Sidewinder Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Progress slowly continues on the Spartan.. when it arrived from Withams all the lights were smashed and rusted through so today I stripped out the side, tail and indicator lights ready for replacement. Now given that the correct CVRT light assemblies with glass lenses seem to be about £40 each, I'm looking at over £300 just to replace 8 light assemblies. However, the old units and their holes in the hull and brackets look very similar sizes to Series land rover lights, which are a much more respectable £3 each. I know they'd need fitting with 24v bulbs, but has anyone tried fitting these instead of the correct CVRT ones? Any problems/potential issues? There are much more important things requiring attention (brakes etc!) so I'm willing to live with appearances for the sake of functionality!

timbo Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Hi James Have often thought this and can see no reason why wouldnt work (with the bulbs changed of course!). At £3 a pop you could try it anyway - let us know how you get on...! Cheers Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
