angel eye headlamps

[old64er]

After admiting to myself that driving the griff at night was like holding a candle in front of the car, i started looking around for a better light source.
I know of the tuscanesque front conversion or higher wattage bulbs etc but these lights may look good,give enough light and keep its original nose.
Whats the general concensus?

I was interested up to the point where it said "not legal for road use". Bit pointless then, aren't they?

An S owner has done this I think.
Trawl the archivees for more info.

You'll also have to be careful about overheating the pods.

I fitted the Osram supercalifragalisticexpialadocious bulbs from power bulbs and it made loads of difference. I need to clean the lenses now but that means taking the clear covers of so I cant be arsed.

having been an mot tester, i never once checked E numbers on light clusters or headlights.
The amount of people running Lexus style rear lights now indicates that most other NT's dont either.
As long as the beams fall within the beam checker i think it will be ok.
but i may give those bulbs a go , it seems cheaper

We did the same as Dusty plus wired the Mod Wise kit up and the lights are now as good as my company hack.
The car is used daily, when it is back on the road, so they need to be good.
Plus I didn't want to change the look as I prefer the standard set up. Each to his own.

Not sure… I fitted the crystal halogen lamps to my S which made a HUGE difference… think someone else did too...

Speak to Dave at Tower View about his new light upgrade for Griffiths and Chimaeras.

He has demo unit set up in the office and if I had he folding right noe I would have bought them ....
