I have an old (1953) car that uses the ever-popular 7 inch round headlamps. A couple of years ago I had these replacement lights fitted.

The HID lights are really good, much brighter than the old ones.

However now one of the bulbs has gone and I have no idea where I might get a replacement.

I attach a photo of the bulb.


My old car is looking sadly one-eyed until I can work out where to get a new bulb.


The light kit is still for sale on Ebay:

Any hints or tips on this very gratefully received!

You’ve painted it!

Any eBay H4 Xenon bulb with the same plug should fit if they’re just stuck in a standard halogen reflector headlamp.

It looks like the bulb you've taken out has it's reflector missing?
You may as well replace the bulbs on both sides as they're so cheap, and they'll be matched.
