My left head lamp is working on full but not on dimmed, where's the best place to get another one? Are they available in standard dealers at all or is there any good online source? I couldn't find much by typing the number on it in online '100-1103N'. Also what's the life on these normally like? Should I be considering LED? Thanks
If you've got an original sealed unit you can replace them but they are becoming obsolete. You can buy a conversion kit that allows the bulbs to be replaced. Some of the kits are made in India and the quality is crap. The conversion allows a standard 472 bulb to be fitted. They're not expensive, check Craddocks or Paddock's website's.

I bought these which match one of my lights which is starting to go and the other side was a flat Autopa unit which wobbled in its housing so wanted to replace it anyway: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Classic-7...629830?hash=item41a6a3d846:g:80kAAOSwmmxW6XcA
The lens is domed which looks in keeping and the bulbs can be replaced. You can specify if you want the unit with or without the sidelight option.

Great thanks. Is it worth going LED? I also was thinking of adding some lights, maybe this is the time to do the whole lot? I wanted a reverse light, and also some spotbeams on the front. Are there LED kits that would have all of that and should it hook into existing wiring easily enough?

I wanted to go LED for the headlights but the H4's I bought didn't work and I gave up in the end and just went for the +100% or more standard halogens. I've looked at the ones with integral fans but they just get a bit too steep on price and I'm told the beam pattern isn't right so you may fail an MoT so wasn't worth the risk. I did go LED for sidelights and these are much brighter and whiter. I've got additional LED lights on the bumper (not sure if you can see from the profile picture) and these work well - fitted by teh previous owner.

You'd have to fit relays to ensure they work properly.
