Smaller headlights
TheHighlander123 - 27/11/16 at 08:15 PM

As above,

I have a Westfield SEIW and am looking for new headlights that look a bit more modern.

I have seen some smaller ones but can't remember where now.

Anyone got any links?

Dominators? They are 4"

Love your cycle wings. Where did you get these from?

Dominators look good but if you intend to use the car in the dark they are crap. Even with decent bulbs. Mine lasted a few days before being swapped to 5 inch headlights.

They are just standard Westfield cycle wings, but carbon wrapped the 'centre' part... only cos I couldnt get it neatly around all the creases!

They've since been replaced with real carbon wings

I'm going to be selling these... I think they look great, but for me they are not bright enough, I got them from russbot furore products, looks like you can now get a HID update for them, but already have some 7" (!) leds to get in their place once I have built a bracket strong enough!.
many have reported back to russ that they are great, so it could just be my eyes/seating position, fussyness!

I should add that I had 4" dominators before these, and I would say these are better than the dominators.

Something like THIS,

or perhaps,

THESE

They're not cheap (tho' Ollie will give you a discount if you tell him you're from LCB), but they are VERY good, we use the single ones on the Furore

Chris, I'm amazed you don't find them bright enough, that's the first negative comment we've ever had on them I think, I don't run Furoreproducts anymore, but still use these lights on the Furore & I think they are brilliant, never really thought about upgrading to the HID's as just not necessary???

I know Russ, that's why I just edited my post to say It's probably just me.. I've had my eyes lasered too, so perhaps I have a side effect from that .. I do wish I could just keep them, they are very light and look great.

Also I have a small alternator and a lot of electrics, so it's an excuse to switch to LEDs too.

I got mine off Ollie (as russbot says), he did a discount as a LCB user

Great item but I cannot comment on the light output, I've only used them in the dark with a dark visor (not recommended at all!)

I had a set of these on my MK Indy. They looked good and I found the light from them OK to drive with. It's fair to say I wasn't out in the dark much though.

Another vote for the ones from Furore. I have the twin versions (4 lamps). I have found them easily bright enough. I would like the HID update but I think that would be overkill
