Not too long ago there was a conversation going about installing brighter headlamps on MGBs. Can someone please give me some info about the standard lamps and the better lamps (cost, positives / nega

Cibie, Hella, and others have 7" round headlights available which would fit the B. Unfortunately, most of those are illegal in California (because they have a roughly 3/4 circle beam pattern). One or

For decades I have noted the caveat, "illegal for street use in California" in descriptions of accessory auto lights. I understand why California might want stricter emission regulations but, headlig

Russ Wilson asked curiously: Sometime in the early '80's, an authorized Hella and Cibie vendor and installer (Pat, late of Octagon) told me that the reason given for not allowing halogen lights in Ca

In the early eighties I upgraded my 70BGT with whatI thought were halogens. GE made a product that was a sealed beam halogen. It said halogen on them. Would GE lie? Anyway the first time I took the c

Denise is right on this one! Heard the same story "about that time". You'll notice, however, that the OEM halogen bulbs being sold today have nice little red seals wrapped around them to get away fro

Had GE sealed beam halogens on my '85 CRX and the light they gave off was pitiful. They also seemed to burn out every second month. Replaced them with a set of Cibies which turned up the wick conside

If you do touch the quartz glass bulb with our skin be sure to wash it off with isopropal (rubbing) alcohol. I don't think this will help if you sit on concrete though. - -Mark = =o&o

I think the Cibie Z-Beams were/are illegal in the US. The Cibie Bobi's were/are the US-legal lights. Dave Williamson (silikal@aol.com)

I have a pair of Z-Beams on the shelf (from another car). Will the mgb wiring take the extra current of them? Has anyone tried them?

Hey, I had two Cibie Biodes (that's _two_ bulbs per lamp) wired into the '67 and the '71 B-GTs. The '67 also had a Raydyot Spot; the '71 had two Lucas Square 8s. The Biode hi beams and the spots were
