Headlight question

[Tpawarrior]

Will these headlights fit the Mark 3?

All Roadsters use a 7-inch headlight, so in that regard they will fit. All Roadsters also use the same plastic bucket, headlight mounting and trim ring. No way to know if they would fit without direct knowledge, which I personally don't have. Can't tell from the pictures alone. They might fit around the front mounting, but then be too deep for the stock buckets, but again can't tell. Looks like these would require some special wiring for the turn signals, DRL's, etc. Can't comment about that either.

Now whether they "fit" on a Roadster or not, I guess that's a matter of opinion.

TPA-

I don't find them particularly ugly as some others suggested. I am not sure it fits the same styling as your typical Cobra replica however. Although, my thoughts are tied to just how well they work. If they work well, and throw off the light you need to see safely -- and better than stock, then go for it. If you use the halo for a DRL, that has benefits as well. I think these style lights are very flexible in that regard.

I do not have first hand experience with them, which is how I should have started my note. Good luck with your choice!

I've used these on a Jeep:

They worked great with standard H4 bulbs (nothing HID or crazy wattages that some try to use). The difference was very evident in the light pattern vs. the sealed beam light that came from the factory with the Jeep. They are the same size as the sealed beam bulb and simply replaced that item without any interference with the Jeep's trim rings or adjustment bezel. These are on my list for upgrades after I pass a state inspection as they are not DOT, but rather E-Code (Euro-spec).

Perfect. Thank you everyone for your responses.

I found these online. Does anyone have any experience with them?

I've run Hellas. Usually with city lights and the European spec / E-Code not DOT. Excellent lights. There aren't as many H4 bulb options as there used to be but the "Plus" lamps worked well and provide great light.

+1 on the Hella E-Code housings (see my previous post in this thread). I used Sylvania Silver Star Ultra bulbs (9003 - HB2 - H4) (https://www.amazon.com/SYLVANIA-SilverStar-Halogen-Headlight-Contains/dp/B0012ETJ1O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1483659451&sr=8-1&keywords=sylvania+9003+hb2+h4) with great results. Given the exact same bulb, the reflector is what makes the difference. The E-Code reflectors have a much better light pattern than any DOT reflector I've seen.

The thing I liked about these lights is that they are DOT compliant and look more like the original.

One of the best benefits of buying stuff like this through Amazon is that they are great about returns. If you don't like them, send them back and try something else. All you are out is the shipping if the item is returned because you simply changed your mind.

Been using the Lucas blue shield Tri Bar conversions since the beginning. Worked well no install issues. Interesting IMHO look for an old car.
