They look good mate..Are you going for the LED plug and play headlight conversion..Like the CREE system?...be interesting to see the outcome...Don't go the HID or Xenon route as they have to have headlight washers fitted by law..And i don't mean fitted by a copper!..Also are you changing the indicator bulbs..Cheers...Ziga

[superwedge]

the law.i;am the lawdon;t yet, got some blue ones,or might try the other ones, got some for the back coming soon,

Likewise changed my front side lights to LED's last weekend. Very impressed with the brightness from them. Now toying with the idea of changing the rear lights and indicators also?

Have you read the MOT rules on HIDs? Last time I checked it said "The vehicle may have headlamp washers and self-levelling fitted and if so these must work"... it does NOT say the vehicle MUST have them fitted.

There's a lot of different interpretations of the new requirements. Given the performance leap of the latest LEDs, I'm not going to bother with even trying HIDs. Indeed, I gave my set to Jack V to tinker with.

If the Wedge is the same as my S or Tamora then you'll need a CF13 or CF14 LED relay for the indicators.

Also, you're better off with coloured LEDs rather than 'white' ones where a colour is required (amber or red for example).

Ah...I think i mixed up the may and must...As in.."The vehicle must have headlamp washers..(This being me) and self-levelling fitted..(My seats are fine) and if so these may work"...I did think at the time "How do they know its for a TVR".....

I don't think it's mandatory... Although production cars all seem to. I have hid in the Tuscan and no washers and they have been in there for years (all moted before my time)
