Mike. Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 The adjustment screws and glass holders are missing. It might be easier looking to buy a new set, they do come up for sale periodically in the for sale section or e bay, styles vary from plastic to metal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Is it just those rear brackets you are after, or the whole lot including the rings that hold the lamps themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monaco Blue Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Nice Orient Blue coupe! There's somebody on the Facebook group selling 2 sets of twin round lights with all the fittings etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny D114BCW Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 There are different light types, are you after the metal backs as some lights didn't come with the metal backs, come just sat in the bezels on adjusters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Not all quads had the metal backing piece. Most are just a plastic moulded quad surround and this attaches to the car by the long bolts at either side like this set (you need to drill holes for these bolts) The metal frame ones look like this on the back and attach at the 4 corners using the same holes as the original lights. There are a few other versions of the quad lights that have been made over the years, some as production ones and some as home made specials like these fiberglass ones. So it really depends what the rears of the ones you bought look like. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driscoll180 Posted March 20, 2018 Author Share Posted March 20, 2018 Been looking for new globes and cant find anything online only in Germany, It will work but these headlights are for Continental Europe. So they dim the other way around. Only inner headlights are OK as it is high beam only. Mouse over image to zoom Have one to sell?

Ems Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Many aftermarket 5.75" light units will fit, you've only got to decide whether you want dipped beam with sidelight or ones with dip. main and sidelight 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike. Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 (edited) I have the quad lights with the metal casing and I have looked at replacing my sealed beam units, I have phoned these lads, very helpful, this is my choice I have not ordered them yet but I will. I was going to buy four 170110 with sidelights, for uk roads, I was going to wire them all up so as to have all four lights on with dip. I will delete my pictures in a day or two just to preserve my picture quota. Hope this helps. Edited March 22, 2018 by Mike. Picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Jaguar xj40, xjs, capri, bmw e30 3 series, some nissan van, all 5.75" will fit, try also valeo light, these are new, depending on the manta quad light, type, will will have problems with finding the correct adjusters, and light ring, that holds lens to frame, goodluck! A compete setup will be expensive, but could be worth it. Basically once they are set the shouldnt really need adjusted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike. Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 (edited) No problem at all, Here is the photos again. I have ordered and received four of these sealed beam units with sidelight and they seem spot on, arrived promptly and no breakages, definitely happy with them. Remember they will be slightly dearer as the catalog has 2015 prices. Edited April 10, 2018 by Mike. Edited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
