Smashed driving lamp

[burriana500]

I seem to have hit something rather hard and my n/s driving lamp is looking a bit poorly. Can I get these as individual Cibie units or do I have to stump up for a pair?

Available individually but there seems to be a big difference in price depending on where you get them. Hopefully someone will be along in a minute with a good/cheap source.

Hold fire! I've got one brand new here, I paid Gatwick TVR £86 for it in March, didn't get to fit it before my little 'off'

Yours for £50 incl. postage!

BUGGER. I need one too... at least I think I do. Is it an MOT failure to have a cracked glass on the driving lamp. Light works OK, but the glass is cracked.

If it is... err... any-one else got one in their back pocket they want to flog ?!

Should be OK as long as the beam 'pattern' is OK. Seeing as these are essentially just spot lights and the 'pattern' is just a spot of light I expect you'll be OK. Down to the tester at the end of the day.

When I went for my MOT the headlamps were out of line, so I went home and had a go at adjusting them by guesswork. When I went for the retest the tester asked if I'd adjusted them - I said I'd done my best, how is it? He 'leant' on the car a bit and pointed out how my beams were now _just_ OK...
