Hi,

I'm looking at replacing the head lights in my 240K,

I'm not sure on what size to buy ( not the globe), and not wanting to pull one out just to measure,

also can any one tell me the different between the smooth reflector type compared to the ones with the little flats in it, pic included

I'm wanting to use H4 type, and later HID

5 3/4" from memory.. narva do a main beam conversion set part number 72050 (with high and low, as well as a parker light).. they also do a set of the smooth reflector ones which i believe are high beams (72060).

one i prepared earlier, i actually bought 2 sets (only 1 installed at the moment) so that i could do both high/low beam and the high beam

Hi,

I was looking at these,

they look very similar (other than the different reflector design). I am pretty sure i had to order in a set of the dishes that the lights sit in from Narva (you can see they are gold rather than corroded).. can't remember why i didn't use the standard ones.. but i remember having to order them (it was over 4 years ago now)

yep, just checked, page 35 of their online catalogue shows part 72186, which is the mounting housing for 5 3/4".. you could probably modify the standard one though.. i didn't try

yeah 5 3/4 the same size as a 1600 and most twin hlight dattos, i just fitted some 150w aircraft landing lights to replace my high beams. probably not legal but VERY bright.

Hi,

I've got my reflectors, haven't fitted them yet,

I'm also looking at these

but i need to find out how much electrical noise they make, can't have it creating havoc with Megasquirt
