[REDSC400]

The Halogen bulbs are nice and brite. I would go that route and stay with a standard wattage to protect your wiring.

Yes there are dramatic differences in the real Lucas PL 700's as shown in my pictures and the "clones" from Finish Line. I do have a spare pair of the Finish Line lites that came with my car. They have a flat lens rather than the convex lens of the Lucas. They also have a round black dot in the center vs the Lucas shield. There is no insignia on them whereas the Lucas has the Lucas name.

Be aware that the real Lucas PL 700's come in two variants. The left hand drive (for the USA) and the right hand drive (for England). If you use the right hand drive PL's here in the states, you will be spreading light into oncoming traffic. You can find PL 700's in BRAND NEW form at any good Morgan dealership and the PL 700 is still a common Morgan part fitment. These will come with bulbs as well. I was able to get mine from a Morgan dealer in NY State called Morgan Motors of New England in Ancram, NY. The pair came to about $300 total including shipping with bulbs and they were brand new. They arrived about 3 days after ordering them on the phone. You can look them up on the internet via Google. Nice folks.

No complaints on these lights. The fit perfectly in the headlamp bezel and frame. I get quite a few very very positive comments on them at car shows. They look real nice and are brighter than the Hellas which I was running. They are not original equipment on the Shelby 427 Cobra, as in the 1960's they were not DOT approved but were pretty much standard on the AC Cobras in England as well as the english XK series of cars and of course the Morgans.

The only real complaint is that they are not inexpensive.
