QUAD GRILL INNER SPOT LIGHTS

Been tryin to find a place that sells new inner spots on the quad grill as mine are now cloudy and look old. ive upgraded the outer headlights from gsf but they dont do the inner spots.

they have the mk2 inner spots does anyone know if these are the same dimensions as the mk1s i have in my grill???

thanks

pm dub76 ive gave him a set i had knocking around he may still have them mk2 ones are different i think

are they the clipper style grill lamps

As far as I'm aware they are that same across the board on headlights between a Mk1 and a Mk2 so they should fit perfectly mate.

Some of the aftermarket lamps on the evil bay claim to fit both Mk1 and Mk2 mate.

Tian :dontknow:

cheers for your reply i will ring gsf see if they could possible measure up the lamps for me.

you should come to our next meet, it's down in buxton on 24th feb.

there's quite a few of us leaving brighouse and then meeting up with other mk1's from other areas, such as wrexham and chester, there's a thread on it in the regional meets section, the one with 11 pages

wow thanks tian im on it.

john im in pontefract mate. me and 'pete and mel' are both from here i hav a 92 rivage he has a 93 clipper. we were on about tryin to get involved in something so will have a look. would love to see a load of mk1s in a convoy let alone be involved in one.

buxton derbyshire?

yes mate, derbyshire, we had a convoy of 9 mk1s at our first meet last week in huddersfield.

You can clean the mist away, nothing to loose and may save you a few quid.
Myn where very cloudy but results below.



take off front grill - two screws on top and a further two under the corner gromets.
Unclip from the inside and gently pull away, disconnect inner lights at this point.

Once you have the unit off gently straighten the three tabs holding the bulb holder to the reflector.
pictures at bottom to help. Be carefull not to break earth tab, which i nearly did on one.

Once you have got this away you can then clean the inside of the unit gently.

assemble is the reverse as they say.

pic showing holder removed so you can get better access to clean insides.

good job there thanks for the indepth description too. tell me….how did u get inside the light to clean the lense?
what did u use to clean them with as your have come up like new.

cant believe how expensive they are to buy

stick em in the dishwasher 8O or just use washing up liquid and a bit of time. got to do mine when it stops raining (and the other half is not in so i can bring more of my car inside)

just used a soft clean cloth to clean the inside, ie put in the light and work around lense. took my time and ensured I cleaned the full inside of the lense, easy to miss bits.

milky white before so does work.

am i missing something here? doesnt the light bulb fitting have to be out to fit ur fingers in to clean it? i dont have the smallest of hands maybe dishwasher is way forward for me

really impressed with how them lights hav come up. my new headlights dont look that good. my inners spots look shocking. before and after pic coming ur way i think

"am i missing something here? doesnt the light bulb fitting have to be out to fit ur fingers in to clean it? i dont have the smallest of hands "

not missing anything, thats spot on.

Once you remove the grill and disconnect the bulbs you then have access to the tabs on the inner spots. Straighten these and then you can pull off the bulb fitting, leaves you with a hole plenty big enough. Got another pic will post once photobucket lets me in.

will become more obvious when you have started.

yeh im completely with you mate. but not sure how well ill be able to clean into corners etc my hands are like a fully grown mountain gorillas *sobs*

cant wait to hav a go at this and save sum cash. cant afford the 60quid to replace them thru ebay and gsf hav discontinued them. booo

old mr beadle had a perfect sized hand for that job.

i'm gunna have to do that as money needs to to else where before i start bying new lights.

hope the weather's good for the weekend as meguires will be used in vast quantities.

 at pete.    u bad un

im guna bang um in dishwasher me. perfick

wat polish u on wi now then pete urs looked sparkling wen i saw it. i use mer. its decent to be honest.

and ive bought one of them sonic scrubbers for wheels as mine are a mare to get into nooks and crannys. its mint.
