when you say dome globe backings do you mean the black buckets? I think EK are slightly different and need a bit grinding off to look like FE. I have spare FE Bosch buckets and trim rings (the part that holds the globe to the bucket) if you get stuck. Other than that you just need the 3 small metal plates and screws that hold the globe into the trim ring and you are set. I can post a photo over the weekend if this would help.. jon Title: Re: lucas to bosch headlight conversion Post by: coolaride on March 03, 2006, 11:46:21 PM hi Jonno

here is a pic of a Bosch set-up which I have put together for my ute. Pretty much all there I think apart from the rubbers which I have never found (the stuff of Legend...). I haven't included the headlamp surround as they are pretty much at every swap meet, and note this pic includes the new halogen globe which fits into the original fittings. You can also add a park light if you wish. Will send you PM regarding similar parts but thought it might be useful to post the pic here.. Jonno |
