front headlights

im trying to find out what headlights should be in my 1967 4dr saloon as the ones she came with are odd and neither of them fit properly can anyone advise me or point me in the right direction please :0)

Standard 7" sealed beam units - originals would have been Lucas with 60 W main and 55W dip beams. Many folks upgrade to rather better halogen units now - which take the 55/55 H4 bulb. Wipac are considered to be good - but not the cheapest - and have been know to go rusty quite quickly. It's a good idea to 'seal' the edges with clear silicon when installing them.

The latest Wipacs have plastic reflector bowls and I have had no rust problems on either of my cars. For performance I would rate them the best for the price

Plastic reflectors ? Seriously? Won't they melt with the heat from the halogen bulb ?

every modern car has plastic reflectors now and plastic lenses

DSN have the kits - you probably want the RHD kit - with no pilot lamp. http://www.dsnclassics.co.uk/acatalog/D ... html#a2330

Although - if you fit the pilot lamp version and use them - the original front lights could then be upgraded to be your Daylight Running Lights!
