Head lamp rings and retainers.

At the tidying up stage and looking for these so we don't have to put the (c)rusty ones back on. Anyone got any available for a reasonable price?
 
Lol we were going to ask the same question today :)

Mainly as we would quite like to try and fit some of these to Smurf....Not sure if they will fit though...[?]

hello, Our van (Jessica) has mini halogen lights on which fit fine.You should be fine with mini chrome rings. Panky can probably confirm!

Do you know if there is a topic somewhere, or can you let us know how to convert to the halogen lights...

Cheers :D

its pretty much a straight swap cazz, there is 2 different types of connector, if you get the lights with wrong one then you just change the connector on the van loom :)

Sounds simple then lol :D

think so cazz - hard to tell whether they actually come with the bulbs or not though?

Had mine fitted while electrician gave everything the once over and he added a relay for them (as also recommended by Jules I think?)

Thanks all,. I looked at ebay once years ago and it worried the heck out of me....looks like I may have to bite the bullet and trust it
 
Don't worry about the bay - where would we be without it.
The rims are the same size but the Mini version has a hole in the underneath for a fixing screw, can't find the Commer ones at the mo' but from memory I thing they just push on. I don't think it will be a problem - you might just need to drill a hole in the carrier to take a self-tapper.

Aren't the Commer ones more rounded in profile as well [?]

im pretty sure that they are the same mart, as i found out a few years ago at a classic car show at the nec,that they were also the same as the mk 2 jaguar rims. i went to one stall to buy some which were listed as mk 2 jag rims which were £40.00 for the pair, then a man tapped me on my shoulder and wispered i my ear that they were used on many different vehicles including the minis. i went to another stall and found some for £18.00 which were mini ones. just goes to show how these things get marked up in price depending on vehicle;)

Can't find the Commer ones to compare just yet - I'll have another dig around tomorrow.
