Thread: cystral headlights

I've got a cheapy set of these in the 101. Ok, but nothing too special. Heaps better than sealed beams though...

Don't bother
I had one where the internal shield detached after 2 weeks

I have the Wipac Crystal Halogen Lamps and rate them far superior to the sealed beams.
Better spread and crisper lighting.
They have been in for 5 years without a problem.

They are even better with a traxide upgrade. Pat

Seconded, had mine for a year now and with a wiring upgrade they are amazingly better then the stock headlights I had.

Unfortunately one appears to have deformed from heat. I am running 90/100w globes and have the Perentie perspecs cover over them as well, so I suppose that hasn't helped.

Hi,
Yep, still in the box unfortunately.

It's on my to do list, the Traxide upgrade is in already and is an improvement.
Cheers

Am about to do a relay upgrade so I get full voltage at bulbs like I've done on some of my other landies.Have plus 120's in lights at present but only getting 10 to 11 volts at bulbs .Have seen the crystal lights on fleabay for a while ,look good just wondered if worthwhile.
