Hi I can measure the size of the elise lights if you want to compare? One thing to bear in mind is it was a tight fit in terms of height to fit the elise lights into the space once occupied by the original lights.

Thanks for the offer Chris but I have managed to get hold of some lights. Just need to find some tubing 122-123mm wide - not as easy as you might think!

To make the light buckets? its easier to stop by a plastics shop and get them to cut you some 1" FRP and stack it to make the mould.

I agree - it does look good in black instead of the body colour. If you get the chance, take afew pics from a further distance back. Just to get a different perspective.

Well done !!!

Simply brilliant

It's the contrast between the yellow and black, just superb...

You've just raised the bar for the Elise light conversion...
