    Headlight Upgrades

    Has anyone here changed their 7" Lucas headlights out for something else? I have Hella 1056 semi sealed beam inserts with H4 HID Globes which have been fantastic, no need for spotlights at all, however I've just had one cracked by a stone. I'm interested in what others have used. Once we get enough brands listed we should do a poll. I've heard Cibie's are also a good replacement. By listing brands and part numbers we could make a good resource for anyone changing out their lights.

    Yep, sounds good. I am about to get some replacements for my IIA, and I'd be interested to hear what people might have to say.

    For the trip to Castle Hill I fitted new bulbs to my standard lights, checked the aim, and, helped by the relay i fitted a year or two ago, I found the lights were right up to scratch, even driving at 100kph in bad roo country between Mudgee and here.

    But if you need new lights, I would be inclined to fit the Hella H4s I have on the 110, but I have to emphasise that the biggest improvement is the relay, followed by correct aiming.

    When I bought mine the Wipac was the the only type your more than welcome to have a look

    Very good piece of kit and with the dollar right up high a good time to buy

    I have been quite happy with both IPF and Hella replacement 7 inch headlights. Both take H4 globes.

    I'm pretty sure the Hella 1058 are the same as the 1056 except for having a parklamp globe supplied with them.

    Ok, now we have (I don't think we should bother listing the sealed beams):

    Lucas RTC4615
    Wipac PM678
    Hella 1056
    IPF 920H
    Narva 72038
    Cibie
    Bosch

    An interesting read and just may have convinced me to try Cibie's this time:
