Grif 1996 Main Beam bulbs
Discussion
Hi All,
One of the main beam bulbs has gone. Getting it out was fairly easy, trying to find a replacement, no so easy.
In the picture, the light seems to be in a rubber housing. I've talked to Motaclan and I think i've just confused everything as it's definately not a H1 bulb.
Narrowed it down to a D1R Xenon which looks the same.

Does the bulb pull out of the black housing?
Also, this was the working light as the person before me used wingnuts this side and a normal tiny bolts the other side, so this was so much easier to remove to have a look.
I asked in Halfords and the guy said it needed a re-wiring???
Any thoughts/advice/help greatly appreciated.

Looks like a modification by a previous owner.
I would suggest 55W but you need to check the [terrible and undersized throughout TVR] wiring is in good order.
You can get the weatherproof connectors readily enough (ebay Superseal automotive connectors for one version) so cut them off and retain the rubber boots for re-sealing the back of the units. Then rewire the new lamps / bulbs through the rubber boot.

You would need to match the originals as a higher wattage may take the ballasts out.
The 4000k bit is the colour temp, see below for info.
I'm not sure on the legality of the conversion though so bare that in mind.
