pic of blended rear light conversion

[tiny]

I recently had tvrbodyshop's round blended rear light conversion done on my Griff 500 together with the VW mirrors mod (fitted by Peninisular).I was vey pleased with both the service and the quality of work done by both Jason and Richard's teams and am now considering a front headlight upgrade.As I want to keep a traditional look to the car so I will probably go for the last 100 bigger headlight mod coupled with removing the driving lights and replacing them with a leven mesh grill + small no plate.I have (hopefully as it's my first time! ) posted a pic of the rear light mod.It's all in the eye of the beholder I know!

Of course if you do that you will have no main-beam headlights! Not a good idea and probably not what you had in mind? Rich...

Rich
Could be a problem! - I was told the last units had a combined dip/main aka Chim - more research required methinks!

[RichB]

Oh maybe I'm wrong then, I just assumed they were a larger diameter which fits the pod better? R...

[tiny]

Rich - will let you know what I find out

[simpo one]

I read somewhere that the Griff had the main beam placed separately because there were fears of the unit overheating under the perspex fairing.

[RichB]

Yes that's the urban myth, not sure myself However what Tiny needs to know is; are the new larger diameter lamp units fitted to the LE100 Griffiths still a single filament with the separate lamps being the main beams or are they like the Chimaera's with a double filament bulb in one unit doing both dip and main beam and I guess the lower lamps being auxiliary? Rich...

[simpo one]

If the urban myth is true then the answer will be no, surely... I think we need somone with an SE to fill us in.

Tiny - think this blended version looks absolutely the biz, definitely an improvement on the original spec & a much cleaner look than the unblended version IMO. I will be saving up my pennies hard for the same...thanx for the post!

Tiny...what happened GM run out of rear light clusters?

I like the lights as standard but must admit that you have had a nice job done..."Spotty Arse!"

[snorky]

what's the VW mirors mod ? any pics - easy to fit ? ??

[No 1]

I've got an LE and can confirm that the main headlight does indeed contain main beam as well as dip, aren't they all like that then, .

I've got the new rear lights and I must say, I do think that they look better blended. Might get mine done...
