The Yorkshire Inquisition Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 I must be thick - but which one of the various SVC bits are you suggesting?

Stationary M25 Traveller Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Scroll down the page - selection of 7" lens/reflector units to choose from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yorkshire Inquisition Posted June 24, 2009 Author Share Posted June 24, 2009 Any experience of the Wipac 7" freeform - anyone got them? Do you have to do a major rewire?

Stationary M25 Traveller Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 No wiring to the lens/reflector, just unplug the connector from the back of the old bulb, unclip the bulb, fit new and plug connector on to new bulb ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Sewell Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 or 082439: Cibie H180 H4 7" Headlight with Sidelight, Right Hand Drive from http://www.motoscope.co.uk/lighting.htm These are the original equipment and I still like them.

Bricol Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I've got a couple of good original lenses with bulbs - mail me if you are anywhere near Skipton and want to come and take a look and offer me loads of money. I have the Wipac Freeform lenses fitted to mine - work well and look . . . strange . . . if you want to come and look . . . Can I suggest Paddock Land Rover spares as an alternative (cheaper) source? My internet access here at home is currently on a par with a really bad day with a really slow dial up modem on a really bad line, so you'll have to do your own googling - but 7" lamp with sidelamps for RHD - think I got change from £40 for the pair inc. delivery.

mav Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Wipac are std fitment. Should be able to get them at your local motor factor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Day Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Wipac may be standard fitment now but back in 1994 my car was supplied with the Cibie units. Not too sure whether CC still stock them but I bought a replacement a few years ago. Ask Darren? I agree with Graham & much prefer them over other units.

mav Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 The fitment we are talking about is to a CSR, so Cibie is irrelevant to this discussion. The car was designed and fitted with WIPAC units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MADMALC Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Are you sorted? Could help with fitting, included in the price. Lots of love S7MAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yorkshire Inquisition Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Well I'm confused Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to reply Spoke to CC who said it was a Wipac S6010 that was needed - but Wipacs own web site lists it as a plastic lens - and mine is 100% glass MADMALC - as you can tell - I'm still not sorted, but really not sure which way to go - All that I read says the std lamps are crap in the dark - so do I upgrade them - if so what to - or do I just buy an identical single to what I already have and upgrade the bulbs.................? If only I had gone on that decisiveness course - but at the time, couldn't decide if I needed to... Even less people where expecting the Yorkshire Inquisition - By Eke!

The Yorkshire Inquisition Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 I should also say 2 things 1 - sorry not to have replied Yesterday - but was no where near PC 2 - As Mav says - this is for an 06/07 CSR - I don't know how much diffrence this makes - as when it comes to 7 knowledge - I'm still a knuckle scrapper Even less people where expecting the Yorkshire Inquisition - By Eke!

The Yorkshire Inquisition Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 So in the end I decided to buy the Wipac freeform units that are an alternative to the originals..... Now they are fitted - a couple of observations Having plastic lenses will hopefully make them more break resistant, it also makes them 120g lighter per unit. I bought some phillips H4 xtreme bulbs from powerbulb at the same time, - and whilst not being as good as my tin top ( which has xenon lights ) they are much better than original. S-V-C are/were offering a pair of these lenses for £65 + £7 postage A local supplier to me - suggested by someone on this forum - supplied at £16 and a few pennies each. So with the upgraded bulbs it still came in at about £55 all in - thats about £40 saving on S-V-C's price. Someone there needs to resharpen thier pencil when it comes to pricing...........

Bricol Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Might be more break resistant, but now I've run with mine for a while (commuting car for the last quite a while), they do seem to scratch easily. Bri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
