hi all gonna fit some of the above to my classic (genuine) not cheap copies what are your thoughts like/dislike are fitting anyway but just curious as don't see many or does that answer my question lol

 

i have some fitted in mine i think they look much better and i have removed the drivers side main beam and converted it to a direct cold air feed for the air filter.

 

there dont seem to be many about forsale and are quite pricey the ones I've seen anyway thought that might be the reason the high price of them

 

i think they are quite rare now ive had a few people ask me if mine are for sale lol, some people dont like them but each to there own, theres no way i would go back to standard headlights now

 

I bought the crystal ones already but some came up so will be changing again lol

 

Oh dear.

 

I quite like them but then again I am biased. Here's mine...

 

Just taken mine off, and sold 'em on e-bay, they went for only £92
They did need a new inner light, (main beam), which are now around £60 EACH!

They are a VAST improvement on the stock items, especially if you put some uprated bulbs in the outers, but DO AVOID H4 HIDs! Try Philips Vision plus 90% uprated, Halfords Gold BOGOF, Osram Nightbreakers, GE Megalights.
For pics of what mine were like, look here: https://www.scoobynet.com/technical-...-lamp-kit.html Post 26.

Look here: https://www.scoobynet.com/lighting-a...mpler-way.html for beam patterns from what I have now, projectors with HID

 

I have them fitted and I think they look great.

 

Just bought a type r sti with these fitted. Drove up the road last night and very poor vision. As the guys say if you uprate the bulbs they are probably better. Away to remove mine as one of the glass is broken and there are a few chips out of them.

 

my old

 

They are a vast improvement over the standard lights!!

 

Those with them fitted: you need to remember that ALIGNING them is all.

I once went to the RAC rally and Cibie had a stand. They had a car with the lights badly set up, showed it off, then tweaked it so they all pointed where they should and the effect was like a couple of extra lights

If yours aren't very good, clean them and then align them, it's easy and worth the effort.

 

thanks for the reply people

 

umm do these come in a left hand drive version?

 

Ditto. I have them on my bug and thought the light output was shocking. MOT time last week, and although I knew they were out, I had no idea they were that far out. Pardon the pun, but it really is like night and day now. They light up everything!

 

Yes, they do, as originals, or you could buy a set and change the outer lights: they are the standard Cibie 5 3/4" units as fitted to many many cars from Capri to RS2000, still readily available, just get some of those in LHD.

 

cheers
