johny Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 (edited) No sorry these are 7" units like a Heralds or GT6/Spitfire not the smaller 5 3/4" you need... Edited July 24, 2023 by johny technical error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 These on eBay are the right size with the 3 connections for dip/main beam (2 pin also available) and I THINK should do the job but I cant vouch for how good they are... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johny Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 yours are definitely 5 3/4" (as far as I know 6 1/4" dont exist) and the part number should start with a 5 not a 7 or they will be too big.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johny Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 yes thats it for 3 pin dip main units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johny Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 be aware that some come with a side light clear window in the rear reflector of the unit as used on some Dolomites etc. Not a problem but you can see it from the outside... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 whilst on headlamps are you considering adding relay feeds so you get 14.5 volts at the front .there can be a terrible voltage drop due to long wire runs poor earths and old switch gear you can end up with only 10v to run the lamps , the full voltage will awaken the old glow worms there are main beam 2 pin seal beams at 75w as used on the big saloons no idea if they are available anywhere since seal beams went bust. if converting to bulbs then a good few have wired all 4 to be on dip/main without any MOT comments and thats very illuminating Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul H Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 I’ve converted all 4 headlights on my Vitesse to work on dipped and main . For MOT purposes I remove an inline fuse for the dipped so only 2 light dip Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
