For a RRC, I was reading this months Practical Classics mag & saw some in a kind of review. Anyone used
them, they are a direct replacement for halogen type lamps.
Any idea where I can buy two & how good they are etc?

IIRC Xenon is a halogen!

If Your specification is vague or imprecise, you'll likely get what you
asked for not what you wanted!
He who says it cannot be done would be wise not to interrupt her doing
it.

Yes xenon/halogen lamps from halfrauds and reputable parts dealers
everywhere and IMO well worth the money. I found a real improvement I drive
home down unlit lanes .Look out for the double packs and save a few quid.Not
to be confused with HID xenon projectors ( or summat like that) which
aren't a direct replacement and are feckin dear.There is a test of major
brands posted somewhere on the web but for the life of me I can't find it I
think mine were branded 30+ but there are loads to go at.

Too good. :-(
Oncoming traffic with normal headlights will struggle to see where they're
going.
If you do go for exceedingly bright lights then for the sake of all around
you get them adjusted properly. The better you can see, the worse oncoming
drivers can see.

There speaks a man driving a Series LR with sealed beams of half a candle
power each.

Not necessarily just affecting those with sealed-candle lamps , there is an
ever-increasing trend amongst youthful car owners in particular to "upgrade"
their headlights with easily obtainable HID Xenon kits, problem is, it's
illegal! It is a legal requirement under construction and use regs that
Xenon HID lights must be automatically controlled for height via sensors in
the vehicles suspension, to prevent dazzle to oncoming traffic under all
conditions. I've had it out with 2 such local "chav's" and got them to go
and have them adjusted correctly, allbeit under the threat of a damn good
kicking if they dazzled me again!!
I've also failed cars presented for MOT's with them, for incorrect beam
pattern, normally no pattern at all. Very dangerous for other road users.
I just wish the totally useless local lazy bastard pigs would actually take
an interest and do something about it instead of sitting drinking tea all
night.

Aye. Actually they're not bad headlights, just the standard non-dazzling and
well-adjusted kind.
