Headlamps

Rare original 7.7-inch headlamps, correct for Bentley R-type and Mark VI. These are in good original condition. One is nicer than the other but both are suitable for a driver or to restore for a show car. These lamps are hard to find. We bought these from an older gentleman in England. Bulbs are available from us; we will include a pair of LHD or RHD bulbs, as the buyer prefers.

This is a pair of refurbished original headlamp buckets or bowls for a Jaguar XK140, XK150, Mark VIII or Mark IX. They are in used condition, clean and complete with excellent chrome retaining rims and new wiring pigtails, as shown in the pictures. They have been blasted to bare metal, repainted and fitted with new adjusters as needed. They are in excellent condition, as the pictures show. These bowls are unusual, larger than the standard Lucas 7-inch headlamp buckets used in most British...

This is a very rare pair of new old stock inner headlamp rims for Jaguar XK140, XK150, Mark VIII and Mark IX (Mk. VIII and Mk. IX). They were stored for decades. These rims are close to perfect condition, with one or two very tiny flaws in the chrome. They are the original heavy spun brass, beautifully chrome plated with the old bluish Rhodesian chromium that the British motor industry used in the fifties and sixties.The price is more than a set of reproduction rims, but these are truly...

Most older British cars did not come equipped with headlamp relays. The advantage of a relay is that much more current gets to the lamps, meaning much brighter lighting, as well as a greatly reduced current draw through the lighting switch, so the switch will last a lot longer. We strongly recommend this kit for any British car built before about 1980. It comes complete with two relays, inline fuse, correct color code wires, and instructions for installation.Be safe and be seen! ...

This a beautifully-made reproduction headlamp rim for an Austin-Healey 100-6 or 3000 and Volvo P1800. It is made of chrome-plated brass, as original, and polished nicely. The details are all correct, including the rivet at the top of the rim and the drain hole at the bottom.These rims are sold individually.

We sell a lot of headlights for the classic British cars we cater for. Many of those are particularly classy, distinctive and unusual. But when our customers ask us for the best lights they can get for their classic, the answer is an unequivocal "Hella H4s." We run these in our own cars and we feel they are simply the best, very bright with a nice, sharp cutoff on low beam. They have flat glass, which is pretty cool, but their best feature, in our opinion, is how much illumination they...

This is a very nice refurbished original 2-adjuster headlamp/headlight bucket/bowl assembly, complete with bulbholder, inner chrome retaining rim and adjusters and a new wiring pigtail. It's a Lucas F700 MK X for 7-inch headlamps. It is correct for just about every British car made with twin headlamps from about 1959 until 1985 or so, including Sprite, Midget, MGA, MGB, Austin-Healey, Jaguar, Land Rover, Daimler, Triumph TR and Spitfire, Rover, Hillman, Sunbeam, Mini, Austin, Morris, Morgan,...

This is a PAIR of used original RHD Lucas sealed beam headlamps, as used on most British cars in the 1960s and 1970s. We have several pairs of these lamps, all tested and working. These are RHD, meaning the low beam dips towards the left. Which might be a problem with a modern eye-burning lamp as used in most cars today, but with a tungsten sealed beam lamp, the odds of dazzling an oncoming vehicle are slim to none. Oncoming drivers will be grateful that you aren't driving an SUV with a...

This is our last 7-inch right hand drive (RHD) Lucas sealed beam headlamp/headlight.  It has a light socket in the back for an extra light. These were fitted to most British cars of the 1960s through early 1980s with twin 7-inch round headlamps. This is set up for right-hand-drive cars, that is, it dips to the left on the low beam. Technically, this is not legal for driving on the right hand side of the road, but the odds of blinding an oncoming motorist with a tungsten lamp like...

TEMPORARILY OUT OF STOCK AS OF OCTOBER 2024This is a pair of brand new old stock (NOS) right hand drive (RHD) Lucas 700 bulb-type headlamps, 7 inches in diameter, the standard size for most twin-headlamp cars. They are new, unused old stock, probably made in the 1960s. The pair in the pictures is sold, but we often have similar pairs in stock.  Please contact us for current options.  These lamps are correct for right-hand drive cars, but they would certainly work on a LHD car,...
