Hi,

Does anyone (maybe Mr Zertec?) know what unit's TVR use for their headlights in the latest Tuscans/Cerberas etc? The little fish-eye jobbies.

Want to get a set to play with for a custom light conversion on a project car, and having trouble finding any information on them.

Could try giving TVRbodyshop a call, they do conversion kits for TVR’s so may be able to supply the parts by themselves.

I think they're the same as the conversions (like mine)

In which case they are standard Hella ones (although predictably I don't have the part number)

TVR bodyshop (who do the conversions) would be able to help

I've been trying to get stuff from Zertec for over a year now, don't expect a quick response

I have Zertec lights on the Griff, and they are Hella units. I notice that the same units are popular on modern coaches, and I have seen the LED rear units, also hella, used in the "afterburners" used on a camper van!

I have a conversion onmy 400SE what Peninsula did for me.
It uses the same lights as fitted to the conversions and the latest cars.

Give them a call.
They converted my origional square lamps to twin side, dipped and mainbeam setup.

works 100% better than the old Cibie H4's

they are in the demon tweeks catalogue!!!

standard hella units, halogen and gas discharge.

they're circular with a four point cross fitting behind.

but there MUST be somewhere cheaper than demon sharks!!!

check hella distributor or website
