Tribar headlamps? Look great and obtainable from ebaY
eBay item number:
251939667541
They do look fantastic but some have said the light pattern output is poor - not found that myself but worth a punt @ £50.

Maybe the reproduction Tri-Bars are better than the originals. My Gilbern had been fitted with Lucas originals in about 1985. They were the worst headlights I've had on any car.......

Dave, I agree the light scatter is the worse I have seen for many a day/night.

Thank you. In addition to the spare wheel on the rack, I've got a couple of minor appearance tweaks planned (full tonneau, door pockets, Wolf bonnet stays and possibly tri-bar headlights if MMC ever get them back in stock) but that's it. I plan to leave the running gear stock - at least for the moment  - famous last words.... Very nice indeed Bob but do you think some one has had a go at your brakes to cause the paint marks?

I’ve just ordered a set of the Wolfs bonnet stays, Cain said he will be manufacturing his next batch within the next 2 weeks, so if you get your order in soon you shouldn’t wait too long.

The two angled lines in the lens not being symmetrical would bug me

Agree about the angled lines - looks very odd and perhaps a trick of the camera lens? Not sure they look very "classic" with row of leds, but then again I have seen them fitted to Morgan 3 wheelers and they look good.
Must add however that we do not check for E markings on headlamps as part of the UK MOT test. There is nothing about it in the current inspection manual ie - no failure for being non-E marked.
There may well be something about it in the "construction and use" regulations which may well be the cause of some confusion?.
