hello!

just wondering if someone could point me in the direction of a simple headlight, one that is definately compliant, includes side dip and main, and has a case with it. anyone? i've looked on a few sites and they are mostly crap places with poor descriptions, no sense in the order and crappy photos...

thanks in advance!

These guys have reasonable descriptions.

Their products aren't too bad either. If you ring them they'll tell you if the unit you are after it SVA complient.

MAC1 have got some cheap compliant lights

mac1 say they have sold out of the £35 plastic ones, and they arent guarenteed compliant. But, they have a pair of powder coated ones for £75, which i ordered, so should arrive soon!

thanks for the replies guys, much appreciated!

Got a pair of 5.3/4" in black from SVC, same as fitted to Westfields, so it says on the box, main/dip beam and side light. Very nice.
Also available in chrome.

What about size? My cars a +4" so I was thinking about 7" lights to disguise the width. Anybody used big lights or are 5 3/4 the way to go?

i went 5 3/4 to save a fiver, though i guess they will look better.

try making cardboard cutouts to test the effect of different sizes?

The sVc headlights are supplied to most of the "7s" kit companies and will pass SVA. They are all made in brass, so corrosion will never be a problem.
Xenon bulbs giving - as claimed by Osram - 50% more light and STILL SVA - OK will cost £10 extra if ordered with the lights.
7" give a bit more light due to the bigger reflector.
Carbon frbre effect now available on both sizes.
We are still looking for a guaranteed SVA/Mot legal smaller lens & will tool up for a light body if one is found.

I must commend the SVC Headlights - they are excellent! Very well finished and the beam pattern/output is fantastic. Excellent company, excellent product!
