Headlights on the Atom

[SuperT]

Has anyone ever found any decent lights to fit on the Atom, I always feel the existing, old fashioned big round ugly things make the whole car look very amateurish?
Surely there must be something a bit more up to date, & preferably smaller, that they could use????

Thanx for the response but those are Dominator headlights, which I think are arguably not suitable for road use on cars (& much cheaper on Ebay BTW - about £47 a pair ).

But I was thinking of something more modern looking, nice CNC casings or something like that - similar to the sort of thing on the Toniq R (only preferably not about £1500!!!) & not looking quite so much like someones stuck a couple of torches on the front of the car!!!

...but the ones on the Toniq are lovely!

Why would they not be suitable for road use?

Dominator headlights have a dipped centre beam, E-marked for European use.

"Why would they not be suitable for road use?"

They are "E" marked for European use, but I think that's only for motorcycles, they have a flat beam pattern, surely for MoT & persumably sva they'd have to have a kickup to the left?

Kit car suppliers might be the best bet. There are the headlights on the Toniq-R kit car, I don't know if the casings are bought or custom though.



You could get projector headlights, but I don't know how you would mount these on an Atom?

Are those seats an single unit bench please and does anyone know if they would fit a UK car?

Why improve the lights? That would take away all the fun of driving in the dark illuminating your feet and not the road.

I think the atom looks great the way it is they did a different light for a bit but the mounts wernt suitible, i think its best to leave the car standard
