DanC Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Hi, I recently come into possession of a 73 pi, all I know is it’s apparently a survivor so wish to keep it as standard or original as possible. I am a novice so please bear with me. So was looking at getting my light rims rechromed, but managed to find some replacements online. Now I’ve opened them up it looks like the light bowls are in need of replacement (look tatty) but they show pilot bulb lights that appear not to have been used(blanked on one and taped over in other). So currently looking to replace with front bowls with no pilot light hole, just wondering if this was standard? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yarm 783 Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Hi Dan, is the pilot hole not just where the cables come into the bowl before they connect to the bulb, there is usually a grommet there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DanC Posted August 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 There’s the main hole for the bulb and a smaller one below, I will get a picture Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yarm 783 Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Ah, I see what you mean, I don’t know As I have not seen a reflector unit like that, but I am sure somebody on here will...good luck, I’m sure an answer will come! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Looks like a replacement Lucas British Pre Focus (BPF) unit with an halogen bulb conversion. What does the front of the lens look like? TR6 would not have had a pilot lamp hole in the reflector as original. (The small hole is for a headlamp mounted sidelamp/pilot lamp, same arrangement as a classic mini in 1965 would have had.) Is the car originally UK delivered and RHD or is the car LHD, if so what market was it delivered to? Cheers Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DanC Posted August 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Apparently these from rimmer bros are the correct ones but there are so many. Thanks all for responses and patience Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Yarm 783 Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Have a trawl through the search bar, nots of posts about the best ones, cities, wipac, etc. but those one holed h4 wonders are the same as mine, so correct I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
