IVA ok?

Evening all,

Just a quickie, are these IVA ok? And do they need to be mounted on the vertical or would a little off vertical be fine?

Thank,
Chris

As far as i know the only issue is that the screw fittings hole forms a sharp edge.
I believe only the fog light has to be verticle, the rest need to conform to visibility requirements.

We used these (from this seller) on Tim,s Challenger. No problem with SVA.
BUT they are absoloutley crap quality, I ended up Aralditing some of the bulbs in as the plastic holders are not up to the job. We'll buy landrover ones when the bulbs blow, probably work out cheaper in the longterm anyway.

Thats Steve Mcqueen and his Jaguar XKSS. Best car of all time, in my opinion any way.

I have similar lights on my car - but mine came from a local landrover dealer. Not original L-R, but a decent "other make".

I don't believe that you could use one as a fog light (presumably by putting a brighter bulb in). Real fog lights have an internal reflector, and are designed to take a bright bulb running continuously.

thos look like series land rover lamps; cheapest I could fine was £ 3 each.

ask if they have bulbs fitted.
