Hi, a mate of mine owns a V8S I think its a 91 or 92 car, he needs to fit two new headlights for his next MOT could you let me know who makes these, and the best place to buy them from?

Secondly he has a speedo that seems to work for the first few mins of a drive, and then fail, having owned a few TVR's previously I know that gauges can be a little hit and miss, but this seems to follow a pattern, any thoughts on what might be causing the problem would be appreciated before he gets the speedo refurbed which I dont think is the problem.

Cheers in advance for your help

Headlights are from the old Mini.

Stafford Vehicle Components will do you a nice set of upgraded new H4 headlamps with a non-metallic bowl so they don't rust away for £46 the pair. Phone 01827 67714

Hi gents,
Just purchased a lower bonnet section to graft in with the driving lamp pods. Anyone know the best option or similar upgrade of lights for these?

Cheers in advance!

The original bottom driving lights fitted were Lucas Dx150 lights, best place to get them is Ebay I found.

Ring make fog and driving lamps which fit exactly. Halfords were selling them for a while.
