GQ headlights

Post by offroadbiker »

I need a new set of GQ headlights for the Troll.
Think someone said that the Defender's lights would fit?

Any other options out there?

Yippp - off to MIDAS -- and buy the lights over the Countre -- The Golf lights do fit BUT you must MAKE it fit .. the lugs and clamps dont fit straight up

Just buy the housing [glass] unit and replace .. and use a decent globe [H4] set :-)

Dirk,
There are many options.
If you want serious light , go for a very expensive HID kitt.

I have found that the Hella kitt you can buy over the counter at any Midas works the best. It fits and Hella is good quality. Avoid the cheap Chinese options.

Groetnis
Chris.

Need to replace the entire light as they are no longer "usable" after filling them up with water and mud :redface:

Dis presies wat ons jou probeer vertel =--Kry die HELLA h4 eenheid by MIDAS -- dit is die hele lig, sonder globe ..
OF as jy wil preuts wees, kry die "sealed unit" soos wat hulle op die HUMMER sit ... dan het jy kerslampies om n sexy atmosfeer te skep :-)

Nehou die fitting - kry die nuwe glas en reflector -- dit "twist & turn" met sulke hakies .. eezy peezy,, tot hirri outppi knol kan dit doenb :-)
[Het vir THOR nuwes ingesit, dit was R480 stel gewees [MAAR dis MY prys, sal jou meer kos]

Dirk, nie dat ek se jy moet hulle nie vervang nie (aangesien die hoofligte een van die swakste punte van die GQ is), maar ek haal myne gereeld uit om die modder en water uit te was?
Mag ons ons kenniskry met lekkerkry aanhoukry.
