I got mine here, even with post they were cheaper than buying Hellas here in Oz.

Bulbs deteriorate with age and use, toss away any that are blackening.

Also check the battery voltage with engine running, if below 14V I'd find another alternator/voltage regulator.

Wombat, I don't think Clubbies can get higher rated bulbs.


This is a similar question to what I have and was about to create a new topic... so if I understand right a Clubby should have up around the 14V mark with all the lights on and engine going?? Could this be the reason why after I installed my two new gauges plus globes the Headunit won't turn on? My voltmeter reckons there's only 12.(whatever) when the engine is on. Does this mean my alternator is on the way out?

Ben, your car has what are called `sealed beams'.
There is no separate bulb, the whole headlamp is a bulb.
If you want halogen lamps you need an H4 conversion. Available from Hella, Narva, Wipac and others.
I run Wipac QuadOptics, from UK.


Yeah, that means they are the older type, plane landing lamps. They are cheaper.

I mean I am looking 4 HID(Xenon), not halogen (I think this is more yellowish).

Wipac? did you approach them directly (since in UK)? or you buy them from a dealer here?


Ben, look here if you want to spend $1000 on headlights..

You are looking for something that is going to be very hard to get from a mini, all these 'problems' you talk about are normal for a 40 year old car especially considering the price you paid for it what more could you expect?

Stop trying to learn everything in a week and take the bloody thing to someone who knows what they are doing before you do some serious damage too.

Sell the matic and go buy this.
