Hi, Can anyone tell me where I can buy a passenger side lens, mine has got Autopal H4 on it. It doesnt seem the same as on the alternative parts list.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Sean,

Thought you'd gone to ground. Alot of threads on this are on the search page, but one is here which gives the appropriate links.

I would suggest rather than look for a lens just replace the pair with an uprated set..

Cheers Chaps,

Im still about Mark (hope your good), car goes on the road next month.

Would these fit? ebay item No 280275829081

Or should I go for the up rated ones - briefly reading someone had a smell of wires melting.

Thanks for the quick relies

When I had my S I replaced the headlights with Mini Crystal halogen lamps - much better light with minimal work.

Will see if I can find the link..

ETA - crystal halogen lamps from here - http://www.minitrailers.com/

I fitted these with the upgraded bulbs, same current consumption as standard so no burning wires

Sean,

If car is back on the road are you going to do the Castle Coombe thing with the Wiltshire TVRCC the day before SCH? I itend to as I can't make SCH due to flights to the states and will convoy to the SC campsite to meet those who are camping before driving back early Sunday to catch my flight.

Hi Mark, not really sure whats happening yet, I intend to go to camping at SCH, so I will be about.

A for the lights, I purchased a Mini upgrade set from my Autoquip £32.60 & they are exactly the same as my lights, so I know have a spare lamp for the next incident.

Thanks for all the help

Regards Sean
