UK Headlights..

Has anyone tried Lucas 7" H4's ? Will they fit?

Lucas part No LUB319 (RHD without Pilots)

This month in my Jaguar Magazine they have them on offer at £18 each from David Manners Group

I don't see any reason why they wouldn't…I decided it was between the Wipac ones which seemed like a good mid-level light or go all out for the Cibies, which were the priciest ones but very nice….you guessed it, bit the bullet and went for the Cibies.

Yes, got them in mine, good lights. Wish you could still buy Cibie Biodes, like I had in my original 914 - nothing else come close!

It was that shiny picture you posted that clinched it…now I just need to get the surrounds chromed like yours!

Luckily my surrounds were in great nick! Just a little Autosol and you see the results.... I gave them a good wipe over with wax before reinstall, and all unseen areas got a liberal coat of Tectyl. The carriers however were gently blasted, then dipped to get all the unreachable corrosion, CAD plated (as were springs etc) and finally powder coated grey -a little lighter than I actually specified - so with a bit of luck these will last at least another 40 years!!

Got the Cibie H4s installed today…passenger one works beautifully - low and main beam, but the driver one works perfectly on main beam but the low beam is really really dim. Brand new bulbs…

Any ideas what I should try?

Earth? Nothing dislodged on the side-light front (earth cable I think runs across both if I recall correctly).

Are the lights at the back ok?
