Title: Euro headlight bulb upgrade available.
Post by: Paul99 on August 22, 2019, 16:13:42

I have the standard euro headlights with the R2 old type bulbs. I know you can get a halogen bulb to replace it to get more light, but I notice you can get the even brighter halogen bulbs, which say they are 50% brighter again.  Problem is I can only find H4 bulbs which wont fit.

Then I found this adaptor which might be of interest. It allows you to fit the much brighter H4 150% brighter bulbs to our euro headlight cars.

Hope this helps, sorry if its been listed before.

Why not just fit LEDs ?
Quite a few of us have bought from Classic Car LEDs ,in UK, and fitted them OK  ,  Duncan there was very helpful.

Use the search here and you will find quite a few posts on Led headlight conversions.(changing headlamp bulbs to LED)
shout out if you need advice,I still have the pictures I posted here a while ago.

Totally agree with Paul.  I did the LED conversion, purchased from a UK firm, cannot remember which, and they are like night and day, clear white light.

Yep the LEDs are good. This is just a good option at a lower price. £23 all in.  Much brighter.
