What are you asking for these lamps?

[Jose]

I'm planning on using them in my XJ-6, wasn't selling them. I love them and the bulbs are still available, see picture below.

same for a set of S type Fog Rangers, they are so rare I'm not sure of selling them either.

Those are P45T bulbs in 45/40 Watts. In Europe we replace them with these halogen 60/55 Watts.

I have collected 4 fog lights , 3 working sealed beams, I'm planning to modify the burned one to take a H4 Halogen bulb. Keep you all posted if I succeed.

thank you for the information, I was wondering how bright they are, and obviously 45/40 watts is not bright enough for me, I like a lot of light at night.

do you have experience with these Lucas 700 European headlamps?

I need to test the Fog Rangers, have not done it yet, they are sealed beams too.

not street legal in Europe, but who could see the difference

wow, now we are talking Light !! I wonder if I can get those in the USA?? Or will I have to order from Netherlands?

do you think the high power draw could cause any problem with the factory wiring in the S type or the XJ-6 ?

thanks again.

I don't know the availability in the US, and I would use a solenoid close to the bulb.
