    I have seen a number of posts on the Hayashi headlamps. Up, down, and a few videos of them in-action - Thanks to Greg G. But l have never actually seen them “on”, well on at night anyway. So last week I wanted to test out the bulbs that I have added to them (Philips Crystal Vision ultra for the LO's and Osram Night Breaker Laser for the HI's).

    In the past, I had read several posts that had talked of how poor to terrible the light output for the headlamps were. One post that I vividly remember reading even mentioned that Jack Hayashi himself dismissed the light illumination generated as being terrible. To my pleasant surprise, the output is actually pretty decent; the” hip-up” design is what obviously makes the difference with these. I do need to adjust them some for LHD though. I also have OEM fog lights installed but I need to finish wiring them completely (I hit a snag here since I want to use the fog light and rear defroster double switch). I think the projector fogs should work well with the Haysahi’s.

    Had a few badges produced. Since Peter and I both have the Hayashi Headlights and Tail Lights. I had searched the internet on and off for a Body Shop Hayashi Badge for a while, but since the searches proved fruitless, I decided to try and have one produced from a couple of images that I had found on the internet. We are both quite pleased with the results. (top image is what I had found on the net, bottom is what was eventually re-produced).

    Since the Body Shop Hasashi badges were so outstanding, I decided to pursue an M2 badge based on the M2 1001 and 1028 badges. The only difference was adding an "R" to them both - this is not an original idea of mine, but based on an M2 1028 owner in Japan who had had an "M2 1028R" badge designed. So I went through the process of scanning and measuring the original badges to try and achieve some thing with a almost authentic look to original M2 Incorporated badges. The original badges are made on sheet aluminum (open to corrosion). So I wanted to have the "R" types produced on stainless steel for durability. Unfortunately, the laser used for engraving them kept burning the stainless, so titanium was used instead. The results are M2 Incorporated "R" badges made of a durable high performance material.
