Xenon Driving lights

I recently bought a piar of Xenon (blue lamps) for my Range Rover. Not being clued in on the technology I took the advert at face value, believing that the Xenon source really did give a 30% boost in light output.

Upon receipt of the lamps I realized I'd be conned. Yes I'm sure they do give at least a 30% increase in light output, but this is due mainly to them being 100W/90W lamps and as far as I know they are illegal on UK roads.

So, if there's anyone out there that wants an extra powerful set of driving lamps for their "off road" project let me know. They should fit any round headlight, so will fit most LR/RRs.

I'd like about £20 for them, but please don't ask how much I paid as I'm too embarrassed to admit it ;0(

Hi Paul. I'm in Weston-super-Mud (easy for me to post these anywhere) and they are for the 7" lamps.

I thought all the LR round lamps were the same?

Bad luck, I know how you feel though...

One thing I'd mention to anyone with a similar desire to up the brightness a tad (anyone who owns a 101 will know what I mean!)...

Check your Earthing!

I have a standard set of H4 Halogen lights in Grumble which, after a minor rewire of the earth (and other equally minor rewiring of the superb military bodge job that had been done) are now brighter than the lights on either of our Discoverys.

I know this isn't any help to Martyn, but it sorted this Martyn :-)

Once upon a time there were 7 inch sealed beams, a British Leyland thing perhaps.

I recently replaced mine with quartz halogen and that was a big improvement.

And to think that I once rode a scooter with 6 v 18 watt headlamps and 3 watt rear lamps.

I was stopped once by the police because of the rear lamps and went through a long explanation of that was what you get with lambretta, there is not enough magneto power for any higher wattage, which varies directly with the revs not being battery mediated.

Innocenti, who made Lambretta were also owned by the ubiquitos British Leyland.
