Think Jim Whiting does a good price on these (new !)

Presume you mean 5 3/4 inch? This is the other standard size, commonly used on 4 headlight set-ups on road cars.

 

I got mine from Westf1eld who fit them as standard. Smaller, lighter, less drag and black rather than horrid chrome.

[Jason Plato]

Yep.... thats the ones , how much did you pay ???

 

 

I think I'll hold out till I go to one of the kit car shows hey often do good deals .

I paid Westf1eld 60ukp a pair. Needed some jiggery pokery to fit the Caterham brackets but well worth it.

 

They came with headlight lenses, bulbs etc but I used some old Cibie H130 units that I had left over from my old RS2000. So if you find some 5 3/4 inch shells at the kit car show I've got some lenses going cheap.

Cheers for the offer Chelspeed ,

 

What was wrong with the original lenses as the W.e.s.t.f.e.i.l.d price of £60 appears very good .

Nothing wrong with them I just prefer the cibie Z beam type of headlight glasses and I already had them in the garage. They seem to give a better spread of light and very precise dip beam cut off so you can set them higher without winding up too many other roadusers.
