Hi Blas,
Regarding lighting upgrade, just last week I upgraded from the SPF supplied bulbs to LED. I am told the bulbs are out of a Yamaha motorcycle. It took them about 10 to 15 minutes to do, and they appear at least 50 percent brighter. They are the R2 model

These are the LED bulbs I used in my last car
SPF headlight bulb and fog light bulb
I have been looking at old threads for this information, but most of the threads are really old. Does anyone know what the current Bulb's are for the Headlights and Foglights. You would think for the money we spend on these cars the Owners Manual would actually be worth a shit. lol Come on...

Interesting. I did some experimenting with my Lucas Flamethrower Driving lights a while back. Found that swapping out the original incandescent bulb with a different style bulb lost the pencil beam focused light beam and made it operate more like a flood lamp. Very difficult on oncoming cars. I think the original bulb had a 360 pin point of light a calculated distance from the focal point of the silvered reflector. The new bulbs I tried did not have a 360 degree light pinpoint, and the light source was not the same distance from the reflector… hence the “BRIGHT” floodlight. I shimmed the bulb to get the light source in the sweet spot of the reflector and rotated the bulb to get the best light pattern more like the original pencil beam. Have you tried looking at you headlights at night from a distance? Have one original bulb and one newer style bulb in place. Bright is great, glare blinding was not.
Just a suggestion….
Thanks. Blas

Thanks. Blas
Should be added . Technical service bulletins if any ( Mk3 cobra does ) , maintenance by mileage checklist for chassis, steering, and suspension. Life expectancy of chassis wear items. This is a high maintenance car and people should be fully informed.
Thank you for posting this manual link! First beer's on me!! Dave
Well, then I hope you will be at the 60th anniversary
