Xenon headlamp upgrade : kits available

Post by jtparr »

in this months copy of Classic and Sportscar there is a kit available (page 174 of the December 2006) for upgrading H4 lamps

available from Quicksilver Automotive it promises a 40% increase in output and 50% decrease in power required

said to be straightforward swop with some wiring needed to connect the transformers that power the HiD Xenon Discharge units

all parts to replace 2 no. 7 inch lights are included at a cost of £281.98

buy direct on 0121 773 7000

just in case anyones interested

I will call them one of these days, no great rush yet........... :lol:

I just got some of those 60% brighter bulbs.. from my wholesaler they work great. The 30% ones are on my vans so, I think the 60% better on the 912 should be like daylight for about £8 ( trade prices )

Xenon Lights

I believe that Chris Turner is in the process of installing these Xenon lights onto an early car - problem is where to install the transformer - am personally v interested in installing these on my own car so will wait till Chris has resolved current installation problems.
