Thread: tilting headlights

Speak to Jeff (Fat50) as he retro fitted his D2 with electric tilting head lights recently - from memory it was just a kit he bought and it seemed prety straight forward.........extremely straight forward for a man with your techincal know how I would assume Harry

Good luck, Mick

P.S. Might be easier getting in touch with 4wdmatt (jeff's) friend as Jeff is rarely on here.

thanks mick,
god you're a long way away and you're here.
bloomin' magic i say.
have a good christmas mick.

Got em fitted on my TD5 defender, what did you want to know about em other than

4 heights to compensate for differing loads in the back (i just do the suck it and see thing) I always set em at most dipped when in the city and top height when empty on the highway.

Nothing new under the sun. I once ( regrets, regrets, that I sold it. The bloody thing is probably worth half a million today) owned a 1927 Rolls Phantom that had manually dipping headlights. There were three levers outside the body on the drivers side. The gearshift, the handbrake, and the dipper which pushed/pulled rods that tilted the great headlamps through a range from so close to be useless up to possum shooting.

well in the long run, i want to fit these to mine, but want to look at the setup to see what i need

And to you Harry, see you in 2007 and good luck with the lights.

So any more progress on this?

stagnant at the moment, still want to see the setup in a disco, may have to visit the wreckers.
