ZB LT Sedan 4 cylinder 2 Litre Petrol Turbo
I am hoping to get advice. I have as members know the ZB LT sedan 4 cyl 2 litre petrol turbo.
The headlights are adequate, but not as bright as I would like. They are not the Xenon lights.
Can I get brighter headlights or top quality globes to make improvements without' surgery'.
I realise that I can't retrofit Zenons
Thanks guys
Terry

What size are the gloves in your ZB?
You can easily buy brighter globes for most sizes that are road legal, check the packaging says ADR approved.
Some plus 50 or plus 90% globes should be a big improvement.

Headlights are totally inadequate for night country driving, even with the height was adjusted up.

Hey Tezza ! This is what I wrote about the ZB headlights nearly a year ago.
You ****canned my opinions. Now you are looking for brighter lights. LOL !!!!!
Looking forward to more of your abuse and rants.

Do you recommend any business in Vic?

I order most of my bulbs from England but Repco is worth a look when they have their half price bulbs weekend. I bought a pair of plus 90 Repco globes for a friend to replace the old yellow **** globes he had last year and he still raves about them. They're made in Korea and quite decent. What size are your headlight globes though??

Head light globes are like tyres, you need to buy the size that fits your car headlights. It would be written in the owners book or stamped on the headlight assembly somewhere. It could be H7, H9 or something like that.
When you know what size you need to buy then you can start shopping for some brighter globes.

You don't need to measure them. The globes come in specific sizes, i.e. H4, H7 etc.

Your owner's manual should give you details of the globe fitted to the car.
