Miss Kitty - 1965 Jaguar S-Type 3.8 RHD

[DevilDog]

Rob,
Yes, my sealed beams are gone. Only one works completely. The other, low beam only. Fogs dead.

Glyn,
Mine is RHD....what does pilot and no pilot mean and which do I want on the Jolly Rodgers site.

Would these work for the fog lights: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lucas-6-Seal ... 0008.m2219

Are these our original headlights: https://jollyrogersmotors.com/nos-lucas ... dlamp.html

As always, thanks for your help,

Joe looking at those fog lamps I would say they would not fit. The FT6 Lucas sealed beam is supposed to be a 6 inch bulb but I have just measured the size of my spares and they are actually less than 6 inch. The outer section including the chrome surround is 6 inch but it seems the sealed beam is only 5 1/2 or 5 3/4 wide. Try measuring your own as I cannot get to my sealed beam without pulling all the chrome ring off.

Joe ~ you must be very careful here. Your car might be RHD but you are driving it on the RHS of the road so you need headlights for a LHD car that dip to the right. (That sealed beam from Rogers you show is for RHD & will dip to the left)

This is the correct H4 for US use. https://jollyrogersmotors.com/store/p/4 ... r-New.html

Some lights for countries like Germany have a pilot light built into the headlight & the sidelights disconnected by law. You want LHD H4's if you go that route with no pilot light.

Those sealed beams on Ebay that you show might fit but are unlikely to have the correct throw for a fog lamp. As Rob points out the FT6 is less than 6" across.

This unit is correct. Just remove the sealed beam & throw away the casing.

OK, purchased the headlamp from Jolly....thanks Glyn. Bought the pair you recommended. Also made an offer on the fog light. Too bad he only has one. I asked him if he could get me another one.
Rob/Glyn.....thanks for all the help.

Here is another one Joe at a half reasonable price with correct FT6 sealed beam. I've got used to searching for poorly listed items.

Make them confirm that the sealed beam is working before purchase.

Sent him a request....thanks.

Back to the Brake Servo. Here is mine. Where does the yellow, white, and red circled connections get sorted in the attached photo. Want to get this right. Looks to me like I do not need the banjo or banjo bolt. Sorry for being such a pain in the ass.

I scrapped the hopeless sealed beam headlights & fitted Lucas H4's with Xenon lamps in them.

Do you have to use a ballast for the Xenon lamps? If so, I hope Jolly Rogers includes them. If not, where do you get the right ones?
Thanks,

No ballasts/ignitors required. These are just Xenon filled bulbs.

Yellow to vacuum supply
White to brake master cylinder
Red to main braking circuit front & rear via connector block with brake pressure switch.


That is a replacement booster for the original & does not need the vacuum banjo bolt.
