Jan4iks Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Probably everyone knows how difficult it is to find the Impreza "BLOBEYE" Morette headlights. I've been looking for them for a long time, but unfortunately, I didn't find anything suitable. Then I decided, if I can't find it, I'll make it myself! This is how my project came about. The aim of the project - creation of Morette headlights copies using available light modules. And maybe, the headlights what I make, will be interesting to someone else too… Starting point: - Subaru Impreza "BLOBEYE" - the opportunity to borrow original Morette headlamps from a friend - Skills in working with fiberglass I will not go into details, therefore below it will be more pictures and just a little text… Ok, Let's go! 1. Making masks copies: - genuine Morette headlights: - made fiberglass shapes: - first copy of masks ready: - sizes identical to an original (my masks on genuine headlights): to be continued..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan4iks Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 Continuation... 2. Light module choice: - Of the available cars with round headlights, the choice is not too large... - For low beam my choice stopped at the BMW E-30 - desired diameter, compact anchorages, available used: - For high beam, I did not find anything from known cars in size, therefore I chose Hella universal modules: - Turn indicators - universal Hella modules: 3. Bracket fabrication: - This will be the most difficult process... copying the original with tape: - Scanned in the computer: - Draw in graphic editor: - Print and glue it on a metal plate and cut it out: - The "alpha" version of the bracket is ready for measurement: to be continued...

Jan4iks Posted March 12, 2020 Author Share Posted March 12, 2020 4. Fitting on the car: - on the car: - small problem - not fit the light module: - after all adjustments look of the bracket slightly changed: - Editing file and send it to a laser cutter: to be continued...

Jan4iks Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 5. Conclusion... - cut out, folded, screwed: - painted with black primer: - on the car: - from inside: - Work with project "beta" version finished - bracket still need minor improvements, but it will no longer affect the overall look! Thanks for Your attention 😉! If any questions, feel free and ask! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan4iks Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 Continuing about the "beta" headlamp set... arranging electrical wires: What's next!? To continue working, I plan to put this set on sale, better than DIY (without light modules) - because the light modules will also be useful for set # 1 😉 PS Of course, if there will be interest, I can also sell with all modules and then buy everything again for the next set...
