headlights??

[Smokey Boyer]

Just seen these on ebay.

Does anyone know if they will fit an S3?

My headlights have rust inside.

I also need some new chrome surrounds at some point.

Yeah, just standard 7" with sides by the look of them. Reasonably priced.

Will the halogen lamps not draw more current then the filament bulb?

[Alan461]

I think H4 are rated 55 and 60w dip/main Legal requirement.

Not if they are the same wattage. Halogon lamps are filament bulbs anyway, they just have a small amount of iodine or bromine in the gas to generate a halogen cycle chemical reaction which redeposits evaporated tungsten back onto the filament allowing them to run hotter, brighter and longer.

That's good physics.
