I tried to buy some cheap ones ( tagged Lucas from EBay) and ended up buying from Susan Miller and throwing away the cheap ones I bought. I think the problem is the adjusters and how the inner bowl attaches. The chrome rims also need a metal ridge to go over.
All the best

Thank you Terry, I was suspecting this kind of poor quality, what about the same from Moss, Limora, are they the same on the Spitfire ?
Thanks

I purchased headlamp bowls from Moss Motors when I restored the Sabra. Their bowls are made to accept both the spring catch as well as the ones that use a screw up from the bottom to secure the trim ring. They were very satisfactory.

Thank you guys
I just have give the order to SVC, quite the same price as Moss. But SVC allows payment via Paypal more easy from oversea.
I also took the twin wiring harness... I currently have something like 9.5 V at the bulb :cry:

I still have work to do on the car ... :roll:
