nicka Posted May 29, 2003 Author Share Posted May 29, 2003 ☹️ First post on here would have thought someone would have replied Are they just standard 7 inch lamps ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Locust Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Yes. Just standard (wipac I think) 7" H4 halogen units with sidelight. Be careful on the quality of the chroming of the shells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Field Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Nicka, There are two sizes I think. One is the big chrome one and there is a smaller matt black version which appears on some cars. I don't know which one is regarded as 'standard'. Suggest you call Caterham and they will give you the measurements. terry Trying to get out of the garage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Septimus Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Terry, aren't you supposed to be putting out oil well fires in Iraq, or erecting tents out there and not posting on Blatchat? Bring your 7 up to Shamley Green one evening and we'll find you a decent pub. Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Carmichael Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Both the chrome and black headlamps supplied by Caterham are the big 7 inch size. Some have fitted smaller 5 3/4 inch units that James Whiting (amongst others) can supply. They fit on the same brackets, but are (whisper mode) standard on Westfields...

Steve-B Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 go to www.powerbulbs.com and get some Phillips Blue Vision bulbs. # 22 for sidelights + H4 bulbs. generate 85w/60w but only consume 60w/45w so they're twice as effective, and more than double your night vision i can assure you as i've fitted them. *thumbup* Steve 210Bhp Sinister Version-VHPD here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myles Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Was thinking about these bulbs myself... But why not the VisionPlus - they claim to put down 50% more light... (OK, they are almost twice as expensive...Blue Vision it is then). What are the standard fittings for a recent Cat7? I've never had to change bulbs before so wouldn't know an H4 from an H1 (starting to recognise my elbow though - 'bout time). Are the sidelights a standard fitment - I notice powerbulbs are giving a set away free... Regds, Myles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
