Upgrade the headlights in your classic car to these new Crystal Halogen headlights.
Headlights have been changing dramatically over the last few decades and one major advantage of modern cars is there superior lighting.
This listing is for a set of the latest technology multi surface reflector headlights ( often called Crystal Headlights ).
Here is a brief history of recent developments of headlight technology....
Pre-focused ( 1950's )These had low power bulbs and were very poor.
Sealed beam ( 1960's ) These were a much better lamp but had the problem that the whole light unit needed to be replaced when the elements failed.
Halogen ( 1980's ) - These were a great improvement with much brighter bulbs that could be replaced and upgraded.
Multi-reflector ( 1990's ) - These are the latest evolution of lights which a complex reflector pattern that directs the beam and a smooth lens along with a halogen bulb.

This listing is for a PAIR of lights.
These lights are RHD, MOT passing, headlights with the correct UK beam pattern. These parts are not E Marked as they are intended for use on classic cars.
These headlamps have a glass lens ( better than plastic as plastic can scratch easily )
The light pattern is set by the reflector not by the lens (as on standard headlights) so the lens is smooth giving a cleaner sharper appearance to the lights.
In addition to the better technology the reflectors on these lights are made from plastic and so the reflector will not rust or corrode like the older metal ones.
These lights use Halogen H4 bulbs ( not included ) which you should have in your old lights ( unless you have sealed be units fitted )
These lights also have a side light bulb holder ( bulb not supplied ) which you can leave un-connected if not needed.
We have upgraded H4 bulbs for sale that will fit these lights see our other items / search for "H4"
No modification or drilling is needed to fit these lights so you can change back to original specification at any time.
Fitting Details
Straight replacement for standard unit - no modification or drilling needed.

Note - the left headlight and right headlight are both the same
