headlights
kourgath:
I found that the Cibie series of 7 inch lamps (H180) were very good, not hugely expensive £25ea (Demon Tewwks so cheaper elsewhere) and fit right in no hassle. One guy I know has a set of crystal clear jobs in and is happy. Though he is using 100w H4's (it's an old S3).
I have found Osram Silverstar pretty good at standard wattages.
Try fitting upgraded/new wiring to the lights as they do degrade (particularly with age).
I did some pretty serious mods to my lights to get reasonable dip after the cibies rusted up (10+ years). Because I'm always fiddling I put Hella 90mm projector ones in where the side lights are normally, put 90mm main/indicator where indicator is and put some 8.5inch hella Ralleye 3000 in where the normal 7inch lights go.
Probably going to HID next for the dips to make them even brighter.
Range Rover Blues:
I find the clear "crystal" lights a bit of a pain, especially now I have HID. The beam pattern is very odd, the MOT tetster commented on it and now I'm looking at the road as if it's illuminated by a mirror ball. when I find the old Quadoptics I'm putting them back on.
Range Rover Blues:
--- Quote from: "Boddle" ---The HIDs I'm using are dual filament there are a lot on E-bay Cheaper but only give dip beam. HID is 3x as bright as a 55watt Halogen and uses only 35watts(E' Approved).

Are they dual filament or do they have the solenoid in the back? I'm asking as I've seen some with HID low beam and a Halogen high beam, but not for a while now.

Go for the treatment
Replacment headlights(910H), bulbs and a upgraded loom
We've fitted quite a few of those parts to various Defenders and Classic Rangies and all the customers have been very pleased.

That's what I have, fitted by you guys at Devon 4x4, make sure your lights are pointing in the right direction though, as they blind every [!Expletive Deleted!] !!!!!
