head light conversion

[yellacerby]

hi
i am looking at doing a sp6 headlight conversion on my cerby and was wondering if there is a compleate kit available anywhere.

[Malam]

Don't do it!!!!!!!!!!

[Brummmie]

I wouldnt mind doing mine too, as well as anthraciting my spiders, but it might ruin the originality and value

[Old Geezer]

My cerb had the head light convertion fitted when I got it.

I like the looks, but as good the later fully flared in and smoothed out.

BUT - the main beam is HID

Bloody hell they are bright!!

Ryan at SP Automotive near Chester does the moulds and i'm sure he could sort out the rest of the bits and pieces required. Not sure what his number is but if you want it let me know and i'll dig it out for you.

do it.

[Cerbdog]

don't listen to the beards... just do it!! The cerb should have had blended lights from the off, far more in keeping with the flowing lines of the car. Not a vertical candle holder at the front of each wing!

[gbbird]

No No No - keep it original. No one would do such a thing to an e type for example would they??

[Ireland]

I'd say don't do it also ..... but not to "preserve the purity of the Cerbera" or anything like that.

Mine had it done when I got it and it's proved to be an absolute pig to get the lights focused properly.

If this doesn't matter to you then go for it but if it does matter .....

Not so good for flashing - they take a few seconds to charge the flux capacitor - but after that...blinding

Also onced warmed up you can flick them on and off instantly. Hours of harmless retina-burning fun.

Take away the old man M.G look and get the conversion done!

IMHO, light coloured cars, especially yellow ones, dont suit the new style headlights.

Agreed it looks good on most colours, just not yellows

[Gazzab]

They just look like an after thought.
Look at the 911s from the 70s - those that have the later look and body kits etc are worth sod all now whilst the original ones are worth good money and rising.

Nothing wrong with the original look, or the new look, they just look different. But is it really worth spending £1500 for it?

I think it is suits some colours better than others. Mine is red and I did the conversion myself and think it looks much better for it. Think the white looks great with the single though.

[bobbins]

When I got mine it was on my list to get a headlight conversion but I've kind of warmed to the classic look. I've not ruled it out in the future but am sticking with the standard headlights for now cos there are more important things to spend money on - starting with shockers...

[Malam]

The headlight conversion looks like a halfords modification..lol..

[M3John]

Think very carfully about this one. I'd have to agree with what others have said on here already, it suits some colours better than others !

Stick with the origionals. You know it makes sense, just get a xenon upgrade for them !

[shake n bake]

it makes them look cross eyed! leave it as nature intended :-) its not so bad with spiders fitted, but the 16" and 17" wheels dont look flash enough to pull the look off.

The Tuscan style lights just look wrong, even half finished, as a personal thought, I reckon last generation Chimaera lights would look great (faired in type), I do have a picture of a race Cerbera with faired in lights and they look fab
