    Driving Lighting Upgrade to Talbot Talisman ?

    I did some research and these cheaper Chinese LED's do not give out as much energy and lighting ability as Halogens by the looks of the investigations carried out here Thanks though :-)

    Driving Lighting Upgrade to Talbot Talisman ?

    Hiya Phil, Following on from that then would it be better to fit some new lights and blank off existing two lights at the front do you think, which would give a better newer lighting solution at the front of the vehicle, however would change the "look" of the front, and so I wonder what impact...

    Driving Lighting Upgrade to Talbot Talisman ?

    YES Moulding was broken as well, and also the iconic Talbot Logo in centre of grill lost and probably run over by. Good idea on blanking and using different fittings, that could be low cost with better lighting as folk have said the headlights are crap on these model. Thanks Robert

    OMG Inverters !!

    So on the first run out when we stopped we tested the cheapish inverter I had (was actually £49.99) and I am returning it. Inverter tripped out with not much load whilst having the lights on 12V circuit as well in the Van. Also the built in voltmeter seemed flakey, for anyone interested it was...

    Driving Lighting Upgrade to Talbot Talisman ?

    So now the indicator is broken by Rogue pheasant I am wondering if it would be possible to upgrade the Talbot Lighting for the Van's external driving lights rather than me try and hunt down old parts which will likely be quite expensive, has anyone done anything like this ?
