    Default ke70 quad light lamp dimensions

    Car- Flat front ke70

    Part- quad light lamp

    Problem- cannot find dimensions for the round lamps that fit these kits.

    I'm looking to do a quad light conversion on my ke70 and want to fit custom lamps but cant find what size the lamps are. Im guessing that they are about 5-7" in diameter, but this is only a guess. Would anyone be able to link me to where i could find these dimensions or perhaps measure up their own quads and let me know the size of the lamps?

    any help appreciated. (also forgive me if I've posted this incorrectly or in the wrong place, first post and all )

    5 3/4"

    i personally run these

    with narva +100 (still legal 60/55w) bulbs in the main outside lamps and 130w rally bulbs as a pair of spotlights in the inside lamps. With new wiring, fuses and relays. the light output is comparable with my ba falcon

    what ever lamps you get make sure they are semi sealed so you can replace the bulbs with good ones.

    Thanks for that. probably just saved me some moneys.

    Did you run into any trouble with the rewiring and new fuses and relays?

    i cut the plugs off the original headlights and used those wires to switch the coils on the relays.

    when looking at the plug from the front of the car the top pin is low, the right pin is common and the left pin is high beam (from memory). but id confirm with multimeter/ test lamp before you cut plugs off. if you get the high and common mixed up you will get high beam working properly but low beam will light up both filaments. so you get high beam and super high beam!

    you can get relays with inbuilt fuse holders in the top and get new h4 connectors as well. i run 4 relays, 2 low and 2 high incase a relay/fuse shits itself ive still got lights.

    i'll draw something up when i have time if you like

    i just did this for both sides. you will probably have to extend the switch wiring to get to the relays.

    you could do it with just two relays, one for high and one for low but if one relay shits itself then you lose either high or low completely. this way you still have some light.
    if your buying cable from the auto parts store get some thats good for 20 amps.

    fuse selection:

    Amps = power(watts)/volts

    so if you have 55w low beam and your alternator puts out 14.4v (in reality it probably doesn't anymore)
    then its 55/14.4 =3.8 amps so you would run a 7.5A fuse per side for the low beam

    high beam
    60w+60w for spotlight=120w
    120/14.4 =8.3 amps so run 10A or 15A fuse


    if your like me high beam is 60w+130w for the spotlights
    210/14.4 =14.58A so i run a 20A fuse
