Headlights, show us yours!

Post by weegaz22 »

Been looking at swapping out the headlights on my van and as they are 7" rounds there seems to be tons of them out there as they are the same size as other cars like JEEPs for example, so basically show us what you have other than OEM unless its been modified in some way.

I was leaning towards smoked crystals on mine, not sure if i was the angel halo in it or not, but seen projectors and other stuff as well so show us what you have.

Whatever you do please don't dazzle people and remember it needs to pass an MOT

I am tending to steer away from the Chinese replica projector stuff as the beam pattern on those probably isn't great after seeing a few youtube videos of them in use, but still wouldn't mind seeing how they look on a T25 from an aesthetic point of view, as said i will probably go with the smoked crystal style but still wouldn't mind seeing whats been done prior to me buying to see what my options are

Use the headlights ment for a mk1 golf, swap the mounting frames over from your original headlights to the new ones using the rear half of the old adjusters and the front half of the new adjusters and your done, no landrover bits and no cable ties.
I got mine from eBay for £30 and the beam is spot with no light leaking above the cut off and the correct kick up.
