looked on that website and £70 seems a bit steep for the back reflector, does any one know what the lights were previously fitted to -ie mini- etc before tvr used them for the chimeara? tried getting a bible off steve heath but there is no price quoted..

Apparently their TVR specific (according to my local Indie). Any Bosch (edit) agent will get one for you for around £35 plus vat. The part no is 1 305 314 930.
You could also try for a second hand one from a bodyshop that does the Tuscan style headlight upgrade.
I had to replace one of mine a few weeks back as it was not giving a good enough beam for the MOT. Not a job you want to do unless you have to, IMO.

I've converted my Chim to comply with continental standards and to replace the corroded reflectors, and the replacement parts that my local friendly TVR dealer shifted in my direction were generic boxed Bosch/AL items...

Just the information I was looking for.

My lens and reflector where full of muck. Cleaning the lens was easy, but then I tried to polish the reflector. Bad idea, the silver came off. Looks like my Chimera has a blood shot eye now.

rang those today and they are £34 plus vat but they don't deliver.
They gave me BOSCH's direct number who will then gave me brokers numbers for my area-BOSCH'S direct number is 01895878197.
I have been quoted £32 inc vat PLUS £10 BOSCH Delivery surcharge off my local dealer,ie all in £42.But these prices do differ-£60 from another so ring about!hope this helps.

Headlamps were originally used on an 80s Scania truck.

Jim, try Andrew Page Motor Factors. They are Bosch agents and have branches in Darlington and Durham.
