classic lighting options

[maxtherotti]

he all have done a quick search on this and coulndt really find the right response to my question.

as we all know the dip beam on a stock rrc is poor to say the least but i dont want to put 100w bulbs in at as i did this on mt last rrc a few years ago and 3 months later had to rewire the lot due to melt down

so my question is are the clear glass ones any better for lighting up???

and any bulb recomendations for me?

or can any one recomend a budget hid kit?

thanks chaps

you could go 100 watt again,but use a relay triggered by yhe dip or high beam feed,a bit of work but well worth the effort,shough not cost more than £20 + bulbs,i stripped a rrc and removed a bank of 6 suitable relay,s and holders suitable for this

I fitted standard 55/65W bulbs into clear glass lights.

Better lighting and looks good aswell. Link

I was so happy with them I now have them in the P38.

But don't buy ones that are coloured, as the colouring reduces light output.

Get bulbs that have clear glass.

so do you think the clear glass lights are a good upgrade or do you put it down to the better bulbs?

rob

Both.

The bulbs are a good upgrade on their own.

And the lights are a good upgrade on their own.

cool did you go for cheaper clear lights or did you pay the extra for branded like wipac ones?

Proper branded and E-marked.
