Default AU XR High Beam - 5 1/2" OR 5 3/4"?

As above, does anyone know for sure what diameter the high beam headlight is?

Not sure, but to avoid breaking one from rocks etc in future, try Liteskinz - they are great!

Yeah, I think it was you who put me onto Liteskinz for the driving lights in the Brumby bar. Excellent stuff, well worth the price.

I've noticed a crack in the lens of one of my xr hi beams (don't think it was there when I bought them but may have been) so I'm thinking of adapting an aftermarket head light insert (landing light type) to suit.

Shouldn't be too difficult to rig up something to allow adjusters but I'm buggered if I can get in there to measure the lights accurately.

So, question remains.... anyone got one that they can measure accurately for me?

I will have a pair of XR high and low beams for sale soon. Passenger side low beam has a massive crack in it and drivers side low beam it a bit dirty inside, but both the high beams are fine. PM if interested.

Thanks for that.
I'm interested to see if I can easily modify an aftermarket light but if I end up putting a hammer into it I'll be in touch

Thanks for the measurements Whoosha. At least I know what to chase up. I'll probably look for lights, as well...
