Re: Headlight Retrofit



I replaced the hi/lo outer lamps on my 83 GTV6 with "Xenon-Charged"  sealed 
beam conversion kit from these people.  They improved my lighting 
dramatically, I would even drive at night again...using the US spec halogen 
sealed beam it was almost like no light at all.   Lens unit is made in India, 
but looks pretty good, with a flat face and much improved light distribution 
and cut off.  Lamp also has a socket for the euro "city" light.  Price is for 
2 lens housings and 2 of their xenon-charged H4 bulbs.  Bulbs even use the 
stock plugs.  Took a bit of fiddling to install in the stock GTV6 headlight 
bucket, but took about an hour to do both....mostly the first one.  To use 
the city light you have to modify the bucket using a dremel or similar to cut 
away some interfering metal.  Not too difficult.  Just tap them into the side 
marker lights.  If you are a purist you probably will not like them, but for 
$59 USD I thought they were a bargain and work fine compared to the US spec 
lamps. 

I had already replaced the inner hi beams with Hella lamps running a 100W H1 
that comes on with the high beams.
