WLDRX2 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 So a mate has us signed up to go to the Kaikoura hop this year, should be good, apart from the fact that the headlights on the commodore are absolute shit. Thanks to the random headlight shape, what options are there for an upgrade ? Not expecting greatness, but anything has to be better than factory. Options ?

AllTorque Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 How do the reflectors look? Put some relays in and some plus 50 bulbs. ...or Trans Am front. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfoot Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Decent bulbs and wire in relays for full voltage to bulbs will make a huge difference 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I put some 100/90w bulbs into my escort as the headlights were garbage, made it heaps better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WLDRX2 Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Reflectors are sweet, not that you would know it by the light output. Looks like new bulbs and relays it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kws Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Just remember HID and LED bulbs are a no go too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WLDRX2 Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Any recommended brands of bulbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I have seen dual round headlights mounted in the holes and headlight covers over the top. Looked surprisingly legit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit over $80 of a pair. Bloody good improvement. don't draw much extra current either ~10% 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 FWIW Repco have some specials on globes this weekend. Quite a few 50% off. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Everything mentioned is awesome. Also make sure your lenses are properly clean and clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Housings are massive you could tuck some portable suns like my VW Has up in there ( the whole headlight unit) probably wouldn't be too noticeable if they were tucked well back in the VK housing. My vx commy had ghastly dim headlights LEDs went in and it was brilliant past its wof with them in too, i know above said nope to them so only an opinion i guess.

WLDRX2 Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 Will be dragging it's poor old ass out of the shed tomorrow, so will have a play around. Cheers for all the advise guys. Kind of keen to keep this one as og as possible, so not likely to go chopping up the headlights on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
