I've got odd headlamps - one very yellow and rounded 'old looking' glass lense and another bright one which is loose - tried fixing it but I think I have clips missing and cannot tighten. I've packed it from behind the reflector for now to stop it from lighting up aircraft!

So, on my Christmas list is going a couple of new lamps and bowls. Am I right in thinking the bowls & lamps will come with all necessary rings and fixing screws?

The Wipac type clear lense lamps look good (Paddocks?) but i'm not sure if they'll look a bit too modern for a series 3? Anyone got pics of these fitted? For this reason I may just go for normal looking halogens. I like the retro series look and don't want to spoil it's character.

I've searched and read some useful older posts but wondered if anone had any recommendations? I assume it's bowls and lamps I need...any other bits i've forgotten to complete the job?
 
I got a set of the clear lense lights from paddocks a couple of years ago along with the new plastic bowl but they do not come with the chrome outer ring but I think they are avalible seperatr
 
Thanks for the replies folks - i've gone for a set of normal halogens in the end together with new bowls and some apparently decent bulbs. £47 delivered from Paddocks After all, she rarely goes above 40mph and is used only at weekends so anything better than oil lamps is good!
 
Search "Landrover Series headlamps" on eBay. There's quite a few including conversion kits to halogen headlights and some tacky ones with white LED around the edge.
 
I've got some on mine:

(in it's normal state - broken!)


They don't look too out of place, and were a definite improvement over the previous ones which were outlit by candles!
 
They look fine actually - thanks for the pic.

I thought it would have been a mirror shiny reflector and really clear glass like on more modern cars.

Min arrived today - just standard halogens. Still, gor to be better than what i've got at the mo.
