autopal, Indian, and of course they drive on the correct side of the road and in many cases adopted similar standards to UK often due to the tooling coming originally from the uk .....

outer dipped with sidelight

May be a silly question, but as we've got (most of us Dave) a LHD car driving on roads usually inhabited by RHD cars, which variety should i fit?
I would have thought whether the car is LHD or RHD is irrelevant. I just need lights designed for use on the left side of the road.

Thats a good point Stu, I cant remember if I bought LHD or RHD???

Might be worth giving the chaps at Holden a ring, they know their stuff as I remember (unlike me!!) :D

The relay upgrade is easy, just stick to the wiring diagram that comes up in the Daniel Stern article :thumbright:

Something like this would do, or buy 2 seperate ones and wire them in yourself. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/H4-Headlight ... Sw~2hbxNFH

65 watt = 12 Volts x 5 amps there abouts


so i'd get one good for 10 amps for high beam and may as well keep it all the same, get one for low as well

most suppliers just label it a headlight relay

the numbers next to the connectors are kinda universal so wireing on the box and found on the internet should all match
