Hi
The nearside headlight on my 1983 110V8 has just failed. The workshop
manual says UK & Europe models have a 60/55W halogen bulb, whilst elsewhere
RHD has 75/50W sealed beam. On investigation, my 110 is fitted with a
60/45W sealed beam unit.
I believe my 110 is one of the very first 110s and may have been a
pre-production model or press demonstrator, so I'm not surprised that it's a
bit of a parts bin, but the question is what replacement lighting should I
fit? Ideally I would like to go for the 75/50 sealed beam, to give me a bit
more light - is the wiring likely to be able to take this and would I have
to do both headlamps or is just one OK?
Thoughts much appreciated.
Regards
Neil
