My LED's arrived today!

Very apprehensive about installing them, now that I have them....I am hopeless!

One more thing, I was going to get Central TVR to change the headlights to HIDs, but would these be a better long-term solution?:

I was about to order them, but want to make doubly sure they'll fit....

is that 900 per pair?

I've seen others somewhere which looked IMHO "better"

No, £450 inclusive - but I am stone cold sure that if another outlet advertised them as suitable for TVR's, they'd be selling at £450 each...

Was it the jeep ones?



There was a thread on here about them recently.

I faked up a picture of a Sag with those style lights installed and they looked very good as it was
something I was considering a while back when looking at redesigning the Sag light cluster.

Chris I've got HID's headlights, cost about £120 plus fitting, this included the lights, relay, loom and plugs, subsequently I had LED sidelights fitted, both work fine, never had an MOT issue and a lot cheaper than your alternative.

Even if it's only a temporary fit it's not a lot of money especially when you consider what you have/are going to spend on other upgrades wink

Which light you referring to Alex?

I can't remember where I got the link for the lights I linked to, am sure it was off this forum (otherwise I wouldn't have thought about them...)

I just didn't want to spend £450 and then realise afterwards that they don't fit...

Has anyone got any links to these lights that fit the Tamora, other than the link I posted?

I figure that, if the smaller lights are all LED, why not do the main headlights, instead of the halfway-house HID's..

Crikey they are a bit expensive. £40 will get you a half decent H4 bi-xeon kit and be much easier to install. I guess it depends if you want to change the look as well as improve forward lighting?

Why not try the HID's and put the money you 'save' to one side. If they don't meet your expectation either aesthetically or functionally its only cost £40. If they do, happy days and you have £400+ say towards an ACT air box?

For me personally, those headlights don't do anything but it all comes down to personal choice, some say the ACT air box is a waste of £1000 but for me I think its the dogs danglies

I tend to agree - £450 plus P&P is hard to swallow for headlights. However - I really like that carbon airbox, and no matter how many times I try to talk myself out of it, thinking it's a huge waste of money, I still want it - and it may help when I have the 4.3 upgrade and re-mapped - I may also need a pair of sports cats to get the engine as perfect as possible - but that's for another future thread...). Critically, I don't feel the same with the head lights.
