Mini H4 Halogen Headlight Conversion Kit
Headlights and Conversion from Sealed Beam units to Halogen Units

 

The original Mini from 1962 was fitted with the sealed beam unit. This was in fact just a big bulb incorporating the lens, element and back reflector as a sealed unit. As time progressed the halogen bulb was introduced. This was a more modern way of producing electric lighting which burned whiter and brighter giving much better visibility. The classic Mini adopted the H4 halogen headlight units around 1990.

It is possible to convert the early Minis to halogen headlights with the use of a H4 halogen headlight kit which contains all the items required to convert from the original Mini sealed beam units. Other items such as the Mini headlight chrome outer rims, the headlamp chrome inner rims, the headlamp bowls and headlamp adjusters remain the same as the ones used with the original sealed beam units.

There are 2 designs and size of headlamp retaining rim. The early one, 18mm deep was used with the original Lucas half inner bowl. The later one, 16.3mm deep, was introduced with the  Cooper SE and Minis from 1990 using the quadoptic lights. The Wipac plastic  headlamp bowl, which will fit the sealed beam and quadoptic headlamp units as well, has the later rim and the whole unit is a simpler design all together.
