Junglie Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Hi folks, is it possible to get headlight assemblies without the actual light unit? I bought new ones of those last year, but having removed the wings I now see how manky the rest of the assemblies really are, and it seems prudent to replace them... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul C Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 The older ones were a full bucket, the later ones were a half bucket, supposedly able to swap the bulb without having to remove everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sigi_H Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 My original ones (MY83) were closed buckets made of sheet metal. I replaced them completely with motorbike LEDs because the visual impression of the front was closest to the H4s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigi_H Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Headlights are for Motorbike from a german shop called Louis. Try to find a link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigi_H Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I removed the bowl completely, made a M8 fixed mounting point and used PG7 cable entries for adjusting. They are perfect for turning and clamping the adjustment screws. The holes for PG7 and the M8 fixpoint had to be widened a bit, thats all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagger Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Wipac make full bowl and half bowl versions in plastic. They’re ok, but one of mine has a stripped thread on the adjuster hole. I might do Sigi’s mod, or I might just superglue some strips of plastic in there and apply more grease to the steel adjuster screw threads. I’ll probably do the latter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
