Spot lights £80 each!!!

[laz11]

My spot lights are both cracked and I have been told the Griff will not pass MOT, so need some new ones, quoted at £80 each!! Just wondering if anyone has any ideas where I might get them cheaper.

Cheers

Mine passed its MOT last year with one cracked, was not even mentioned by the tester, go for the test and see what happens, you can always fix them if its brought up. They are around £75 each I'm affraid.....unless anyone knows better. You can get some plastic covers for around a tenner each which will help stop them breaking in the future, they were being sold in the PH classifieds a while back

good luck

No help on the replacement front, but mine have a wire mesh protector on them to stop stones, put on I believe by the previous owner. Don't know where he got them from either, but you can see them in this picture: -

Touch wood no broken glass yet, although the mesh has now started to rust slightly. Nothing a good wire-brush won't sort when I can be bothered though...

Mines just passed the MoT test with both cracked.
Your local Valeo (Cibie) dealer should be able to help if you quote that part No (thanks Mark), but you might not get them that cheap elsewhere if they decide to charge you full retail price. Try going in wearing your oil-stained overalls.

Or you could try Pyramid Plastics and ask for a pair of 5.5" clear headlight covers.

Thank you all....I reckon I will try my luck with the friendly MOT man first. No dirty overalls I'm afraid...leave that to the professionals?!!
