2002 Headlights

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   One of my sealed beam headlights have gone on my 1974 2002tii. Rather than replacing the blown one I was thinking of updating to Halogen units. Has anyone else done this?

If so what units do I need, how much are they?

Can I use units from a scrapped E30 ?

Any info much appreciated as it's getting dark quick in the NorthEast of Scotland !!

	After No response from the forum!, I went to my local car parts shop. He quoted 12quid for a replacement for the 7" Sealed beam unit, then he remembered he had a Wipac halogen conversion kit somewhere. He gave me this for 30quid, so now I should have decent lights and easy to replace halogen bulbs.

	I would recomend buying some uprated bulbs rather than standard as they make a huge difference. I have just done this modification with my 635 and put in Zenon H1 bulbs. Bright does not even descibe them

	Cheers, I might try those bulbs. I am planning on fitting the halogen units this weekend, so I'll see how they are first.
