Re committing to purchase, it's still a case of seeing how many are interested, tho' from what we have here & elsewhere it will almost certainly be going ahead. I'm away for 2 weeks from Mon 27th (webshop, brake hose making etc. will all run as normal, I now have someone working for me full time) & we'll sort out confirmed orders & deposits then so week starting 11th May, will need a firm committment deposit during that week I would think

HowardB, Russ

Many thanks for the advice so far. I am still committed to the brightest lights I can get in there for the aperture size.

Cheers
Mark

Are the 5 3/4" ones 95mm deep? Or is that for the 7" lights?

Thanks

I will measure up what lights I have on mine, but I do like the 5 3/4 option with the LED/DRL halo.

Having said that I was going to replace my current chrome lights with some smaller 4 inch black ones I purchased a while back. Am I right in thinking these 4 inch lights would be next to useless, other than looking nice and sleek ?

If I were to keep my Chrome ones and get the LED inserts, what options would I have for turning the chrome to black, painting them etc ?

The Fury LeMans bonnet definitely takes 5 3/4" lamps. The Classic bonnet (I believe) takes 7" units.

Looking at that, there is no way a 7" goes in there.

That'd be because it's a LeMans bonnet and they take 5 3/4" lamps.

Adi,

I agree, that's what I thought and that is why I took the pictures. The confusion was because the lamps are marked as a 7R-01066

thanks for confirming my conclusions,.



see you at Stonleigh?

Can you not get these for the Dominator? Not so worried about having a built in driving light or indicator if space is too tight.

After using my car at night for the first time in 7 years I think I can say I want some to replace my Dominators too.

5 3/4 please with housings or suggestions where to get some. But I do like the spider eye 7" versions too (can you get these in the 5 3/4?)

Give us an update when you get back.

Unfortunately not at present, given the popularity of the Dominator headlight, particularly on bikes, I guess it's possible they may become available, obviously if they do we would almost certainly stock them.

We can get a 90mm unit, but only as separate dip & separate main beam units, not combined


Link

they wouldn't fit the Dominator bowl with massive modification & were horrendously expensive, hence we no longer stock them, tho' we can still get them to order

No particular advice re housings, not something we do at present, I guess the usual suspects like rally design, svc, cbs or ebay.

The "spider eye" style is only available in the 7", everything we can currently get I have pictured

Full update to follow shortly!

Hi All

Sorry it's taken a while for me to get back to you all on this, internet was virtually non-existent in Cuba & very slow & expensive when it did work, hence I haven't made any updates till I got back & first couple of days was busy getting everything back straight - you know what it's like coming back from hols, almost wish you'd never been!

Right, unless lots of you drop out when we need deposit which is now very shortly then the group buy will definitely go ahead, I am contacting my supplier today & would expect an answer by tomo/over the w/e to confirm pricing & availability which I'm not expecting to have changed from my initial post, but it's always best to check these things first.

I will compile a list & will send u2u to each of you to confirm your requirements - if you want lights & haven't got a u2u by the end of today then either u2u me or drop me an email at russbost@googlemail.com

Cheers Russ

Sorry, missed this fist time round! The 7" are 95mm deep, the 5 & 3/4 are 86mm deep, apologies for mixed metric/imperial units!

Have had response from my supplier pricing is as already agreed & delivery should be rather quicker than I had originally suggested, if I get the order in later this week then lights should be delivered to me early in June which is a bit of a bonus.

I will be responding to all u2u's later today with regard to collecting deposits etc. so if you haven't heard from me by end of today please give me a chase up

Cheers Russ

That'd be great as I might be able to get them fitted before I go away at the end of June.
