Morning all

Getting to the stage where I need to choose some headlights, Can't make my mind up between 7" or 5 3/4 as I'm finding it hard to picture what they look like on the car.

Any links to photos stating which size you have fitted I'd be really grateful.

Thanks

I personally like the 7" look better. Can I ask what may be a stupid question though? Why does everyone seem to mount them so low and not higher up i.e. caterham style? http://retrothing.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/caterham.jpg

Everyone seems to set theirs at level with the bonnet...

like frog eyes

Quite like the frog eyes on lower line bodywork
They stuck up a fair bit on my old westy.

the indy bodywork is too high for it though? haven't seen one like it so hard to say.
