[QUOTE="Pete Appleton, post: 2424, member: 145"] [b]Light units[/b] Norman The kit is supplied to convert the early mark 1 Golf sealed beam lights to halogens. The ones that I buy are supplied by 'Ring' ,a common supplier of automotive lighting. They should be available from your local motor factor part No RL080. This gets you a set of two light units for not much over twenty quid. So perhaps you could sell one to Roger and get your money back (assuming that he has found his missing compression). A final point is that the first unit we fitted cracked within 100 miles as we had just fitted it straight in the lucas rim. A bead of DIY shop silicone sealant to insulate the vibration has cured this, my one has been in for ten thousand miles and the old boys one has been in for much further. If you have trouble locating a kit let me have your address in a private message and I will send you one. Pete P.S You can send regards to John yourself as he has joined the on-line masses and is now totally I.T compliant and high definition ready. I am thinking of buying him a skateboard for Christmas.
