Hi,

Is like to swap the rectangular headlights for the double rounds on my 86 xjs.

Would have some suggestions on the best place to find the round lights ( preferably that also can use LEDs but the quality is the priority)
Also, I've noticed that the chrome paint on the plastic around the lights is peeling.

Do the new lights come with that piece or do I need to hunt that down as well?

Im in eastern Canada (Toronto)

Thanks!

 

Where are you located? I am interested in doing the opposite swap. My quad headlights are in very nice condition. Send me a PM if you're interested.

It would help people to help you if you let us know where in the world you are . l'm guessing US from the big bumper and you don't have a front plate....

 

AH! Lol clearly new to this. Thans for the tip and the link!
I'm actually in Canada 😄 but I think there will be some things I won't find here too easily

 

FWIW, I bought the trim rings and mounting frames from a guy who was breaking an '88 (I think) here in the US. For the lamps themselves, I bought Hella 288-002850031 (H4) for the dip / main (have an extra 'positioning' / side light) and 002425811 (H1) for the mains only. for bulbs, I went with Philips X-treme Vision.
We also added a beefier power wire down to the front of the car, with a fuse box and additional relays (relays and wiring kit from Moss).
Cheers!

 

I have a number of four light set ups. You'd have to source the bezels. I have two good bezels, but they are for my car. Send me a private message if interested.

 

Thanks for that! Ive heard the lights can be a little dim so ill look into the fuse and power box as well!
