The glass on one of the high beam lights has shattered on my '97 Griffith. Where would be the best place to get a replacement one if I live in Sweden? Are there any good webshops?

Thanks in advance,

You will have to bet the complete unit as this happend to me some 5 months ago I got mine for about 150.00 for the pair I think from Peninsula in Devon.
Look under LINK's on the Pistonheads home page and I am sure you will find most dealers would post them to you even to Sweden

The driving lights for a Griff are a sealed unit,
The ones of the 500 are a Cibie SC unit Valeo part number 082348.
you can get them from the Cibie UK Reps, Lewisham (020 8297 1439)

I got one last year it was about £40 + VAT + postage.

IIRC They are only held in by a big rubber band!

I recommend you then cover them in a high density impact resistant tape. Mine have been covered by something my specialist called "helicopter" tape since the last one was broken. This tape is often used by race teams to stop this sort of thing happening on the track. Not sure where you buy it, or what it's real name is, but if you can locate a local racing team they maybe able to help.

Second that, they are considered a consumable. The guy at Lewisham even knew the part number of the top of his head.

I now have Carbo Disks fitted, which seem to do the job judging buy the dents in them
