I’m looking for replacement units for my sealed beam headlights on my 72 4/4. CurrentIy I have a Lucas 7285 on the drivers side and a Lucas’s 7608 on the passenger side. I understand that I’ll need to fit the bowls and lamps separately but am finding that the internet is getting too clever for me. When I put in the model details I seem to draw a blank on the appropriate parts.
Grateful if anybody can tell me which parts will fit.
Many thanks
Mark

John,
Thanks, but we’ll be in France next weekend, and to be legal I need to carry a replacement for the units with me.

Mark Spare bulbs aren't legal requirement and please don't waste your money on carrying a breathalyser.

The RAC disagrees with you, the AA says it’s “recommended” to carry spares.
If I can’t get spares in time I’ll plead the AA interpretation if necessary!
I do want to upgrade the headlights - the original spec is pretty dim.
