Chimaera Headlight

[trefor]

My driver's side headlight has been cracked by a stone and needs replacing - looking at it the unit looks like it should come from another car - should I got to a TVR stealer for mine, or source from somewhere else.

Also, how hard are they to fit? (1995 'proper grille' model). I can see that some masticing in place will be required - but what about the alignment?

I also noticed that I'm running 80/100 bulbs - I've always thought my lights were quite good, while everyone else seems to moan about them ... (I assume 55/80 is the standard fitment).

Any hints grately received.

Thanks for the feedback chaps. I'm travelling on business this week, so I won't get around to fiddling until the weekend.

I might take you up on the offer of the lens Incorrible - I'm in South Bucks though. Let me call a few places and see I can get one local for sensible money - otherwise I'll drop you a line.

I wonder if all Chimaera had 80/100 bulbs now 3 of us have found these installed?

david beer said: I would doubt they would be fitted as standard as they are not for road use!

Really? 80w/100w (or is it 100/80?) - are they too bright on dipped then? (Guessing the law says 55w or something like that?).
