SA or Taifun Twin Headlights

Post by Tufty_B »

I am considering swapping out my LHD square headlights for RHD twin rounds, what do people think of the SA or Taifun set-ups, any advantage/disadvantage over either (i.e. fitting or replacement lights)?

Do the SA twin rounds fit in place of the original squares or is there more to it i.e. extra mounting brackets, I ask because the wiki states to bend back 2 tabs when going from round to square. I don't have these tabs, is that an issue?

SA inner lights need 2 tabs bending backwards and 4 holes drilling to attach the brackets.

Taifun twin inner lights require a hole either side to bolt a standard spotlight mount to the bulkhead.

Both outside lights should be a simple matter of screws, or if the holes aren't there another 4 per light, as per the inners.

Self tappers for all :)
