Will7 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 HiI have a 2016 7 SV with standard headlights and find them hopeless at night!Apart from the very expensive factory LED upgrade, is there another route members have tried to improve the lighting? Not sure whether it is just bulbs or if the 5 3/4 inch lens needs swapping out too?Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petethediesel Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Talk to Dave Gemzoe Motorport. He has researched many bulb solutions and sells the best option for about £35 a pair, Tel no 07884 432125. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative Geoff Brown Posted September 8, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted September 8, 2019 I just popped in a set of 150% 'Night Breaker' H4 bulbs....what a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vine Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I put in a pair of Philips Xtreme H4 +130%. Very effective. (I have the 7" SVC stainless lamps.)JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonym Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Cibies https://www.demon-tweeks.com/eu/cibie-5-3-4-inch-e-approved-headlight-conversions-241961/about £50 quid each for the 5”, Lenses. I found the switch from Wipac Caterham standard made a big difference. I explored bulbs but gave up because of shorter life experience. Some years ago now. I use 7”.

revilla Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Another vote for Cibies, although I use the 7" ... But compared to the standard Wipac they were night and day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickh7 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Dave Gemzoe’s LEDs v nigh t breaker H4 bulbs what’s more they have a great light pattern and the sailed through the MOT . The tester said that many fail because they are bright but have a scattered light pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
