Hey all, i am looking to change the front lights on my round nose van.. Any type of light will be considered, if a modification is needed to fit the light that is also alright as i have already modded the rear lights. So if anyone has any sugestions of a different light i could put in....?
Cheers
Daniel

Depends on whether you want just a straight H4 conversion, a superbright $$$ HID Conversion or something custom?

I personally just went with some H4 Hellas that i'm very happy with.

I brought in some Wipac Quadoptics from MiniSpares UK. Very nice beam- cost me $110 a while back, Hella H4s were $150 then.
They bolt straight into your sealed beam surrounds.

best thing i ever did for the mini minor when i was travelling up and down the coast was to put the H4s in. i just can't get used to the non-light originals in the 850 now. must be about .000000001 candle power each

With any plastic reflector lamps, watch the wattage on your bulbs..
Mini Mad had angel eyes with 100W+ bulbs- they burned holes in the back and cracked the lens in front!

Hehe..those were made in TAIWAN ...they also decided to blow one of the bulbs to pieces when i was out the other night Might bring them along tommorow for show and tell

The Hellas are made in GERMANY and the main thing is the back surround of the lens is glass..i think..either that or metal..unlike the plastic taiwanese ones and the front lens in much thicker

The Hellas are still $150..but they include bulbs..i got a discount anyway

i think he means lights from another car, for example, a volkswagon!

Gents, are the Hella straight from the auto parts shop and are the bulbs replaceable? Thanks

Yes, they are a direct replacement, perfect fit.

Part # 3604/100 (the 100 is for 100W high beams, they also come in a 3604 which has lower (60W) wattage bulbs uncluded..same price) both are 55W low beam though, and these are as bright as the 100W i had in the angel eye's..

[edit]On all H4's the bulbs are replaceable

I wanted any sugestionon either, from another car or a replacement.. If there was a replacement that was going to look good and not need any body mods then, id go that way, but if there was a very good looking light out of another car that would fit without too much mods then i would even consider that.. The volkswagon lights in my opinion look sweet, but way to much work, I think the bonnet and the grille both had to be modded....?

As said before, Hella, Wipac, Cibie, PIAA, Narva all make light units that go straight in. You will need relays and bigger earths to make the most of them. On a rally car we wired it so both beams were on at once. They were Alfa Romeo lights we got out of a wreck. The brand escapes me (old timers disease)

I just swapped over from sealed beam to halogen in my mustang. Very nice looking units that cost me $19 each from an autoelec at a swap meet, plus $19 for a set of ultrabright bulbs....total cost $57. You can find halogen bulbs at the swaps for next to nothing. I just felt like paying a bit more.
