97 Cerbera (fiesta lights) easy job to replace? or does the fibreglass need to be worked on?

On my car the original lights are bonded in so you would have to cut fiberglass to change them.

Why you would want to is quite another question - personally I think those lights look hideous!

If we all loved the same things then life would be dull.... I just think they look dated.imo....

Am I going crazy, but the picture of the cerbera has 4 pods in the cluster, but the quad conversion has 3 as per their website photo

So where are those rear lights from(1st link) and who sells them?

Also are all the old cerbera with fiesta cluster fibreglassed in? I thought they were just screwed in with 3 screws...

I have same rear arrangement and sourced new surrounds from Fibreon - they do the 3 and 4 light surrounds - http://www.damagedtvrs.co.uk/products/parts/12

AFAIA they are bonded in.

£50ish each (add delivery charge).

I didn't install, the guys doing the re-psray did....and a load more besides!

I guess you then had to source all the bulbs etc etc?

No mine already had the afterburners but the surrounds were knackered.

Im deff not an expert in anything TVR, I don't know the internal aperture sizes of the surrounds etc, but these look v similar and you can mix'n'match.

and I guess a little more googling would come back with more matches.

Central TVR offer the conversion, so they would almost certainly know which lamps to buy and possibly sell them to you as a set.

Had a look at doin' this many moons ago (before they became as common as muck on all cars) I was quoted £270 then (9 years ago) so didn't get around to doin' it.

Am so glad that I didn't now - Would have died seeing Black Beauty try to look like an Audi

Don't you mean Vauxhall

The lights were originally from a firm in Essex, they made the last complete set they had for me but i know they still have the moulds.

I agree Ropps. The car in your link is mine (SEZ 4185). The 4 aperture Afterburners were fitted to the car when I bought it and I love them.

If I wanted early Cerbera rear lights I would have bought a Mk IV Fiesta.....

If I wanted later Cerbera rear lights I would have bought an army Land Rover/Centurion tank/Sanky trailer/Bedford MK/Scammell Commander etc

Each to their own and all that, but I find the afterburners the sort of modification a 19 year old yoof might make.

Agree. Plenty of VWs around here 2 mm off the ground with these lights and drivers with baseball caps back to front. If they don't know how to dress themselves, what hope is there?
I'll stick with my Fiesta bits just like Aston did with their DB7s using Mazda rear clusters...

[cerdad]

The reason i changed them was safety, my mates chimera was almost invisible in the dark and i did not fancy being rear ended with 65 litres of super unleaded not far away ,plus its only a 10 minute job to revert back with no damage to the car.

Standard are nice those afterburners are hideous as perviously stated! I can't see why you wouldn't be able to see the standard ones perfectly adequately they have large reflecting areas and i find mine more than adequate, at worst just fit some led bulbs which are easy and cheap to sort?
