Thanks Stuart, they look pretty good too. Lots to choose from now.

Thanks, have borrowed one. Got some help to finish the first one, see pic. Now I have a bit more knowledge, I hope the second one will be a bit more straight forward. Just waiting for clear lenses from Redline, and the job will be done. The bracket has not changed, but the new light sits much lower, so glad I did not change them. The carbon light and indicator housing look great

Thanks, have seen those and was not sure so good to know they are ok.

Thanks John, I might think about this easier option for the second light, but as the lights come pre-wired, I thought it would be easier to not mess with my shiny new lights. However what you suggest may certainly be easier! Don't have a tester but will see what I can borrow.

So here is today's, beginners question relating to my bloody headlight switch over. It has taken bloody hours, because the wiring is not as I bloody expected it to bloody be, and I have some questions, hope you can bloody help! ( I will calm down soon, but two hours to achieve very little is annoying) On the plus side, I now have one light off, and holding the new smaller carbon effect light in place does look cosmic, but just not looking forward to trying to get it all to work again... Questions: 1. I have a bodywork mounted side indicator. From this are a green and brown wire. The green goes straight into the main connector, the brown was connected to the black wire from the headlight, where it exited the headlight mounting, turning them both into one black wire that went straight into the main connector. Is this the correct way to do it, or is there a better way? If I have to do it in the same way, I now need to source some connectors and maybe some wires to do this, from somewhere. It just looks like an odd set up. 2. When disconnecting the light from the mount, the indicator had a green and black wire coming out of it. The green runs through the mounting into the main connector. Easy. The black however was just an earth, that ran up into the old headlight. This meant I had to dismantle the old headlight completely to get the black wire out so I could take the whole thing off the car and it was a bloody handful. Again, this seems odd, and I don't really want to be dismantling the new headlights to do it in the same way as it will probably ruin them. Any advice on this in particular would be great, as I need another solution. Thanks in anticipation of your help. Hopefully, this will be the last issue on this job.

Sounds good, thanks. Didn't want to waste money on something that is not up to the job.

Any advice on the best options for car covers? I only need an indoor one for the garage for the winter months, and there seems to be a number of options and price ranges. I would pay up to £150 for one that does the job well, but would prefer to pay less! Thanks

Thanks John, will look into it.

Thanks Jonathan. Would need to source crimpers and pins in that case! Suppose redline could help me. on the wires, I have pics of the connector before I did anything, and think I have identified all for the new lamp.

By go back, I mean to where I bought them from!

I have a new problem, having carefully extracted my first wire from the connector, I foolishly assumed the new wires and contacts would be the same, but they are different. Maybe my beginners enthusiasm to assume this would be straightforward... pics of current and new below. Do I change the connector on the new wires (is this possible), or do the headlights have to go back?

Thank you

I am about to change my headlights over, and want to connect the new wiring. The wires are connected to a black connector, and neither the wires or the connector will separate easily, so before I mess it up, my beginners question, is, do I need to separate the two halves of the connector to detach the wires, or do the wires, come out without doing this? I have included a picture to show what I am talking about. Thanks

The brackets from Tom were not quite what I was looking for. Does anyone else have any suggestions about where these can be sourced?

Ok, if you are sure they will fit

Struggling to find lowered headlight brackets for an imperial S3 chassis, 2002. Can anyone offer any suggestions?

Just call redline, they were very helpful for me, as I bought a new switch recently.

I toasted my fan switch at Cadwell, and just called redline who sent me a new one. Swapped over, bled the system thoroughly to get the air pocket out, and all fine again. Pretty straightforward.

Ok, will do, thanks. Does the wiring from the headlight to the car come with the light? I assumed I would rewire the existing wires into the new lights? Or do I feed new wires from the lights through the car to wherever they connect?

Thanks Nick

Hi, I want to change my headlights from 7" to the smaller size 5" lights. Any recommendations on what to buy, or pitfalls of headlight replacement before I get started? Thanks!

I have a Craft jacket, it is very thin but warm enough and windproof, and great quality. Perfect for the 7

Thanks to whoever it was who helped me out when my car sprung a coolant leak, I was too busy stopping the leak to properly introduce myself.

I have just bought the Pitking mirrors from demon tweaks, and I am very happy with them.
