Headlights - Which Bulbs Do I Use?
birdii - 3/12/12 at 07:46 AM

Hopefully i'm having a stupid moment because i cant work out how to fit the bulbs into my headlights!

They are Saturnus lights which i bought quite a few years ago from Newark show. Never really looked at the bulb holder part until now.

The hole in the back of the lamp is too large for an H4 bulb and doesn't have any slots for the location tangs.

Hopefully someone can look at my photos and shed some light onto things for me!

Cheers

The bulb holder is a P45T pattern, a halogen conversion bulb isn't allowed for IVA it has to be the original pathetic contintental style tungsten bulb.
Auto Electrical Supplies have them part number 131603
