Ok cool, I'll just buy them and see if they fit.

Was it these you bought specifically?: https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk/pr...main-dipped-beam-e-marked-classic-car-kit-car

And any recommendations for the H4 bulbs? Something like Osram Nightbreakers 5000kw? Think that's what I used to buy when I last had a car with H4s.
I bought the ones with the additional side bulb but, I also regret that as it is a pain in the ass to get right - the bulb holder is too delicate and I think IIRC, was broken on delivery.

I just bought the good H4 ones from Halfords and I'm happy with the results from those.

Thanks Martin. I ended up buying the ones without the side bulb at 4am when I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep 😂

Also did some witching hour bulb research and have pumped for the Phillips Racing Vision H4s as they've won recent tests. I imagine they're pretty much all the same these days. £20 for a pair though, so nice and cheap compared to xenons and LEDs!

Ha, must have been a good purchase, you got a link there? Also: I might have a spare relay kit kicking around somewhere. I bought it just in case my own relay set up was rubbish but, works a treat mine does 👍

Think @240L31 created them when he was doing his own, his stuff is solid as I had his wire kit for the gas pedal and that took out the slop I had.

I got them from a little independent trader called ... "Amazon" - I think they're new! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Philips-575528-RacingVision-GT200-headlight/dp/B08KGH3JK8/

Ahh ok that sounds good! Are they solid state relays?

I bought one of 240L31’s throttle kits but not put it on yet - another job for the list, but you sound happy with it …

Fantastic bit of kit and totally reversible too. I had his little 3D printed bits that hold the spark plug leads as well. Top bloke 👍
