I think 5" look neater but I suspect if you are doing a lot of night driving then 7" would be the way to go.

Dunno what SVA have to say about lamp sizes.

Just my tuppence.

I think it might be a misconception to think that the bigger the head lamp the better the light output.

Modern lamp assemblies of reflector & lense are generally very good. So size only obstructs view.



Enjoy



Oh & creates drag.

Rob Lanes Locost started life with the 7" headlights and now has some 5" headlights, visit Rob's Locost Site and take a look, see which you like best

Edit is for website, it works now !!

Twin 5" looks best in my opinion.
