The 'E' Type Forum

Makes total sense. Chromes off then... wish me luck!

This is very helpful advice, thank you. I do have a follow up question if I may? Only the dip beam on one side (left) is not working. Both main beams are working. It seems (from looking at the part I have fitted: JLM 9609) that there is only one bulb for both dip and main beam. In this case, it can’...

Sorry, ignore my last reply. I think we are talking about the same thing. Just to double check one more time, however, is it not possible to remove the lights from inside the bonnet thus avoiding touching the chrome at all?

Dear Forum, I have just begun the process of restoring my series I E-Type roadster (1E 15392). The car is not a total wreck but there is enough rot from a decade or two of standing idle to justify a full engine-out restoration. A full nut and bold job puts me in the enviable position of being able t...
