79 Brat Headlights

[Wuki]

I've been looking to upgrade the headlights on my brat but I am unsure what exactly I will need to get the job done. What I want to do is make it more like a modern headlight where I have the the headlight assembly and a replaceable bulb. I found some that might work but I don't know if they will work for a 4 headlight setup.

I would appreciate anyones opinion.

I was planning on getting some BMW projector headlights from a late 80's model (can't remember which ones right now) since they are roughly the same size. I believe you'll have to modify the core support a bit to make the buckets fit as they are larger then the factory. Hopefully that helps a bit for an upgrade!

I looked up the BMW lights and if it's possible to fit those in then that would be awesome. Do you know of anyone who has done that conversion?

 

I did some more looking and found these.

What do you think?

I currently have some cheaper ebay "projectors" in my XT6 and they're nowhere near powerful enough at night. It might not be as easy to swap in the BMW projectors or even source them up from a wrecking yard but I personally would do that kind of swap myself. It also gives you better housings then the ebay lights and you can even do an HID upgrade to them fairly easily.
