Ryan 99 Posted July 2, 2010 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: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yeti-dj 7 Posted July 2, 2010 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stufarri 98 3 Cars Posted July 2, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SurGie 54 Posted July 2, 2010 (edited) 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 ?

Daviewonder 533 3 Cars Posted July 2, 2010 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
McDude 33 Posted July 3, 2010 GSF still sell the Siem ones, about £28 each I think, loads of threads on here with part numbers too somewhere, do some searching. 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.

Alan77 78 1 Cars Posted July 3, 2010 I think these are the Ring halogen driving lights from Halfords. I've had a pair on my car before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
