[VLDavo]

1500 os a total rip off...... u can could of picked up a full calais for $1500..

around 600 - 800 is a fair price for a genuine calais front or as mentioned

$350 will buy u a fiberglass calais front.....

and ud have to be haveing a realy bad day to get booked for faulty pop ups...

Hi i have a vl executive... so i cant put an original pop up front end on? is there anyway i can?

 

[Bax]

Yeah you can, all you do is have to track down the front piece and the two eyebrows, take off your original nose cone. Put it on and then get it wired up.

Or as said above, you can get a fibremaster fibreglass copy fitted, looks the same but does not pop up, can be deemed as illegal but honestly it shouldn't matter as it doesn't effect the light by much at all.

Thanks mate, but i read through the thread and someone said soemthing bout executives not having the wiring loom for the pop up lights? is that true? and if it is.. is there a way of making a wiring loom? and is it expensive?

Yeah you have to wire up a relay, and you need to find the motor as well. Motors are getting harder to come by thanks to the fronts slowly dying out.

But if you have the motor essentially you just need to wire it up to a relay so that it gets power when you turn your lights on and what not. If you had a chat to your auto electrician they'd be able to help.

To be honest I haven't had a motor in mine since I got them thanks to the motor going missing. I'm not too fussed as you only lose a tiny tiny amount of stray light that shoots upwards.
