Can't live without a Dremel.
I'm anxious to se how they turn out. I really anxious because of the cost (CHEAP!!:D), and that fact that you wouldn't have to do any body work to make them fit!

post some pics if you can!

I'll have to see what I can find in my storage unit this weekend. I've got a very busy schedule this week. I have to house sit for my friend this week. Free homemade beer, 12.8% alcohol.:yummy: Free cable. Am I lucky or what. I'll see if I can get to the lights.;)

Sounds like you got it made man...:D what else could you ask for?
No hurries though, take time on this one, and it should turn out pretty nice.

Hi!

I'm new to this forum, I was wondering, since you are talking about alternative headlamps, if you ever saw the Wizard Roadster with Mercedes headlights, pretty neat. I asked them if they sell the fenders for this conversion, they told me that they didn't but it's an easy conversion with minor bodywork. I attached a picture of the Vdub with those headlights.

Frank: What class Mercedes are the headlights from? I would like to know, could you post a picture of the lights so we all can see what they look like?:D



John

Hi again

Sorry for the little inconvenient, I don't know why my first post did not have the picture of this conversion. Anyway, I'm sure you already seen this conversion, it was in a 1999 or 2000 edition of VW trends

Very nice. That just gives me more ideas.:hehehe:

Boygenius: If you need more info, I can check out to find my VwTrends with the article on that green speedster. I remember it tells some info on the conversion and there are some good shots of the car. That conversion is one that I would really like to get on a beetle so I ask the company that did it but they only told me t it was a one off design they would not comercialize, they told me it was an easy modification. I also know they used fiberglass, these fenders are not steel.


Frank

Don't worry about finding the magazine. I'm a long way from having to worry about lights or fenders. My car is still in a thousand pieces.:(

Those lights are very nice:D I like the fact that they are not too over the top...very clean and thought out, nice touch to put new life into the beetle...:D

I would like some info on the lights Frank. It, might help with the technical info that I need....



John

Projector lights.
 

I think I'll be able to get to the lights this weekend.:)


If I can find them.:(

Hi!

I checked in my old Vdub magazines and found the article. Unfortunatly, it is of no use, there is no info about the conversion at all. I just sent an e-mail to the company that did the conversion years ago to get info on the lamps, hardware needed and time involved in the making. I hope to get an answer soon. These lights are wicked!

Frank

Frank: Awesome man, I hope they give you some good info on this one, I could really use it... the lights are awesome. they would look extremely good on a beetle.:D



John

Hi guys

Bad news that really pissed me off!! A salesperson from Wizard roadsters, the company that made the mercedez headlight beetle told me that they never did that conversion and that I probably mixed them up with another company. The problem is, I went on their website and there is a picture of it in their background!!! What the %#@!$&^? I know that Wizard handed their sales to EZbug, some company in UK, That's probably why they answered me wrong.

On the other hand, I found someone who actually has a Wizard roadster with the front Mercedez headlamps, I sent him an e-mail right away, asking him where the hell he got it.

Hope this won't remain a mystery for too long:(

Frank

Yeah...me too:(

But if/when the guy replies your gonna keep us posted right?

I know you will... I can't wait to hear the story man. I really need some more info:)
