Hi

At a meeting I saw a headlight conversion as below that I need to have cool. Where can I buy this conversion kit ?

Cheers

Dan

Never seen that type/style before. Can't help I'm afraid.

I have the Speed 6 style on mine but I guess with this it won't need a front end respray. Much more cost effective I guess.

Had the larger 7" lights fitted so as to keep the original general appearance, Massive improvement in visibility.

I hadn't noticed on the distance shots before but are your lower 'fog lights' now vents? Plus DRLs under the projectors? Nice.

Correct on both counts, the right hand vent is piped to direct air into the front of the dual feed cf airbox, cheers

Some of the TR7 guys are fitting 7" 'halo's' as well as dashboard LED's. They are especially popular abroad but slow to catch on here.. LED's in the rear as well.

Lights like this.

My finding is that the cones for double lights can still be supplied by Fibreon under www.damagedtvrs.co.uk

Yes, I’ve done it a couple of times and also fitted new lamp units.

I’m sure there is a detailed PH thread on this somewhere but basically you have to remove the cowling with the lamp unit through the front, after cutting through the Silkaflex from the outside and undoing some brackets on the inside via the removable panel in the wheel arch. Once removed you can disassemble/reassemble the combined unit.

Refitting and securing while new Silkaflex goes off is the fiddly bit. Once set you will need to take the car to a garage to set the dipped beams correctly, so no point refitting the removable panel in the wheel arch until that is done.

Sorry, dislike the twin headlamp conversion, doesn't suit the car at all - but each to their own.

In Switzerland such a conversion would clearly reduce the car's value. Originality is very important here.

How about in GB?

Went for the 7" Light upgrade , I have yet to try them . Went for LED bulbs (Brake lights and tail lights ) at rear, big improvement especially brake lights.

Please can someone post a picture from the side so I can see how far forward/back they sit and does the dip beam light up the pavements.
Thanks
