Dual rounds - LEARN ME

[vdubb98gti]

yo pk i have some stock cadillac hids with projectors and ballast if your interested in them

you should make a custom grill and make them single rounds like everyone is always talking about doing but it never happens

iv been thinking about doing this ha but no time. i have like 3 spare dual round sets

[PKstrategy]

does anyone know the size of the hi beam bulbs on hella dual rounds?
pretty certain the low beam bulbs are h1.



thanks

[MYGTI_MA]

did you email Daniel with type of lens you have, hes pretty good at knowing the bulbs as well.

[PKstrategy]

i'll get on that. thanks!

thanks corrado.

[MYGTI_MA]

[Water Boy]

Im a huge fan of the dual rounds.

Fingers crossed ill come across some here in Australia one day!

The hi beams would just run the same bulbs as stock fogs then, h3 55w?

[vanaman]

yep same as fogs

[PKstrategy]

so on top of metal cast yellow paint on the inners, maybe add some PIAA Ions?

just did metalcast on a spare set of dual rounds i have just messin around didint really prep it or anything but it came out nice. Are you talking about bulbs?

[PKstrategy]

me too man lol i been waiting for 2 weeks for my sound deadner rolls to come in and i havent been able to do anything on the car becasue of that lol but now im gonna get crackin haha

i dont have pics right now ill try and get some up later, i only did 1 lens to see how it came out now i needa do them on my mint spare set i have then swap them into my car sometime this winter lol and get new bulbs since mine are burnt out if i remember right. As far as the metalcast it lays down nice but it will look mint if inbetween coats you wetsand it with 1000 grit we sand paper oput another coat then use 2000 grit and lay ur last coat (3 coats should be plenty) it klooks nice and flat when you do it like that. I do bodywork so its lil tricks like that that make a diference in the end lol

yeah the problem with me on this is that my garage is inaccessible at the moment.
and vdubb, thanks for the tip. when do u know to start wet sanding?
meaning, how long do u wait after the 1st coat to start sanding? 2nd coat? etc

i waited like half hour between coats in a garage at 70 degrees just wait till its dry to the touch

[jettasmooth]

dual rounds are where it's at!!



I don't think I'll ever get rid of mine. Currently working on wiring in the HID's to the projectors.

[PKstrategy]

i remember your car dood
still got the momos?
and i believe yours were hella? not sure

[jettasmooth]

yup, the momo's are here to stay. Mine are hella's.

And should have some extra traction to the rear wheels by the end of the year

PS- lamin-x is your friend. I put it on when I got my headlights a few years ago, and the lenses are still minty mint.

[PKstrategy]

rear traction eh?
syncro much?
yeah i was planning on the yellow laminex and clear laminex for the lo beams.

i got hellas in the mix too now, but they need a lot of work.

[jettasmooth]

passat syncro rear beam, but a little 02M 6 spd and haldex rear end as an upgrade

[PKstrategy]

that thing is gonna rip
making any shows this year? not sure if u did last year.

on topic: any spare hella dual round parts lying around?

[jettasmooth]

I'm hoping to be out at dustoff. I made it to H20 last year, but my car was hidden on the edge of the dirt track with the NEK fellows.

I have quite a few spare parts at home. I still need to pull my headlights and make sure I've got everything still intact on my current setup. I think I have a few spare highbeams and lowbeam projectors.

I did have a spare set of masks, but sold em a few weeks ago. Someone should make a mold for those things, they are soooo brittle.

[PKstrategy]

definitely planning on hitting dustoff, as are a bunch of others in this very thread.
well def lemme know what ya have kickin around spare part wise when u get the chance.
PM me as to not clutter this thread.

[Dr.AK]

Dual rounds rock!

I used to rock a set of Votex on my old Mk3:

[Chips Ahoy!]

^that looks awesome

[B-Tower]

where did you find the correct sizing for the lamin-x? or did you just buy a sheet of it and cut it to fit?

[jettasmooth]

Bingo. I bought a sheet, and was able to get 2 headlights out of one.

[vdubb98gti]

pk heres something for you my man

i was waiting till i got some pics.. heres my hellas with laminx on the inners buy them on the laminx site nissan sentra foglights (4.5 inch diameter ) stick them on and your good. One thing im not liking too much though is the sides dont really stay down that great im going to try using heat to get them to settle. I figured id try this first before taking my lights out painting my spare set and swaping them cause i have all my gaps on my lights and grill perfect right now lol. So well see how it goes worst case they come out and i paint my spare set and swap it

[PKstrategy]

thanks man
that looks really good
i have options this way and this method is probably more "reversible" if needed.
