Owned my Griff for 18 months now, and today was the first day I'd driven it at night on rural countryroads....Blimey, I may as well have been driving with my eyes closed, or at the very least, holding a candle at arms length in front of me

My Tuscan II is fine at night, but then it does have the more up to date lighting

Has anyone amended their set up so that they can drive at night, safely, without changing the look of the car. And if so, what have you done?

Cheers!

I did the sportmotive upgrade. Bigger reflectors and H4 bulbs. Main beam is now suppled both from the pods and the usual place in the grill. The bigger reflectors also look better beneath the pod fairings. You could also install Philips Xtreme / Osram Nightbreaker bulbs further improvement.

The last 100 built griffs had 7" lamps fitted behind the covers, together with hid or led bulb conversion this will be the most upto date conversion keeping the car looking standard.

I went cheap option first with Osram 80% brighter bulbs which were a great improvement on the candles. In fact they have done me 8 years so far.
