Does anyone know how I could integrate a sidelight into the Tuscan style (Hella) headlights? I'm not a fan of the "bottle top" sidelights and would like to delete them whilst the car is being resprayed.

Buy the ones with the intergrated lamp?

Mine have it. Drop Hella an email.

Yes mine have them too and I've wired them up to come on as well as the bottle tops. I thought they were standard. They are at the bottom of the main beams (lower/inner pair). I have LEDs in both types which match the colour of the HIDs better. I've used low power LEDs in there so they just light up the reflectors with a faint glow and look good IMO

Hi Gentlemen
Yes I am fitting the integral sidelights onto my Cerb with the full quad conversion. I am keeping the pods removable as there is always the chance to swop back to the original.
Could someone please let me know if the main beam is above or below the dipped beam. It would also be good if there was a link on here as to the exact fitting of them. Common sense I know, but it would be handy. Ie are the support rings glassed in or Tiger sealed in?

Cheers

Dipped beam is above main beam - if you look at a pic you'll see the lenses of the dipped lights (the main beam is just a reflector). HIDs recommended smile hth

Just as an update to this. I managed to just drill the dipped beam lamps and push the sidelights into them. I have therefore eliminated the "bottle top" lamps and filled that small hole.

Paint is progressing well, top coat has started to go on now. I'll start a new thread with pics etc when it's all done.
