Hello
These are what I thought I bought... Says Wipac but does not show the side lights. http://www.paddockspares.com/rhd-crystal-h...r-w-o.html That's why I had to crimp to connect my side lights to these new ones built into the headlights. However your right it does not say wipac on the lens? should I be bothered? are they the same? It has a sort of 'i' at the top of the lens. They seem well made, happy with connections and rubber seal etc? You can just see it as the top in this picture.  Click image to enlarge My account lists the lights as these.. Rhd Crystal Halogen Hlamps Pair W/O RTC4615C ? I'm none the wiser but they do look good? just google searched and the same part number does show wipac lights? Wipac Crystal Halogen Head Lamps - Pair RHD- Excluding Bulbs - Britpart RTC4615C |

Run them until they fail, then replace with Wipac units.
They're Britpart, so it won't be long. |

^ why should they fail?
Seems odd the same part number lists Wipac also? If that's what I thought I bought I'm asking paddocks what the score is... Bit late as fitted...  |

Hi Stacey007... sorry I can't answer your questions, but someone will know. I was just curious about the branding on the box and wondered what the actual lights inside were.

Because Britpart are the market leaders in 'stuff that doesn't work'. I wouldn't worry too much, just be prepared to change them in due course.
Here is one of my Wipac crystals, been fitted about 3 or 4 years. As you can see it's rather scratched up so I might get another set. Click image to enlarge |

^ Its not good if on the paddock website it says Wipac and they send out a different make?
I've e-mailed them to ask. I guess at the price they are cheap which ever make you get around £15 to £18 per lens? I do like the side light feature in the headlight do the 'wipac' do this? |

^ I didn't
The H4 bulb uses the same connection as the old, the side light feature I just tapped into the small side lights and extended the wire on each side? Nothing else to earth? should there have been... |

Here is mine:
Click image to enlarge As with paint, careful cleaning them that your sponge or what ever is completely virgin. I.e. A new cloth or very clean sponge as being Polycarb they will scratch like that. But they are resistant to shattering or chipping unlike the Quadoptics which are glass.

^^^^ All I can say is the above link was what I purchased, as mine came from Paddock too. No Guts, No Glory.
