1992 MX-5 Headlight Replacement / Upgrade

Post by Sugoi » Wed May 31, 2006 8:40 pm

Hi Out There,

One of the headlights has just failed and I am trying to get
some advice on the best replacement for it. It looks like a
sealed beam unit. Are there better and brighter
replacements that I should go for? How much is it likely to
cost? If I just replace the blown one, and put a brighter
one in, will I have WOF issues with two different
brightnesses?

Any advice greatfully appreciated.

Hi Aaron

When one of my sealed beam units failed a couple of years ago I fitted Hella
non-sealed units with the Xenon Ultra H4's and they are excellent. I am no
mechanic but was able to do it myself very easily and no further alignment
was needed. Cost back then was $230 inc GST.
