Headlight change

#1 Post by rogerowen »

Is it possible to change single rectangular headlights to twin round ones?

Yes, but you will need to adapt the inner front valance, acquire a pair of headlamp mounting panels, then the lamp adjusting rings, chrome retainers, a set of lamps, a pair of outer aluminium bezels and a pair of egg crate radiator grilles

...and some additional wiring.

Galvanised headlamp mounting panels are available from the Club and are also the cheapest source for them

I have a set of inner and outer head lamp bowls (powder coated) and a pair of aluminium bezels painted black that I will be selling at some point.

I also have some halogen outer lenses or four non Lucas head lamps as well.

Thanks, that's encouraging.
