G'day Team,
Been a while but I've got another one.
Has anyone put new headlights in an old holden?
I want to replace the sealed unit headlights and put some more modern ones in where I can put brighter bulbs in.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Tom

Cheers for that mate,
Is it a fairly simple process putting them in?
Any dramas?

Alternatively you can get the lamps from an HZ Kingswood Sl and put in, no real hatsle. As long as you do not go overboard on the wattage the standard light switch and wiring will work. (A9X use halogen lamps with standard switch from HG)

Hi Guys.
These QH headight conversions are a great replacement for the old sealed beams. They bolt straght in, same connector plug & same mounts. There is a bit of a fiddle for those cars with parkers in the headlights (late HQ, late LJ & LH/LX), but i |

I recommend getting a decent brand like Hella or Narva. I have seen some very poorly made QH conversion lights, and the quality is just not there in the glass or the reflectors. Personally I have German made Narva in two vehicles at our house, and Japanes |
