I fully intended, this winter, to replace the headlamps in my HA with sealed beam units and twin filament side/indicator lamps with white lenses. The pre focus lamps don't give quite enough light for me!
Talking to my local MOT guy though he tells me that this set up only applied to HA's up to 1965, and that converting my 1966 model would make it illegal, on the white side light situation, and an MOT failure if I brought it in.
Yes, I know I don't technically need an MOT, and I could chance it, but I take one every year just for peace of mind!
I've therefore abandoned the idea, and will stick with the current set up, pre focus bulbs with side lamp integral to the headlamp, and orange glass single terminal indicators.
I could then investigate any pre focus adaptors for the headlight bulbs, if there is such a thing!!
So I now have a good pair of sealed beam headlights, with bowls and wiring and support rings, plus two double filament side light/indicator lamps with white lens. Side lamp housing and terminals are brand new, and glasses are in excellent order. All in fine working order.
If they are of use to any Member, they can be purchased, and I'm not asking a fortune, before I put them on e. bay.
p.m. me with an offer if interested.
