Lebro Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 That price is for 1 off kit (you would need 2). The bulbs I can highly recommend, the lamps - I don't know, but This company usually sells good stuff. There are some Valeos here - but expensive: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-Cibie-7-HEADLAMPS-60-55w-Main-Dip-RHD-for-Austin-Maxi-1977-81-as-082441/332999303044?hash=item4d884e1f84:g:7m0AAOSwyhBcZov8 Bob.

AndyR100 Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 I think it may be worth double-checking on the phone - I also interpreted the Classic Car LED offer as being for a pair, the price drop-down lists a single as an option. if it is for a pair it is an attractive offer (about the same as that offered by the MGOC) ......

DaveB66 Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 Hi, I have the Classic Car LEDs fitted to both my TRs, albeit fitted into the H4 headlamps already on the cars, and I can recommend them. Need to make sure you set the beams correctly though. Demon Tweeks have Cibie/Valeo headlamps for sale at £72.82 for a single one if you need them. Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I spoke to them yesterday to discuss this and another matter and they were most helpful. Sadly the prices are ex vat Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lebro Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 OK, good news, that is a very good price for lamps & bulbs. Bob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ocheye Posted January 8, 2020 Report Share Posted January 8, 2020 I can confirm that the price was for a pair! I've placed my order and will report my progress although it is fair to say that I don't have a great deal to compare with as my Wipac Quadoptics are pretty useless. I have also ordered a pair of led stop/tail lights for increased safety. On the 'classic car leds' facebook page there is an old discount code which still works, giving a 5% discount. This code is UKA5YYP48SBD and is applied when you are completing an on-line order. Good to know. Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ocheye Posted January 9, 2020 Report Share Posted January 9, 2020 Arrived today. Less than 20 hours. They look the part. How they perform remains to be seen. Won't be working outside today, the weather is foul here in Cumbria. We had some snow earlier on! Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stillp Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 If you think these are expensive... my daily driver is a 2015 Focus. Going out today a message popped up on the dashboard saying there was a headlamp malfunction. Popped into the local dealership who said that when changing from dip to main beam there's a flap that should operate, and it's stuck. Cure is a complete new HID headlamp assembly, at £868! Even the garage staff were amazed. Off to try to find a local autoelectrician tomorrow in the hope of finding a more acceptable price. Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stillp Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 That's about what I said Iain, although I may have added an adjective. There were a few pence as well. Strangely the nearside one is £9 cheaper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ocheye Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Haven't had a chance to set them up properly but so far I'm well pleased with the classic car led replacements. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RogerH Posted January 11, 2020 Report Share Posted January 11, 2020 Hi Pete, there must be a Ford Focus forum. Hunt it down and ask the question. I bet somebody has done it. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
