I did this using the Bull Motif kit below

and it was dead easy to do. They are properly bright now, but I must confess I don't really like the flatter profile of the lights - they look sort of modern somehow. Much better at night though.

Check the make of light. The best ones for the price are Wipac Quadoptics. They have a good beam pattern and plastic bowls so do not rust. The price seems quite cheap, I would expect nearer £30 so check that the price includes the halogen bulbs.
Warning. Do not touch the bulb glass when fitting.
Pilot lights are side lights inside the headlight lens - used on Minis
A well worthwhile improvement to the car lighting

[mike.perry]

It is TRUE. I also witnessed them

[bmcecosse]

Crivvens! As I said earlier - the only known set in Christendom!

If you want some Roy.......

Here is a link http://www.minimania.com/web/Item/MMKT0 ... Detail.cfm

Not in Uk though but shows there still obtainable. They may of course dip the wrong way!!! AUs have been in use since the late 70s!! so a good investment.

At that price - I'll pass, thanks! Better not switch your's on Dennis.... they are irreplaceable!

[aupickup]

[bmcecosse]

I'm disappointed Dennis - I was expecting you to have at least a BOX full of them !

[aupickup]

Would liked to have had

i still have quite a bit of new old stock stuff
just takes me a bit of time to get round to sorting it

[bmcecosse]

Good grief!
