I also use Hella Halogen lamps. I will have to say that they do dray more
power than the stock lamps and you may find that as I did you might need to
upgrade your alternator to handle the extra draw.

Subject: Re: [TR] Headlamps
I use the Hella H4 headlights (Moss sells them their # 902-969) that I
took off of my Porsche. I use ultra white bulbs (with a little blue
to help my old eyeballs). The Hella H4 lens put the light on the
road&, not in people's eyes. When I had them on my 911 in Florida, I
would drive down country roads trough the swamps with brights on using
very high wattage bulbs (did not want to hit a deer). On occasion, I
would forget to dim them for on-coming cars & very seldom ever got
flashed.
I should say that the other thing that really helped my headlights on
the TR3 was Dan Master's wiring system!!! Heavy wires using relays
significantly help put the light out the front of the car!
