I have recently bought a Tamora fitted with a T350 front end. The headlights are very poor, can anyone recommend upgraded bulbs and the type required? Thanks.

Thanks, I gather changing the bulbs is a bit of a fiddle (as it is on my Chimaera) do you remember which model of bulb you needed - H7, H4 etc? Did you change both dipped and main beam?

I've installed HID with5k bulbs (produce white light instead of the chav blue you see on the tacky Subaru impratza's) the difference is night and day. They cost me £55 off ebay in 2011 they're plug and play and easy to install and never had an issue. The lights are on every time I use the car.

+1 for the Osrams. Just the normal wattage. Night and day improvement over standard fare.

Thanks guys, did you just change the main beam or dipped too? Are both dipped and main beam H7?

Can anyone confirm exactly which ones I'd need to order? My car doesn't have a handbook so I'm in the dark (excuse the pun smile)

If I was you, I would contact the people who done the conversion and ask then just to be sure you get the right ones, they might have changed the lights you never know

Chris just ring one of the TVR dealers and ask what they are! They are standard 350 lights and they'll give you the info you need...they'll be H7 if they're the usual hella type

Thanks, I did just that! They weren't too sure themselves, agreed that at least one pair of lights are H7 but weren't too sure about the other. Anyway, I've ordered 4 Osram H7 Nightbreaker Plus bulbs and hopefully they'll all fit and transform the car at night...
