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....... innocent

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

Very nice indeed Bob but do you think some one has had a go at your brakes to cause the paint marks?

Stafford Vehicle Components have some well priced Tribars

Stuart (Scratched) has them fitted to his Mog and jolly nice they look too

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

Me too, and last time I looked closely at a pair they are not 'E' marked so should be an instant MOT fail

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?.
