Tadek,

I put Wipak Quadoptics in my BN2 when I brought it back to UK. You can
get them 
either left or right handed. I got them from www.s-v-c.co.uk. These
units take 
the H4 halogen bulbs. They don't look all that original because
the lens is 
flatter than the originals, but I like them for the modern light
output. I also 
bought the option of the integral side (parking) lamp. With a
little rewiring, 
and yellow bulbs in the existing sidelights, I now have
yellow front direction 
indicators, with the parking lights in the headlamps.
This is of course easily 
reversable for future sale.

Hello,

I need to buy headlamp light units (European) for
my BN2. My priorities are:
- non-sealed beam
- good quality (with good light
output)
- original (Lucas?)
- preferably accepting H4 (round base or prong
fit)

Can anyone make a recommendation?


I have taken a look at Lucas
documentation for 100 & 100/6 and here is what
I found:

100
Headlamp    Lens 
                  Bulb
51337B/D/E 555447 (round LUCAS sign) 355 (E Transverse,
L.H. drive 42/36W)
51339A/B/H 553940 (rect. LUCAS sign) 370 (F Transverse and
hooded axial,
duplo 45/40W)

100/6
51966B/E  555447 (round LUCAS sign) 355
51959A/E  553948    (rect. LUCAS sign)  --
58290A    556452 (rect. LUCAS sign,
above centre) 410 (C Unified, 3 lug,
Duplo 'D' assymetric type 45/40W)
