I have fitted a halogen conversion are they any better?
They are better as the Angel Eye has a modern crystal reflector like modern cars?
But I have sealed beam headlamps will they fit?
Disconnect the connector on the back of your sealed beam lamp, fit a H4 bulb to the angel eye lamp and refit the connector, simple
How does the Halo work?
Two 5w wedge/capless bulbs are mounted in the lamp, these create the patented halo effect. The coloured covers fit over the 5w bulbs to change the colour of the light, so if a bulb fails you can go to your local bulb stockist and ask for a standard bulb instead of asking for a green 5w bulb.
How do they fit?
Remove outer chrome ring if fitted, remove old headlamp with inner chrome ring, remove inner chrome ring and fit to new lamp. Connect two wires from Halo to two wires for the sidelight in the headlamp bowl.
Are they legal?
They are not E approved, technically all lamps must be E approved. You can add a zero to the price if you wanted E approved lamps. Do you have rear clear lenses on your car if yes then they are ILLEGAL.
So they are not legal but can I still fit them?
The dipped beam on these lamps dips straight down so they can be fitted to Left or Right hand drive cars, the headlamp/halo light must be white. An MOT station may pass or fail the lamps. The police should be OK as none of them no the law regarding the E approval numbers.
