so I have been doing some trawling and found these on fleabay....
http://www.ebay.com/itm/WIPAC-CRYSTAL-H ... 519966dac2
By the look of things, this would be a good replacement that would be a straight swap over from the old ones. What do you guys/gals think? am I looking at an appropriate product? are the wattage values appropriate?WIPAC CRYSTAL HALOGEN XENON HEADLAMP HEADLIGHT 7"
for replacing standard Lucas-style round 7"diameter sealed-beam units
Supplied with a 12Vg 60/55W (main/dip beam) Halogen H4 bulb, this kit offers excellent lighting due to its clear lense & profiled back reflector whilst consuming comparable power to standard Lucas-style sealed beam units
Or UPGRADE TO A 12V RING ULTRA XENON H4 BULB FOR JUST £4.99 MORE (please request a revised invoice before paying):
This is what the manufacturer quotes… “Up to 60% brighter than standard headlamps. Enhanced performance for greater light output. Precision designed filament ensures brighter hotspot. Objects can be seen more clearly at a distance of 75m on dipped beam. Ideal for professional drivers, non urban drivers, night drivers and those with vehicles with typically poorer headlamp performance. No additional wiring or switches required”
Or UPGRADE TO A 12V ENERGY-SAVING H4 BULB FOR JUST £4.99 MORE (please request a revised invoice before paying):
These 35/35W (dip/main beam) low-consuming (as opposed to output/efficiency) Halogen H4 bulbs offer modern lighting technology whilst simultaneously reducing the load placed on your vehicle’s electrical system (battery, switches, generator (dynamo/alternator) etc) compared with most standard sealed beam units
Supplied with an integral side / pilot / ‘city’ lamp fitting and 12V 5W bulb
Fully Compatible on vehicles fitted with ‘dim-dip’ function (where a low current is supplied to the dipped headlamp beam when the side-light is operational and the engine is running)
IMPORTANT:
Choose your headlamp on where you drive, NOT on where your vehicle was made! - This kit is for people who normally drive on the left side of the road e.g. GB, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Japan etc.
or is there something else I should look at instead?
and are energy saving bulbs worth the extra cost?
any feedback is appreciated
