I quite fancy fitting the above grille and lamp set to my van once I've completed the bodywork & paint [Its got two useless little spot-lamps on the front bumper]
Has anyone else fitted this conversion and did it give a good enough increase in lighting? 200 odd quid is fair bit of cash to lob out if it only looks good but precious little else
Many thanks.

Re: South African 4 headlamp mod
If you do the headlamp relay mod 1st you will see what your lamps are really like. Then coupled with a SA grille and inner spots it must be an improvement.
I really fancy one, looks wise, but I'm too tight to part with the cash, so relayed lights and 2 big spots on my bullbar for me at the moment

What a long strange trip it's been

Re: South African 4 headlamp mod
I converted (fitted) mine, I did the relays at the same time.
The difference is huge, really noticable.

You could also buy 'Osram Nightbreakers'. They're about a tenner from ebay.
They are legal and don't use any more power.
My headlamps are now better than my modern(ish) car.

Re: South African 4 headlamp mod
Hi, are the inner spots still available? My van has only got a four light grill because the garage I bought it off drove over the original on the day I collected it. At the mo' the inner spots aren't connected up and are held in place with mastic!

Think I'll go with it then, I must admit to liking the visual appeal of them and if I can actually see a bit more, all the better [I live in a rural area with no street lamps and its bad enough in a 'normal' car!] I'll try that relay mod too.
Thanks everyone
