zim Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Morning, I'm fitting headlights to my offroader, but am a bit limited for space. I've seen a few people who have small headlights on their trucks, but am stumped at where to find some The standard LR round ones are too big. Demontweeks list a 90mm Hella but it only does main or dip (not both) and looks to mount quite deep. As do the bike ones i've been looking at. Can anyone share with me what are some flattish headlights i can fit ? If they can take a sidelight bulb as well as main & dip i'll be happy Cheers Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasticbadger Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 You could look at snow plough head lights - a nice compact contained unit with dip/full beam and indicator. Snow plough lights Otherwise, keep trawling motorbike head lights, cause I'm sure there's something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurriaan Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Try some from a touring car bus, some of those are pretty small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Murphy Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I'm not sure that you can use motorcycle lights on the road, on a car, can you ? Don't car lights have to dip to one side ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zim Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 cheers for the replies....i'm after something a bit cheaper than the above as they'll more than likely get broken in not too long. I'm not sure that you can use motorcycle lights on the road, on a car, can you ? Don't car lights have to dip to one side ? it's a challenge truck... but i'd like main and dipped lights on it.

Boothy Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 I use Triumph Vitesse / Herald outer sealed beams, which have sidelight clearings and dip/main beam, cheap as chips small sealed beams, Why sealed beams Boothy ??, Oh come on think about it boys, they will never fill full of dirty water when doing Challenges etc, because they're sealed. carp lights but they will do the job and perfectly legal and practical, and Gordon you tight git, they're cheap too. See you soon. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonr Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I've used the dominator lights from eBay - and very good they are too. Can't remember who said - but I believe it's not a problem for SVA / MOT that they do not dip to one side. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
