what size headlight bulbs?

[loud430]

evening all, ive just spotted one of my headlights is not working on dipped/full beam, what wattage are the bulbs? I will have to try & pop into halfrauds one night after work, the car has the mk3 faired in lights if that makes a difference? cheers.

They are H4. I would change both and fit something like Osram Nightbreaker, as they give about 80% more light without upping the wattage. Wattage is 60/55 I think.

thanks for the help fellas, I will try & get some osrams this week then & give them a go, im off to the classic Silverstone in a couple of weeks so will need them on the way home.

just looked up h4 osrams on amazon, it says they don't fit a chim or a tamora (which is what I thought the faired in headlights were from)?

You often get that. But I will ask a friend who has the faired in lights and get back to you.

brilliant, many thanks.

Both friends with faired in lights think they are H4s.
I would ignore most manufacturer's charts - they tend to ignore TVR with them not being either mainstream or current.

I have a flared kit sames as the mk3 sealed hella lamp unit, it uses H4's. Remove panel in wheel arch, pull off cable 3 pin plug and big rubber seal then unclip bulb.

just to finish this thread off, the bulbs for the faired in headlights were indeed h4's 60/55's. many thanks.
