I just received the LED headlight kit from Little British Car Co this week, and will be installing them this weekend. I also have a set of Lucas reproduction aux lamps, one spot and one fog.

Unfortunately, those bulbs did not tolerate the vibration well, and started to fail from loose connections after a couple of years. I replaced them when I rewired the car a couple of years ago using six E10 screw base short round 1 LED, SKU 87965W, from LEDLight.com. I used 1 in the speedo and tach (though I considered drilling a second hole to use 2 in each), the fuel and safety gauges, and the trafficator indicator. I initially tried one in the generator lamp, but had trouble with that. I also have an ammeter under the heater control that required a fabricated setup using a couple of flat LEDs I got at the local electronics store.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Bruce Steele<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>Brea, CA<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;color:#1F497D'>1960 BN7<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Trebuchet MS",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif'> Healeys [mailto:healeys-bounces@autox.team.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Michael Oritt<br><b>Sent:</b> Wednesday, December 18, 2019 5:39 AM<br><b>To:</b> Austin Healey <healeys@autox.team.net><br><b>Subject:</b> [Healeys] Optimal lighting form a BN1<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#3333FF'>As a winter project I would like to upgrade my 100's lighting to provide for optimal brightness all around and would like to get on one piece of paper bulb recommendations to provide maximum lighting: Headlights, sidelights, twin 576 driving lights and dash lights.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#3333FF'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#3333FF'>Lighting fixtures are stock except that I have illuminated the rear reflector pods to function as turn signals which have plastic conical lenses<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#3333FF'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#3333FF'>In making recommendations please include relay recommendations and/or where wiring may need to be upgraded.
