Has anyone any sensible comments/suggestions/ economical way to replace or improve the headlight assembly on my Chim ?
I think the candles on mine have burt out and rotted away !
Can they simply be replaced with one piece H4 unit, obviously it will have to be aligned before bonding in, just wondered why TVR split the unit reflector and lense?

Invest in a HID conversion kit.

I got a H1 kit for than £50 off ebay for me and so far it all looks so easy and a big improvements - although I've only installed one side.
Come over to the Dark Side and you'll find some details, but it will all be documented on TheGriffithPages shortly.

What, ..the whole light assembly ? i was thinking of pushing in a H4 unit from a mini for a quick fix. but i think the angle will be incorrect.
