Seem to have cracked a driving lamp frown

I have a vague recollection that they are no longer available - does anyone have one for sale, before I buy a pair of alternatives? - or know where I can get one?

(sorry for being lazy - trying to surf the web on the train isn't easy!)

If you have the older style that are NLA you can buy a pair of the newer ones from Clevor Trevor.

Appreciate I can buy a pair of newer ones... just wondered if someone else had been through that and had a single to sell.

Like you I am a bit lazy..but there is definitely a thread about the driving lamps and I recall they were Cibie. I still have the labels on my 1998 Griff driving lights...do you want me to check?

Thanks.

For that price, I may as well buy a pair of the replacement items and wait for someone else to break one...

Driving lights are just high beam.

If you upgrade the headlights to the later type, they have a double filament bulb - so you could wire them up to give four main beam lamps.

Del, I notice places sell new pods as well as the lamps - are they necessary?
