Front Spotlights??

[zcar]

What are they?
Ive seen some Cibie spot light covers advertised for TVR's are these the ones?
What other motors were they fitted on?
Thanks

They're "Cibie Airport 35" on a wedge. rectangular.

Covers should be cheap enough, but I have to advise that they normally fit on the light by gripping it around the sides of the chrome rim, and i dont think there'll be enough room between the lamp and the fibreglass of the front dam on a Wedge.

HTH.

Thanks Ed, both the spotlights on this 390 are cracked and damaged. Will whip them out and see if they are knackered or if I can get away with a pair of replacement lenses.

Link above to supplier of Lights and covers.
Agree with previous reply - very tight fit into spoiler cutout. They may fit or may not. They fit on mine with a little mod in tightest area.
They are less than £10 pr although a pair recently sold on EBay for £41 - good old ebay.

Remember the way some cars are wired (later ones) these lights are the only headlight flash you have with headlights off.

They are Cibie Airpot friving lights and are still available in chrome or black finish.....

The new stock lenses appear similar to any fitted to all wedges of any age, however, the backs appear to come in two types. The earlier ones (maybe) have the cable exit through the centre and the new one's exit to one side through a grommet. It would be worth checking yours as to which they are otherwise you may need to drill holes through the spoiler to get clearance for the wires.

... or leave it in place and just replace the lens.

If you put some Sellotape Weatherproof tape on the lenses it protects them quite well from stones.
