G'day all,
I know, I know...another question about my daughter's 69 bug...lol.
After driving back from Sydney the other day/night in that mongrel stormy weather..I noticed that the front left headlight was not working...so me being me decided to have a look. Once I had dissassembled the headlight and removed it from the fibreglass guard I noticed that it was a 2 piece headlight. It had this huge round 40/45w globe that was of a wierd H4 design that didn't have the normal 3 tab locating base. I managed to find some replacement globes that were rated at 55/60w...however the reflectors in both headlights are far from being nice and shiny..the lower half of the reflector is corroded and I imagine that it doesn't help with the light output much at all. The question is...can I swap some other headlight assembly in there to bring them up to a decent level of brightness?.I had a pretty frustrating time getting all the little clips back in place and the reflector lens has a few mounting tabs covered in rubber that locate it in the carrier so it can be adjusted...my god..it is a complicated way of doing things when so much more easier ways are available. Any takers who can lend me a kind word and advise what can be retro-fitted to these.?
