200 tasmin headlamps

Info -
Mine has the plastic H4 replacements for the original Lucas headlamp assemblies. Lucas items were fitted to a wide range of cars from about 1950 onwards...
The original Lucas metal shell attaches to body of pod with 3 or 4 bolt/screws (depending upon subtype) and has two adjusters and one fixed mount. The pastic ones are all 4 bolt (at least the ones I've used !)
The headlamp itself was originally the Lucas 'sealed beam' 55/60 watt, but you can buy H4 relacement inserts. I did find some of the inserts don't fit all of the mounting options, as the shape of the replacement is slightly different, but it can be fixed with a little bit of cutting.

I've fitted the Lamp Mounting Sets, and the 7" halogen conversion WIPAC QUADOPTIC split beam lamps from this supplier http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/VWP-onlinest...
A little bit of drilling was required to the headlamp pods, in order to line up the new mounting holes on the shells.
