Thread: Crystal Clear Headlights

Those design do not have an "E" code on them. that makes them Illegal for road use.

But who will know??? unless you have to go thru a RWC or MOT situation.

I have a pair of Hummer headlights that i'm fitting..... they take 9007 globes and are sealled with an "O" ring.... Now that is nice for offroad.....

Here is some pix of them.



You can get them from here.

These lights light up the top of my bullbar which I am sure is not good meaning there is quite alot of light traveling nearly vertically from the lens instead of straight out towards the road. The light on the road is also patchy compared to the even spread from the Cibie and Hella inserts I have used.

That's what I was concerned with. The FF reflector can be really good (D2a etc) but then they were made for it, so to speak.

These one's from Devon4x4 are "E" coded!



Some good feedback, thanks.

Anyway, first off is a drivesafe wiring upgrade, then some better bulbs

4 across the front did quite well

And the Villiers generator hammering away in the boot to power it all?

Shorty.

I know those 150 watt clears.
I had 4 on my Datsun 260C coupe when I was young.
2 sat in the high beam lite space and the other two were in plastic spot mounts. I also had 2 100 watt fog lights on the front.

Worked great once I had the relays and fusses set up.

G'day Folks

I would be checking those Hummer lights, to see if they Dipped LEFT and not Right for US Europe and their Left hand drive vehicles As our lights on Cars and Trucks MUST dip LEFT and Motorcycles dip straight down or the newer ones with twin lamps might dip Left.


I don't have any trouble at 100 kph with a pair of HQ Holden 50/75 watt Sealed Beams but then I regularly clean my Earth connections with a small wire brush I also drive within my lights, and 100kph is fast enough and still keep my license

cheers
