Congratulations on your IVA pass.

I to have looked at getting the Dominator headlights. After speaking to Russ from Furore Cars he did point out that the headlights have a flat beam pattern, but can be modified to dip to the left.

Below is an extract I have copied from their website.

Dominator Headlamps

The Dominator headlamp has been around for about 15 years now, but the Kitcar market has been slow to make use of them. They've been fitted to motorbikes & well known in the bike trade for most of that 15 years & are still immensley popular now. The lenses are just over 90mm & they measure approx 105mm across the diameter of the casing, hence smaller, lighter & less wind resistance than any other "traditional style" headlamp available - though not as small as the Projector lamps I sell.

Because they were originally intended for motorcycle use the headlamp pattern is basically flat. I was told by my SVA tester on 22/12/08 that a flat beam is completely legal in the UK, I believe it is the British/American beam pattern. In the new IVA regs it has been made quite clear that a flat beam pattern IS acceptable. However, most Mot testers expect to see a “kickup” to the left. If you look at the beam closely, it is in fact a shallow angle “V” which if you rotate the lamp by 15 degrees gives the required “kickup” for the standard UK beam pattern.

Hence, remove the lens & file a new slot about 12-13mm to the right (when viewed from the front) to locate the lens.


Hope this helps.
