Can someone please tell me why a SINGLE trophy headlight is around £180? I want to change the ones on my 96F, but come on thats just rediculus. Yes I know there is a diy trophy light thingy but 1 im useless at that sort of thing and 2 ive only got one arm atm!

Why around £180? .... because some people are daft enough to pay that price :-? :silly:

Ned if I was a little closer I would pop around and paint it for you. It really is an easy...ish job if you follow the how to.

They do come up on ebay and can be reasonably priced, see these which are on now

this one or this pair

BTW where is your other arm Ned :-?

Yeah Ive seen those, the red ones are the wrong color so really no point in getting them and i would rather get a pair. My other arm is in a sling due to shoulder surgery yesterday

Best wishes on a speedy recovery Ned.

Just thinking out loud, even if you do get them of ebay you still need to fit them and if you're going to do that, limbs permitting, that is in fact the hardest part of the DIY Trophy lights job.

Be brave, you can do it, once you have two arms again. ;)

I don't know Ned, A pair of red trophy lights would certainly be different!

But seriously, give Jon Norris a call, he'll do your lights for you. He's reasonably local to you and very reasonable price-wise too. :yesnod:

Oh, and good luck on a swift recovery. :thumbsup:
