Alan Cutler (Adge) - Dorset AO Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 (edited) @Rednop1 Fitted these 5 years ago. Cost £65.79 from EBay, unsurprisingly no longer listed! No manufacturers name on them. Sidelight is between the two lower circular lenses. No problems at MOT, checked on beam setting device and pass ok, garage is thorough but Westfield friendly.

AndrewBClarke Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Fitted these again from flea bay. No problem with mot. Significantly better than the previous halogen lights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigfoot Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 I have the same as GaryD1971, past the MOT last month, no problems 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosKev Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Not a fan of the LED ones like above with the smaller round lenses inside myself,just look too modern/put of place on a seven imo😏 These work well,but don't have a side light. DRL could do with a bit bigger, but think they suit a seven type car much better 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosKev Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 These are similar, but not exactly the same https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304860958864?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=nbUfGDNkSn2&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=JyIqrkhzQTq&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Labrat Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 These were from Original Cafe Racer, but I think similar are now on Ebay at ~£26 each. No problems so far, went through MOT fine. Centre bar is DRL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickRack Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 I’ve fitted these off eBay but come with no side light - I’ve now brought the control board from Powerful UK Ltd (also on eBay) - DRL’s now fire up on engine startup & remain on for 30 secs after switch off - the Orange LED’s are wired to existing front indicator wiring (not thru control board) so nosecone pod indicator & LED’s work together. When switching on side lights, this drops supply voltage to DRL to 5.5V (which is quite dim!) but does create a sidelight as the the DRL is dipped & main beam work fine. In comparison to original candle lamps, these are great in South Staffs villages. Haven’t yet hard wired (current just use DRL as sidelight) & haven’t taken through MOT yet (Jan 24).

Labrat Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 No. I have wired the DRL to be a side light when stopped but I always drive with dipped beam on anyway as the car is so dark and low. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
