Think those Skylines have replaced one of the twin headlights with a cone for a ram air system, but it still leaves them with one part of the headlight working :/

Hi,
Read here...

If it's pre '72 you only need 1!
Always check the book....
Cheers,
Gavin :)


But that's no good for a mini as it isn't less than 400kgs

"Vehicles first used;
. before 1 January 1972, or

. on or after 1 January 1972 with

. an unladen weight of 400kg or less, and

. an overall width of 1300mm or less require only one headlamp."


To me that looks like it says you may use a single headlight on;

(A) a pre 1 Jan 1972 vehicle

*or*

(B) a post 1 Jan 1972 which weighs less than 400kg and is no wider than 1300mm

So you could justifyably run in road legal class at Avon with no headlights and no complaints?

I seriously doubt it!

Hi,
I read that as one headlamp before 72 or one headlamp after 72 if it's the right size and weight (the vehicle, not the lamp! lol)
Paul .. can't see why not...

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

I was seriously thinking of taking one out and putting one of carbon weezel's headlight cones there and ducting it straight to the filter.maybe make it removeable so it could be replaced with a headlight for nighttime driving lol
