Bob Horner Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Hi all Im trying to source some cibie headlights. Looking at past threads 082441 seems to be the right part number but it seems they are no longer available. Ive ordered a couple of times only to find the order cancelled because they cant get hold of them. Ive got them on my TR4 and looking for some for my GT6. Any help appreciated. regards Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogerH Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Hi Bob, is this the sort of thing https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332999303044 Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Horner Posted October 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Hi Roger Yes but way too expensive!! Generally they used to be £50 each or less if on offer from Europarts. Ordered twice off ebay only for sale to be cancelled due to unavailabilty. That may happen here or perhaps these guys realise they are the only supplier with any stock!

BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) LED headlamps Now Sold Thanks to all who contacted me Peter W I have a pair of LED head lamp assemblies for sale if interested - I bought them fitted them and decided they just looked odd on a TR3. The light output is stunning, very wide on dip, intense on main. no sharp cut-offs like moderns though. I had to readjust the alignment for them after removing the old sealed beam units. They do not have 'e' marks and are for negative earth only - There is a TR6 around with a pair fitted + Land Rover Defenders, Jeeps, Catering 7s. 1500 Spitfires etc. I'll accept the price of a pair of LED H4 headlamp bulbs for them (£75.00) plus postage. They are as new & still in their original boxes. This is what they look like & are vertical dip - sold as USA spec Jeep. NB - The ones in the link are LHD (RH Dip) https://www.jgs4x4.co.uk/land-rover-defender-led-headlamps-headlight-upgrade-lhd-trucklite-phaser-7/ Cheers Peter W Edited October 16, 2019 by BlueTR3A-5EKT added vertical dip.

rogerguzzi Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Hello Bob I think these are what you are looking for About £68 with 15% discount (just wait for a 20% or better https://www.carparts4less.co.uk/p/aftermarket-headlamp-471930021 Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malcolm Tatton Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 This link to an earlier thread is still relevant The link in the first post still works and at the moment the discount code PAYDAY50 brings the price down to £46.89, but expires tonight. They have regular sale codes so no doubt another will be along in a day or two Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Horner Posted October 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Hi Malcolm I cant get that link to work - just goes to Whoops we cant find that page and searching using tr7 details says no products available. I'll try with a pc tomorrow rather than an ipad. Thanks for the offer Peter but like you I think I prefer something more old fashioned in terms of looks! Thanks for all your help.

Malcolm Tatton Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Hi Bob, How odd, I can't get the link to work this morning. I'm not sure whether the unit is the same but searching Land Rover Defender will bring up a 7" valeo. The PAYDAY discount code has gone now but I expect there will be a WEEKEND one on Friday!

Bob Horner Posted October 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2019 Just to follow up, I've sourced one in stock at a motor factors. However, it seems this lens has been discontinued so anyone who advertises stock online on the basis that they can source from the manufacturer/ distributor will not be able to source it unless they physically hold one themselves. It seems the side lighted version is still available (Demon Tweeks stock them). I would be interested if anyone has any other lens they can recommend - valeo/cibie or otherwise?

qkingston Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 would these be ok? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7-INCH-ROUND-HEADLIGHT-KIT-2-HALOGEN-HEADLIGHTS-2-PLASTIC-BOWLS-H4-XENON-BULBs/264519434734?hash=item3d969641ee:g:w68AAOSwePpdvXTu Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Can't vouch for how good Wipac lamps are, but they should fit OK. Note they have sidelights built into the reflectors, which may not be what you want. Bob. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Waldi Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 I have a set of these that came with the car when I bought it. Note the inner steel shroud that is fitted originally is not shown/supplied, apparently it can do without in this design. The bowls are plastic. Most important is you cannot fit old and new parts together. My old head lamp rims do not fit. I’m not saying it is a bad product, but make sure your rings will fit (or order suitable new ones).

qkingston Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) Ok so after extensive searching I've reached the same conclusion, the UK version of the 7" Valeos are out of stock (other than a couple of silly prices), so any recommendation for the next best alternative?

Ocheye Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) Has anyone got these and how do they perform? They're very reasonably priced. I've been advised to go for Cibie/Valeo or Hella and the former are very hard to find https://www.amazon.co.uk/Enfield-County-Sealed-Headlight-Seepage/dp/B01308DFNW.

According to the previous owner they are not very old Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andy Those are sealed beam, not H4 like the Valeo 82441. They're also LHD, so not for the UK, and branded "Enfield County", which is not a brand I've heard of and certainly not a UK brand. They are clearly not Hella, although they do mention "hella" in the description. Seems like a case of "passing off" to me. Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought they also did rhd but can't see that reference now. The lenses say Hella but There are a lot of fakes about. It is a minefield. I'll give them a miss.

I notice there's one review that says they do have separate bulbs, and that they are actually for RHD! Doesn't fill me with confidence. I bought a pair of ebay item 333348066553, made by Tudor, but haven't fitted them yet. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/7-H4-Halogen-Headlight-Headlamp-Single-Unit-Free-H4-55W-Bulb-RH-Drive-Only/333348066553?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ocheye Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 I've just about given up my search for cibie/valeo or hella lamps and am now considering biting the bullet and going for these (see below). I want to retain my dynamo and leds would be a good option otherwise I need good quality H4 sealed beam replacements, osram nightbreakers and relays and cable which would be not far off this price unless I go for cheapos. Thoughts anyone? https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk/products/sb7014-sealed-beam-to-h4-led-upgrade-kit-p43t-472-llb472-glb472-bulb-globe?_pos=25&_sid=4c4a87a81&_ss=r&variant=29530489159789 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
