hmm I would be interested. I actually sent him a 100 deposit that I never got back because unfortunately it was just shortley before his passing. I didn't even bother bringing it up because I thought it was in poor poor taste.
but, I was wanted his full headlight kit. I forgot what he said he was going to charge me but, if you got one. keep it for me. I will most certainly purchase it.

Interesting. I may be interested in the whole lot.
We (another rennlister and I) have developed a complete lighting kit that I’m assuming is very similar to Dan’s. Since his passing there isn’t really high quality kit available so we put one together for 10 of the local guys that is currently in testing. The kit we developed is completely modular to accommodate future upgrades incase Euro driving lights want to be added later (or now). The wiring used exceeds SAE standards and was gauged to handle in the range of 700W total lighting. Only Bosch relays are being used and the harness can draw power from either the alternator or directly from the battery. The thought here was ease of installation (pretty much plug-play), as well as some people’s reluctance in removing a 20 year old j-boot to access the alternator. We designed this kit to be a complete overkill from a wattage perspective and be able to withstand the under-hood conditions generated in a turbo car without a thought 20 years from now (shrink wrapped, loomed, double crimped, soldered, ect). If we were within 80% of potential wire gauge capacity we went up one. After reviewing some of Dan’s supplies, it appears that he also had the same passion for superior quality kits. The schematics and BOM, was reviewed by an EE/PE (work buddy) and he stated that it’s about as stout as you can get without purposely wasting money and we’re experimenting with both the Cibie and Hella e-code lenses and only use Narva bulbs to see which provided the best beam.
This type of harness is not for everyone as some people are okay with having lesser lighting capacity and using relays, wiring, and connectors that are available at any local auto parts suppliers. Once we get the last kit installed there’s a chance we’ll make more if others are interested and maybe Dan’s remaining stock can be picked up if it’s still available. Dan did not make much money on these kits and pricing would be a few bucks cheaper then his. If anyone may be interested in a kit, send me a PM to gauge interest and I’ll run it by John D (break off a piece for the list in Dan’s name). I should have pictures by Monday.

Robby, I would also be interested in a complete set of battery cables (pos. & neg.) and one of the adjustable voltage regulators. Please let me know if/when you get it all together.
TIA

Jeremy, I will definately be interested in one of your kits if you decide to market it to us rennlisters! I was in the process of talking to Dan shortly before he passed, and was extremely sad to hear we lost such a valuable member to our community...
