Slimslow Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Could someone tell me what options are open with regard to running small front head lights? I have put it in this section as those of you that race will be the ones trying to cut down the drag factor! I know the standard ones are 5", but I have seen a few pictures of what look like motorbike head lights. I know they won't be legal but which ones fit, at what cost and from where? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregh Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 On a Race Car is Born he said smaller lights could knock 2 sec a lap off his time! I've seen people with smaller ones that use them on the road, so would be interested in road legal ones myself. regards, greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 It probably makes more of a difference in circuit racing than sprints and hills But the small jobbies are much easier for when removing nosecone and if you get the black ones you don't have that blinding reflection when the sun shines You need the ones with a sidelight fitted that do (just) pass an MOT Although I wouldn't recommend them if you drive a lot at night MP in Swansea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Billsberry Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 I have gone thro' 2 MOT's with out any problems!! and as for using them at night I don't find the lights a problem. I can see very well with them...mind you the amount of carrots I get delivered and eat during a week I don't need any lights I can literally see in the dark Buzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott beeland Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 Small lights from M&P are a damn site better at night than the factory 5 1/2's or whatever they are . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasamdy Posted October 2, 2003 Share Posted October 2, 2003 the lights you are after are from M+P in Swansea, part number is 500-391 and you will need two at £30 each. Cheers Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Everall Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Thanks. I rang them and was told that these do not have sidelights fitted! Anyone confirm or advise? Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVE O Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Yes I was told that they are fitted with s/lights. Scott, planning to do a couple of trackdays to get used to the car- They all seem to want car in mot spec though- hence the lights! Dave O.
