The favourites are the tractor ones in black plastic, available at shows for £30 a pair.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I guess they are 5.3/4" units; do they come complete with the light units; whats the mounting arrangement like, no nasty edges to fail SVA.

There is a big bolt on the stem of the light body,it can easily be covered or make the bracket you bolt them too hide the nut.

some come with wiring and halogens and some dont,best ask before you buy.

I know premier wiring products had a load of them that sold real fast at the shows this year,and were £25 a pair.

Mine passed with them fitted 3 years ago. They dip to the wrong side but you only have to turn the lens a bit off vertical to fix it. They forgot to tell me that when I bought them but I rang them up and they were very helpful.

Are they just dipped and main beam or do they include sidelights?





7 out of 10 people suffer with hemorrhoids. Does that mean the other 3 enjoy them?
