5 3/4 Headlamps

[Paul Formston]

Hi I have just fitted 5 3/4" headlamps instead of 7" and after fitting them I wondered how much less Light they give out, I am not to bothered as I don't drive a lot at night but Just interested Regards Paul

They shouldn't put out much less light, but the pattern maybe slightly less controlled. If you need a bit more oomph, I can wholeheartedly recommend the Philips X-treme Vision H4 bulbs. They really do put out more light, not just colour it blue.

 

Linky to some on ebay

I rxpect you to be pleased.

Output is every bit as good as the 7" units.

Thank Lads 😬

I can agree with what Martyn has said, using Philips Xtreme bulbs, I find I get more light than the standard bulbs, but there is a big hole right where I need some light, and no matter how I move the lights, I can't seem to focus the lights, and that's using uprated reflectors too. Quite disappointing really, but there again, night driving is only about 5% of all y Seven driving, so not too much of a disadvantage and the car looks far better, especially since I lowered them too

At this time of year about half of my driving is in the dark (or yesterday in the thick fog).

I was wondering about more lights 😳

Do you think I could fit some between radiator and grill?

Hi Golf Juliet Tango I think if you fit a alloy Angle/channel into the bottom of the nose cone and you could fit some small high powered spots the channel could be fitted with some aircraft Hyloks for neatness Regards Paul

Paul

Quite right. I thought you could mount some the way oil coolers are fitted in front of the cooling radiators.
