dobbo Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 Found this headlight unit whilst doing some research last night. Unless I'm missing something, they should be a straight swap. OK, they appear convex, not concave, but not by much. At that price, I think I'd put up with that anyway ! You'd probably not even notice if you had headlight covers. http://www.bowerspartsonline.co.uk/lighting/front-lighting/classic-front-lighting/5.75-inch-headlights/5-34-5.75-classic-car-crystal-headlightheadlamp-halogen-h4-upgrade-with-pilot Also found this useful write-up of someone that's done a proper Bi-Xenon conversion of a car that has 5.75" units. As I understand it, as long as you use a clear lens (ie not one that is designed to create a beam pattern), the RHD units should give the correct beam pattern through a clear lens. Assuming that's the case, there should be no problems with the beams being totally f*cked up by putting a Bi-Xenon bulb in a unit designed for a halogen bulb. Bit of DIY needed, but we're all up for a bit of that, aren't we... http://www.bobclevenger.com/headlight_project.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyfox Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 The quality looks really good but I didn't fit them as the lens is not very OE. In fact I think they're better looking and better made. You are welcome to have them Kurt as I wont be using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
