Andy,

Any way of grafting your spare Monza lights to the front of your Omega?

Yeah, I wish :y The other thing about the Monza lights was, when you went onto main beam you had four bulbs on as there was a combined dipped/main lamp and a long range lamp and they were both adjustable individually as well. Ah, those were the days!

I'll try the stanley knife approach and see how I get on. That'll keep me going maybe until I can get some HID's as I think that's the way to go.

Humpy


Keep harping on about the Monzas please! Didn't realise you were on here as well Stuart, small world....

Well, thanks to Chris Mutant Cav's help, I can see :D Got them fitted today but had to wait for some darkness to see what they look like. They need adjusting but they're a sight better than what I had :y

PS Don't the main beam look yellow in comparison!

Well I managed to get my old headlights apart earlier and took the plastic adjusters out (which are still intact) and I will be attempting to put them in my projectors at the weekend if not sooner. So the idea is to heat up the lens to soften the mastic goo and the lenses should then come apart with ease?

As an aside, you know those little RHD/LHD levers inside the headlights, which way should they be for RHD? I think one of my lamps may be the wrong way round :)
