Does anyone know of a person/company that will overhaul the solenoids found in the Lucas L150 type headlights? These are the solenoids that move the reflector into "dipping" mode.
Thanks in advance,
Alistair

I Have done a few, there is not much too them, the coils are normally fine, the pins often missing but easy to machine from scratch, the "break "contact (for the swich and dip system where the o/s lamp goes out) may need new contacts especially on the 6v ones.. PM me if you want any help.

Cheers

Dave

Thanks for the reply. I have a wiring diagram and all looks pretty simple. I will bear you in mind should I encounter any problems.
