Those are mini projector assemblies. They focus the beam down the road and have a very sharp horizontal cutoff so you don't blind oncoming traffic. The bi-xenon version comes with a servo attached to the cutoff plate that moves it out of the way for high beam. The advantages of these projectors is that they are awesome and light up the road extremely well. You will be able to see much better, will be easier to see during the daytime, and the lights won't blind other drivers.

Well, that sucks. I think this mod is 100 times better than stock could ever be. Safe for everyone involved.Neosophist wrote:

Re: Better Lights for an NC35
Very nice vfrman! I like the gauges too, are they original or aftermarket?..
I don't know much about electronics or modding things so I'm after something that will improve my lights without too much modding or changing wiring etc..

The dial faces are aftermarket. White face with reverse el glow. The only reason I got them was because the stock gauges were hard to read the kmh at night.
