Roy, did you just simply swap your old lights for the Cibie's or did you need to make other mods (relays etc)??[/quote]

I did just simply swap them. No mods.

You really should use the Cibie Biode as there was, and (arguably) still is, no better 7-inch headlamp; check out my items 140473548447 (pair) and 140471378881 (one-spare) currently on eBay. The pair of Biodes listed have just been taken out of my Elan. I can advise on wiring, fitting of suitable (33RA) relays and provide wiring diagrams of the arrangement I've been using since 1975.

Elan Sprint since 1975 (also ex Europa Twin Cam and Elan +2 S 130/5)

All three-Biodes sold, the pair were only on eBay for 10-hours and the buyer paid asking price.

I tried for ages to buy a set of those back in the 70's but had to settle for Z beams. Too expensive for me now sadly.
