yup, they would be just dandy :wink: u might want to throw a rela or two on them though. The ole lucas switches don't like any sort of real current going through them. easy enough to do and so much safer :wink:

Cheers

Be carefull when buying cheap H4s, Supercrap imported a bunch of them that the globeholder was the wrong way up so you had to fit the globe upsidedown. :roll: So when you dip your lights they go up! :shock:

These lights were withdrawn but a lot were sold cheaply ($5 a pair)

PRC `Quality'. :lol: You do get what you pay for.
I reckon Wipac, Hella, Narva (maybe), forget the rest. :wink:

Supercrap convex ones are sealed beams only and cost about $11 each. You can buy the semi sealed ones offered by supercrap have a flat lense which i don't particularly like.

I wonder if the ebay ones are flate or convex??

Looked at Minispares site today, for the Wipac lights kit it quotes at AUD$125 including postage. If there wasn't any postage would only cost a grand sum of AUD$65...

Is that via post or courier? I used to insist on post- it was much cheaper. But I often had to twist their arm, I think they like using couriers as it's easier for them. :wink:
