Electrics: 140: - 142S headlamp question

Sep 28th, 2006, 05:31

Hi all,

I just bought a 1968 142S today for $200 CAD. Runs pretty good and has some rust on the body. I really like it.

I need to find a headlamp for it so I can get it inspected for insurance here in Canada. I finally found a headlamp online after 45 minutes of googling at www.donsbulbs.com for $42 USD ($22 if I buy 2) but that seems pretty extreme for a bulb.

What do 140 owners do? Do people convert their headlights to a different system so that they don't need these old bulbs?

Much thanks, and sorry if this gets asked all the time.

Regards,
Dustin

We do halogen conversions for these.

Hi,

Thanks for that. I finally found a bulb locally so I ordered a few of those. A halogen conversion sounds like a really good idea though. I'm going to queue that up with all the other things I'm hoping to do.

Regards,
Dustin
