Wanted - headlamps

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?

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

Link to group buy





I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

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.
