Pux,

;-)

It was a long time ago now (but Piglet is still on the site .. prototype number 2!) - I think it was around a grand. The good news, for you, is that it is STILL in perfect condition.....very very hard wearing. You might have seen some of Rays other work ... like his bobbed Disco with the orange cage???

What lights are on piglets roof?

The center two look like my rear worklights.

Right...let's get this straight from the start - I do not buy expensive lights ;-)

They are el-cheapo £5 a pair lights, and the front spots (on the a-bar) are £2.50 a pair. All of them are fitted with 55watt halogens.

I see no point in putting expensive (read over £5 each) lights on the front of Piglet that will broken when laning/playing.

They light up just as much as I want, and if the reflectors dull after a few years...I can get some more :-)

Cheap as chips :-) :)

Totally agree, all mine are cheapo's from the local Car show at Tatton Park in the summer months. I think mine were 5 quid for 2x inc bulbs :)

Im was more curious to the type of beam pattern :)  Ill start a new thread........

I was thinking that only last night on the way back in the dark - with a glare on my screen!! :)

Might have to look into the practicalities of moving mine, and providing a set of 'blinds' to prevent the immediate glare ...
