What Driving Lamps Are These?

[Ryan 99]

Do these look like the original driving lamps?

 

 

 

They've got plastic bodies and a (rusty) metal surround on the front, and judging by their condition (especially the one not pictured) have been on the car for a very long time.

 

It's just that all the 205 pictures I can find seem to have lamps more like these:

hello, neither are original driving lights but the bottom ones, the denji's, are closest, the originals were made by Seims and fairly hard to get.

 

hope this helps

I had these on my CTI when I bought it. They are a lot smaller that the original lamps and look awful too.

 

GSF still sell the Siem ones, about £28 each I think, loads of threads on here with part numbers too somewhere, do some searching.

What real difference does it make as long as they look right when fitted in the valance hole ?

 

Unless people want it for concourse reasons, where did you get that from Daviewonder ?

 

Cheers.

 

EDIT> Like THIS for instance ?

I got them off ebay about 18 months ago, brand new in boxes, twenty odd quid iirc. Still not fitted them though Original part number is LAA 140.

GSF don't stock anymore - I tried to get some a month or two ago and they had nothing left.

 

Autofive stock the Bosch parts - good kit, better than the Denjis which go rusty quickly.

Denji beam pattern is bad and completely different to the Seim ones.

They look like 405 driving lights

I think these are the Ring halogen driving lights from Halfords. I've had a pair on my car before.

There's some genuine ones on eBay at the moment, not cheap though
