HEADLIGHT housings for beach buggies


Where do you buy headlight housing/units for buggies ?

what is best to use, rubber or steel ?

I have seen nice chrome ones bought from a motor bike shop used, but I thought they may crack after continual offroading etc
I think Hella make a rubber one used on bulldozers, are these good !:jesus

My Headlights are about the only original thing left on my Buggy, they must be over thirty years old still good.

It only gets driven on Sundays though!!!!!

Mine are sealled beam, and the rust that starting to appear after three years has been thrown in for free. Brad I hope that the ones that your going to offer for sale are alot better than mine.

I'm using 5 3/4 inch headlights for my manx....I bought chrome spotlights from a 4wd shop and then got H4 inserts for them which has the high & low beams as well as the park light......I prefer the smaller headlights to the 7 inch ones that most buggies are using.

Chack up on the ADR's if you are reregistering your buggy as they are quite strict - as you know. The most recent one that raised an eyebrow for me was this one:

"ADR 12 - Glare Reduction in Field of View
The function of this Australian Design Rule is to minimise the glare from certain surfaces in the view of the driver.


Bugger. I hope I'm wrong. Engineers may choose to dot i's and get you to matt balck you lamp casings.

A good website to read before expenditure on the SWB buggy is sharpbuilt buggies which links to this source.
