they are the exact same as svc ones. are they sva friendly? brake light in the middle and indicators on the outer ring


Steve Hignett - 15/2/09 at 03:42 PM

Yes they are mate, the above pic is of PaulMW's car that passed at Chadderton test station last year...

they look nice mate. would you go for indicators on outer ring and brake lights on inner circle or other way round?
do you know the price of the small bull nose head lights similar to those on the sdr vstorm and where they are from? i cant find any but would imagine they are expensive!

I don't, but if I were going to put headlights on that MNR myself, it would be an area that I wouldn't mnd spending a few extra pennies on if you know what I mean. (headlights are like wheels, they can look ok, or bad!)

Not sure re your question for the rear lenses, I would just get whatever you fancy, doesn't make much difference!

I would go for the smaller, round black Westfield type of lamps.

Just done a search for them and can't find an example on Westfield's online parts shop...

Edited to add this photo of the ones I mean!

thanks for your help. i found a car in the vortx section. (the oange one where he has put new eheels and modified arches) with the oval headlights and they look quite good!

You will need a red reflector each side as well


daniel mason - 15/2/09 at 04:04 PM

the one in the pic does not have one! can you buy these seperate? and are they expensive?

just get some cheap stick on reflectors and lose them after sva

i've got some of the svc rear lights waiting to fit, i went indicators outer, stop/tail inner.

the headlights on steve's pic look like the dominator ones i have fitted. russbost on here sells them, not sure how much as i got them as part of a group buy.
think they need a slight modification to get them through sva though http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=90113


ETA if you want to have a ride up to windermere and have a look at the lights i've got let me know
