Thanks Steve and Simon,
I wish i could post the unit/converter like you but I can't.The headlight unit is completely different from your mates I shouldn't have been so greedy and stayed with something like that!¬,My LEDS will be hard up against the old reflector glass I intend keeping the old glass, minus the reflector,they are called projecter leds!,the unit is advertised for US jeeps,a nice well made and sealed jobby,the converter this time is idiot proof with over voltage and short protection and recovery modes was 20 quid the headlight 44 quid + the unit I burnt out 6 quid,as i said the reflector was shot and I would of had to buy a H4 etc The dip pattern is a 5 line strip the full beam a cluster so I suppose I should check to see if the glass lenses make much difference pressed up to them! Yes I think you are right I will just power up the headlight with this one, the shortest run of wiring and converter bolted to the rear mudguard as a heat sink,and I will switch it with 6volt relays so I can keep the main switch also for dip/main so the wires won't have to go to the dip switch,well that's the theory
I will have to do a little panel beating on the headlamp shell but it's not much, a couple of mills and it fits easily into the rim,It looks much better with the original glass in place. bill
