Wipac Crystal bowls
Put on a pair of Wipac crystal headlamp bowls, with stronger bulbs. Dipped beams a lot better, plus they don't look bad either.

Unfortunately I lost my wedding band in the process. Embarassed Big Cry I placed it on the bumper as I was doing some work (kept getting caught and hitting the bowl), and forgot to put it back on. Drove away about 20 minutes later, wasn't until I came back that I realised what I'd done Big Cry

Also forgot to add that the other forum posters are spot on about the headlamp surrounds. Rusty! Mine looked like they were off a 30-year old car.

I know it sounds obvious, but have you had a look back from where you set off for your ring? I'm guessing yes, but if not, give it a go! I did something very similar (but on pillion seat of motorcycle), went back to my starting point and started looking (granted, at walking pace), and I found it 20-30 yards up the road....couldn't believe it!.

Give it a go matey, you never know! Good luck though.


How much brighter are the Wipac bowls over standard, by the way? Mark

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm still looking!

The new bowls are nice though, light up the road a bit better than previous ones.
