There must be an automotive headlight that fits the S3. It is a 5 3/4" headlight using an H4 bulb (55/60Watt). Does anyone know offhand waht headlight part #/application it is?

Conversely, how much does Triumph charge for a replacement. Got a crack last month riding thru road construction (Caution, loose chips next 10 km).

What you want are a set of Adjure Ice headlights.

You'll be amazed at the difference that good headlight lenses will make for visibility.

Try buying them from eBay for the best deal.

Before shelling out the cash on a set of Adjure Ice headlamps go with a pair of Silverstars bulbs. I noticed a big difference over stock just by switching bulbs. PIAAs would be better, but I don't have that kind of money laying around to spend like $50+ per bulb.

I later went with the Adjure Ice headlamps and have to say they look a lot better than the stock 'frosted' lenses, although I didn't notice much of an improvement in light quality and spread. I think the frosted lenses help broaden the spread of light, but limits the distance of projection, while the Ice's have good intensity and distance, but sacrifice a bit of the spread.

Go with a set of Silverstars bulbs first. You can't beat the improvement at such a cheap price. Then, if you really want to swap out headlamps have at it.

just read some info on T595 net regarding this. The Osram Silverstars H4s are highly recommended by many and are 'plug & play' . here's a link provided by some fine bloke... $28 per set. i googled and could find only one other source for price comparo, but this seems a fair deal...

Thanks, I was on custom dynamics website the other day and thought that their ice headlamps might be a good alternative. My problem with just switching bulbs is that one of the lenses on my headlights are cracked...

I have an extra lens I can sell. Believe it will fit. Mine is an '02 S3. Email me if interested.

Do you just need the lenses to do this conversion? I see a few listings for the lense only.
