Ta!

Any, will be a vast improvement for you. Ive just fitted a Wipac set to a convertible at a very reasonable cost, from Bull Motif.

cheap way is go to a scrappy and get some head lights from a mini landrover or rangerover cut off the bulb holder as well then conect it to your cables and place the lights in
i have used lights from a landrover 7 for both
if you can not get the cables let me know i may be able to get new ones cheap for you

Coach Trimming Supplies do a set for £18 - but flat front. Bull Motif seem to sell the standard Wipac set for rather less than most!

I fitted a pair of these to my Traveller.

I seem to be plugging this company today, no pun intended.

I find the Wipac "Quadoptics" far superior to the normal Wipac conversion, having used those too. They do cost more? but I think this is justified. The construction is better too, the standard Wipac lamp(bulb if you're a gardener!) securing arrangement always seems a bit vulnerable to me.
They still retain the curved lens glass.

I fitted a pair of standard Wipacs and was a bit disappointed with the full beam - it seemed to be poorer than when I fitted a pair to my MG Midget. (I'd also done an alternator conversion at the same time on the Midget, would that have an effect?)

Yes, I noticed better lights with the alternator. I have the Wipac conversion with the Wipac spot lights, I certainly have no problems seeing at night!
