Whilst balancing the appearance of side lights,brake lights i have found that you can remove the orange filter for the indicators. Then replace the bulb with an orange one and now we have a "modern" looking rear light cluster. By balancing the appearance i mean 4 side lights and four brake lights, with just a little mod-wise tweak!

mmmmmmm, sorry, a little too much afternoon sunshine for a photo shoot. When you all agree it is fab, it will be on a exchange basis. I will send to you a modified bulb assy, you will send to me your old assy, less your bulbs.

Hi David

I think you have some great ideas and some very exciting products but if i can offer some constructive feedback, I find your web site incredibly frustrating to use. It doesn't seem to work at all in Netscape and in IE5 it is still very slow.

Maybe a "less is more" approach would help in your web design. No offence intended but I would hate for your innovations to go un-noticed for the sake of a bit of simplification.

(Our very own Pistonheads.com and Peninsulauto.co.uk are, I think, good examples of simple clean layout.)


Yours, constructively


Marco

Gotta agree with that last post - needs to be simpler.

To my amazement, the rear orange filters just pull out, a little tugging required. Buy the orange equivalent bulb and put just a small foil cap on the glass just to hide a little.The wiring of the bulb setup is a little more involved, five components and a cut or two of the print(not pwb print!). It would have to be done on an exchange basis. Cost around £20 per pair.
The fronts will cost a g&t.Yesterday i should of been taking pics of the rears, had a g&t in the garden and peered through the bottom of the "tumbler". My god, ihave been searching every stockest to find a 75mm lens to replace the horid orange jobbies and here it was.Purchase yet more orange bulbs, same foil cap. Wrap a little tape around the original holder and poke into tumbler, adjust for focus and stand back and admire. Ok a little sealant is required, but really thats it.I can get you the "tumbler" and supply the bulbs, but i would get sloughtered once someone saw.

The removeable orange filter is only on some Cavalier tail lights (the smoked effect ones). Early and later Griffiths have the ordinary solid orange lenses that cannot be taken out.


You can also use Magic indicator bulbs that have more of a blue/silver tinge. We use these as an option on the Afterburner tail lights.
