100w bulbs but you will need to get ceramic bulb connectors as the old
Probe ones burn out

I have LEDs in my TR7, but unless you pay decent money for then, they are crap, I think I paid £160 for a pair of H4s
also if the car is post 1986 they are, strictly speaking illegal

LED headlights dazzle me and give me a headache but when you are behind the wheel they don’t seem that good and what a cold uncomfortable light. Should be banned or de intensified in my opinion.

If you're after just bulbs I got
these, relatively cheap and quite a nice colour compared to standard yellow-ish halogen

Don't forget to solder on 2 of
these too as the old connectors are pretty naff
