Ross Askham Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Hi Guys, I have a White Manta GTE 1985. I am considering putting the quad headlight conversion on it. Ive seen them on Ebay coming from Germany any thoughts on them/anyone had any experience with doing this? Or is it best to leave the standard lights and keep hunting for the small headlamp wipers? Is Ebay best place for parts? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 If from Germany, they won’t be for RHD and they will fail MOT as the beam pattern will be wrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sutty2006 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 The quads do come up occasionally but expect to pay a high price for them now. I’ve got a set in my unit that I had years ago, just need new lamps, but dare not sell them incase I ever need to replace mine! (Probably never will 🙄) If you do find a set, you may need to change a few wires around as the loom is different. I’m fairly certain that later GT exclusive models had them fitted with scotch locks from factory/dealer upgrades 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a whole set of new replacement headlights for around £50 (inc bulbs) from a rally lights specialist, the only thing missing was the lamp tape to secure them. I kept the old ones which weren’t too bad as back ups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh Bowers…. fecking useless they were when I went in. Managed to get two new inners but the outers…..? Not a chance. I’ll have to try and go in again when I’m not in work. They’re local to me. those ones look like they don’t have a side light hole either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
