Middlebridge Headlamp Upgrade

Sometime ago I bought and fitted the outer dip headlights from Fittapart along with LED sidelights and Xeon Bulbs. They are dome shaped and I was told the 5.75" were not made.

These lights were a massive improvement, so much so you could not tell when the main beam was switched on! Having spent a day recently to get my main beam headlights to work (thanks Pete Freeman for the email exchanges) one of them blew.

A quick search on Ebay and I found vintagewarehouse65.co.uk To my surprise they do the exact same make, Rutopal, in both sizes.

Pair of main beam headlights £25, pair of Xeon bulbs £10 and a pair of chrome surround bezels at an eye watering £28. There are cheaper bezels out there but I am hoping these are better quality and last longer than a week before rusting. They look original to me and as you know that's what I try and achieve with ASBO. (You can take the Mick here, Will. Electric orange limo tinted windows, orange seat belts, bespoke grill ) So how good are they? Brilliant. Like comparing a search light to a candle.

Once again many thanks to Peter Humphries for this great tip.
