they are pretty cool! I like them!

Just buy them from that site?! Delivery will prob take a week or two, but with the pound being so strong against the dollar at the mo, they're only just over £100!! Bargain!

I'd be interested to see them too... The thumbnail image shows the Shock MR2 which had a one-off set of fixed headlights made by Rogue!

Not thought about mass producing those one off headlights Patrick? I'm sure they'd sell like hot cakes! 8)

Yes, we though about it... The problem with them is that to get sufficient clearance to mount the lamps you have to cut into the chassis. There were also issues with reliably sealing the lenses on top of the units. In short, it would have been a difficult product to mass produce at an acceptable price point, and even harder to reach a level of quality that we were willing to put our name to.

With time factored in, the set that we produced would have cost about £3000! I'll see if I can dig out some pictures.

Sorry but it just niggles me-its "Rogue" not Rouge... :thumleft:

They do a set of low rise quad lights. Still pop up but nice bit of kit:

ahh i typed to fast lol.

my mistake :)

I do it all the time expect sometimes in my posts the word THE ends up like 'h.t.e' think its because I type looking at the keyboard then click post without looking throught my post for spelling/grammer mistakes lol.

I must learn to look at them before posting haha.

Lol, we all do it :)
You can look at the tuner ASK sport if you want flushmounts, but im dubious as to the legality of the lights they use for use in the UK :lol:
I think Envy still sell the ASK sport stuff over here...

Just the low-rise quad headlights from us I'm afraid. I've had a look around and I've found these photos from way back in 2004! Note that material has to be removed from the chassis for lamp clearance.

Wow that flushfit kit looks amazing nice job rogue! looks like maybe the beam pattern may be angled upwards or be cut off by the front bumper though?

Yes, the fit of the lamps meant that they were slightly lower than the level of the bumper. The beam pattern is fairly forgiving though and there was no noticeable cut-off.

To the letter of the law, had this been produce as a road legal kit then we would have had to get it "e" approved as the top lens cover would have marginally affected the beam pattern.
