I had a headlight bulb blow on my Thunderbird Sport and when I went to fit a new one I discovered that one of the small nibs on the reflector that holds the bulb clip had broken. I telephoned my local dealer to order a new reflector only to be told that I had to order a complete glass rim reflector etc at a cost of £106. I rang Triumph direct to see if they could help but they said tough they could not supply a reflector on its own.
I don't need the rest. Does anyone know where I can get just a reflector. In the meantime I have used Araldite on the old one which seems to be holding. :

Any car spares shop should be able to sell you one for a few quid. It's just a standard 7" H4 unit, as fitted to millions of cars and bikes.

Like Slinky said, it's a standard item but be careful or you may fail your MOT with the wrong lens.

I bought a cheap replacement from JC Whitney and it's not marked as "DOT compliant" per federal law, but since there's no detailed mechanical inspection here in Texas it's not an issue. :wink:

Upgrade to an Adjure Ice. I saw a pair on a Rocket III and the improvement was amazing to be honest over the stockers.
