Kevin out of curiosity on the Lucas lights you running 576 or 7?? ?  I have been running the 700 lights. They seem to throw a good amount of light onto the highway better than the classic lights p throws 105. I know there has to be some good classic lights to use which I too will use . Also check the legal stuff. Mine are OK to drive with only two spotlights and two fog lights. As long as they are not aimed into an oncoming cars passenger compartment they are legal. And since I drive a Mini I don’t have to worry about that as I’m lower than most other peoples passenger apartments.. I can’t remember what it says about my roof mount spotlight. Probably the same thing about not directed into oncoming cars passenger compartment which seem to be the big thing.Sorry about the numbers on the lights it’s been so long that I can’t remember.

To have more light output you want halogen bulbs in any light, even your stock headlights. BUT, you will need to add relays to be able to handle the extra current so as not to burn up the stock headlight switch or wiring. There are relay kits made for british cars that match the proper wiring colors and plugs so making them plug and play. https://mossmotors.com/headlight-relay-kit msclkid=c6dac5b1fa711d6e6b3f9a1954c25d28&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=NB_PLA_BritishShopping_2_BING&utm_term=4585169651213104&utm_content=Catchall%20British%20PLA

Hello All, I have tried to post a photo, but in case that doesn't work, here is what I'm after. I have a set of fog and driving lights (4 lamps) just like the Monte Carlo Minis. Four huge lamps that put out hardy any bloody light. Anyone one know what I can do to up the brightness? I am already running a GM alternator so think I can handle more draw. Halogen bulbs maybe? Anyways, tell me what you can please. Cheers, Kevin

How the hell do you post a photo......the instructions mean nothing to me. Thanks
