Quad Headlamps F/S (Ebay) Rarer than a Tailblazer/Armrest !

[djoptix]

Holy crap! £137 with 8 mins to go... Has nobody heard of game theory?

[deltic]

They're going silly, so they're all yours anyway! Lots of foolish early bidding going on though...

Thanks, but I gave up at £50.00!

[deltic]

Mind you would be one way to double the value of my BX!

[djoptix]

Lol, I was going to 75... £155 is batshit mental!!!

[Mothman]

Somebody wants them badly then...
Promise its not me, decided they were not for Sophie.

So, is anyone on here going to own up as to having purchased them?

They may not be a BXC member, howevever if they are they may not be prepared to state they've bought them ?

So therefore could remain as :-

Sorry, paying £155 for a pair of headlamps is not batshit mental at all. It's eminently sensible and we all think it is big and clever.

Come on, who was it...?

I might as well put you all out of your misery I bought them I think they will go colour coded with a xenon conversion very nicely, if you think £155 is pricey the Landrover self levelling HIDs were £750

[frog]

Fair enough Mike, please post up the details of the HID conversion! Do you need head lamp washers for the hid conversion in the UK? Lucky our whole cars are self levelling.

a HID headlamp unit sold in the after market should:

1. be type approved to ECE Regulation 98 as a component.

2. when fitted to the vehicle should enable ECE Regulation 48 to be complied with (although no government inspection will take place).

3. Comply with RVLR as far as "use" is concerned.

In practice this means:

1. The headlamp unit (outer lens, reflector, bulb) shall be type approved to ECE 98 and be "e-marked" to demonstrate this. That can only be done by the headlamp supplier - Hella, Valeo etc. who must test the headlamp in an independent laboratory.

2. Once fitted to the vehicle it must have headlamp cleaning and self-levelling (which can be for the headlamp or can be in the vehicle suspension - some expensive estate cars have "self-levelling suspension" and that is adequate). Also the dipped beam must stay on with the main beam.

3. The headlamp must be maintained in good working order, kept clean, and aligned/adjusted correctly like any other headlamp.

The landrover HIDs level themselves there is no high low beam as suck the headlamp dynamically changes its focus and spread pattern for high low beam
the incorporate headlamp washing never been a problem in testing unlike the LED sidelamps which the tester said was the wrong white !!!!!!!! so a pair of rusty old 5w glimmering bulbs sorted that out just for the test

It is part of the new MOT regs introduced in 2012 because dirty HID can cause dazzle.

Well done Mike - I like 'em and look forward to seeing them on your car. Something is worth what ever the market will bear; if that's the going rate and you want some . . . pay up or go without - simple as.

A mate of mine just paid 750 quid for a set of genuine Cit roof bars for his C4 Picasso; two strips of metal and a few nuts and bolts . . .£750!! In the context of what folks pay for trifling stuff for brand new cars I don't think 150 quid for some rare BX Morettes looks quite so bad. Maybe BXers have been spoilt by dime store banger bargain pricing in the past - for better or for worse that maybe set to change by the look of it.
