Headlight Upgrade Kit
TMH usually has several development projects running, each in various stages of completion.
Naturally, we're a little coy about telling our customers too much too soon - just in case things
don't pan out the way we hope they will. But one project that is rapidly coming to fruition is
our new QuadView™ headlamp kit.
You probably know that new headlights to the original Montecarlo pattern are unobtainable nowadays,
so if your reflectors go dull or your lenses get broken you'll have a real problem on your hands.
At one time we used to recondition old headlight units by fitting new reflectors, but that didn't
solve the problem of holed, cracked or broken lenses. Then we managed to get a few acrylic lenses
manufactured but only for left-hand drive cars. Now both the supplier and our moulds are gone, so
we decided to have a radical re-think.
However desirable it might be to have a totally original car, many people have been critical of
the light output of the original headlights. Over the years we've seen many one-off and a few
limited-production conversions to quad headlights. This type of conversion undoubtedly improves
night-time visibility but usually seems to involve irreversibly modifying the headlamp mounting
area and the front grille.
After a great deal of development, we've now managed to produce a quad headlight system that's
a direct replacement for the original headlights. It even mounts to the original headlight spiders,
so beam adjustment is as simple as it is with the original lights. This means that owners can now
remove their precious original headlamps and replace them with our QuadView™ lights, safe
in the knowledge that they can re-fit their original lights whenever they want to.
We've incorporated all the relays and wiring needed to get the maximum power to these units - all
you'll need to do is plug in your original lighting connectors and make a simple connection to
your battery. That's about as close as we can get to a 'fit and forget' system. We've tried to
make our prices as competitive as possible, but remember we have to recoup all the design and
tooling costs somehow! We've set ourselves what we hope is a realistic
target for sales of these lights and spread our costs over the first production batch. This
gives us a selling price of just £495.00 excluding VAT for a complete set of
four lights. That's £594.00 inclusive of VAT if you live in the UK or Europe.
These lights are available for both left-hand and right-hand drive cars and can be fitted to a
Scorpion, though you'll need to fit a new Montecarlo noseband and our noseband support panel ends
as well.
We need at least six firm orders, together with a 50% deposit, before we can begin production.
Once we have enough orders we expect to be able to ship the first batch of lights within four
weeks. If you'd like more information or you want to place an order, please send us an e-mail
