Hella dipped beam lamps
Discussion
OK, I know the parts wiki mentions Camberley Auto Factors, but just a heads-up for anyone looking to buy a new unit.
I was having my Tuscan MOT'd a few weeks ago and in a quick check around all the lights noticed that the driver's side dipped unit had picked up a pretty big stone and shattered the glass. Was concerned that it would be an MOT fail...but put some helicopter tape over the cracks, and it didn't get a mention.
I googled Camberley, and it came up with Andrew Page. Looks like they have taken over the Cambeley franchise. When I enquired over the 'phone (part no. in wiki is correct), was advised I could get a new 91mm unit from Hella, ready to pick up the next day for £67 inc vat. I checked the box whilst at the counter - all good and they had chucked in 3 new adjusters...Compare that price to some of the TVR specialist prices!
Also to folk who often post on here regarding Continental touring - the lamps have 3 screws on the mounting ring (for the adjusters) which allow you to rotate the glass/lens assembly to change the dip pattern!
