Wanted - headlamps
nick205 - 9/9/08 at 09:30 AM

I'm after a pair of headlamps to replace the really cheap and nasty 7" ones I fitted during the build. The Chrome has fallen off, they rattle and they look like hillbilly pick-up lights.

Ideally I'd like some Black 5 3/4" ones to suit the look of the car, but I'm on a budget so will consider anything that's an improvement on what I have.

What have you got guys?

Cant you repaint the ones you have....then get some Halogeon convertors to make those lights sheeine!

Thought about it and if I can't find anything suitable I might have a go, but I'm haning out for some 5 3/4" units for the time being.

Can still do the Dominator headlamps (105mm dia) in black on the group buy at £45 a pair if that helps

I have some original chrome westfield items approx 7" dia, they are in good nick and come with sealed beam units inc side lights. The lamp power was never a problem when I had them fitted. £55 posted

I also have some of the dominator type in chrome (replaced with black as part of the bulk buy), at the moment they look a bit grubby especially on the front around the lens I'm sure they will clean up ok with a bit of duraglit if your interested i'll give them a clean and let you know. £35 posted

Can confirm these are very nice lights. Oh and by the way mine arrived very quickly after ordering, thanks Russ.

Can I have your old 7" ones? I'll just paint them, and put halogens in them... In fact I will trade you some brand new off road driving lights (5", that I don't have the knowledge/patience to convert to regular headlamps. Never mounted, or even put on a car.

Premier Wiring have the ones you want, unless you want really small, and the group buy on the Dominators is a very good price.
