Cibie front spot lights?

[Fat Old Sun]

First trip out in the new Griff and I hear a bang...get home to see the driver side Cibie has taken a direct hit.

Can anyone recommend a replacement?

How can these these lights be protected from future possible chips?

Thanks!

Hi. I fitted some carbo discs to my Griff many years ago. Get them from the TVR Car club office.

I had cracked original Cibie ones on my Griff when I bought it, unfortunately. I replaced then with some very cheap ones from Bowers. Perhaps not the highest quality but they've been on the car over 4 years and 5k miles, although I hardly ever drive at night these days:

If I remember correctly, they were cheaper from their eBay shop than their own website, and that was in the days you paid a seller fee.

I did have to file a little off the earth connection terminals because they were a bit wider than the OE.

Thanks for that!...

There seem to be quite a few different covers you can put over these lights to protect them from future chips, its a matter of finding some the right size!...

The connections on the back of the lamps from Bowers were in a different position to the OE, so the water-resistant rubber cover couldn't be re-used. If you want to drive in the rain, you may need to improvise protection to the connections.
