Toddy 7 Posted January 2, 2009 Do people have any preference to using either Valeo or Lucas headlights as the reflectors are a different shade?, also Valeo seem to break easily where they attach to the indicator unit? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Last Legend 0 Posted January 3, 2009 Never had a Valeo headlamp attachment break on me yet and I used to be one of the OCD people that would remove my headlights to clean behind them when I was doing concours!(still worth doing annually to check for rust) Dont think its up to the level on concours where they check the headlamp brand yet, if that was a concern? Lucas light used to have 'shiner' reflectors but I don't think this is the case anymore,maybe someone whos bought from them recently could chime in? The other OE brand was something like 'Melie'.

pug_ham 240 3 Cars Posted January 4, 2009 I've had both Lucas & Valeo fitted to my 205's over the last couple of years & haven't ever had a Valeo one snap where they mount to the indicator either. Can't say I ever noticed any difference is the quality of light emitted by either one but I never ran with them mixed iirc so it wasn't a direct comparison of the two (different cars etc) but I tend to go for Valeo.

Rom 0 Posted January 4, 2009 I put new Valeo lights in when i got my car. They have been in and out at least 5 times and nothing broken so far One has started to condensate though, but ive had them almost 3 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
