Title: Bosch/Lucas Headlights????? Post by: air-chief on February 26, 2002, 06:33:37 AM Hi All. Does anyone know around what date Holden stopped using Bosch headlights and started with Lucas? Or was it a simple thing of what was available at the time of production in each state. Any info will be appreciated. Regards air-chief 8) Title: Re: Bosch/Lucas Headlights?????

FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN ON FE AND FCS VANS UTES AND WAGONS HAD BOSCH HEADLIGHTS AND SEDANS HAD LUCAS. HOPE THIS HELPS. REGARDS ACE Title: Re: Bosch/Lucas Headlights?????

chuckle - chuckle According to the parts book Ace is mostly right. FE vans, wagons and utes had Bosch lights and FE sedans had Lucas lights - except for a few early utes assembled in Melbourne and Perth which had Lucas lights. But for FC, the parts book lists both Lucas and Bosch lights as standard equipment for all models. This applies to FB, EK and EJ for that matter as well so both lights would have run right through the entire FC range. So everybody is right !!!!!!!!! Ken |
