Suggestions for a DTRL or small side lamp please.

Bryanj:
Just fit a UK reflector instead of the US sealed beam, all the wiring is there for the sidelight you just need the bulbholder

As you know if It needed an MoT it would fail without a sidelight  -  I have no window in my headlight for a sidelamp my DTRL will effectively double as a sidelight - for now I've ordered a cheapish  DTRL of a type I've used before 12 watts & a tad over 2.5" square - £8.66 - they have SS fittings & alloy lamp case. Might swap it out in the future for something neater when I see one.

Well, a 7" Hella headlight (H4 + 5W) comes for under € 30,- over here...
Lower price + keeping the original appearance...  ???

Johnny4428:
Thanks Bryan, yes I’d probably swap it out just to keep it on the right side of road worthy although it’s an historic vehicle and won’t be MOT’d.

Yours for postage if you want it mate ;)
