Best budget headlamp upgrade for a Mahindra Thar: Hella 7" Seal Beam

They are a direct fit and offer a better throw. However, the best part is they are only Rs 550 a piece.

BHPian Jaguar recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

If someone wants to upgrade the Thar headlights on a budget, look no further than Hella 7" sealed beams. These retro-looking reflectors are a direct fit and the throw from the Austrian-made lens is much better than stock. The best part, it just costs Rs 550 odd a piece. While at it, I added a Hella wiring kit as well, so that I can easily upgrade the bulbs to 100/90 at a later date if required. Have not seen these available online and I bought them from a Hella dealer in Chennai.

Here's what BHPian Kosfactor had to say on the matter:

The clarity of this lens and reflector is amazing, I`m happy with normal 60/55W bulbs in this, the spread and reach of the beam are very nice.

Here's what BHPian batish had to say on the matter:

Could you please share the part number? Also, how really is it different? In comparison to the OEM ones, Is glass different or the reflectors?

One more thing, did you check this one too? Hella 958307011 7-inch Round LED Headlamp with DRL Low Beam -35w.

BHPian Jaguar replied:

The part number is 327.076-031. The lens is different and says Made in Austria. There are many models in 7" sealed beams but I was told to go for this particular model with imported glass by someone who was already using it. So, didn't experiment with other models. Plus, I wanted halogens to keep the stock look.

What you have shared seems to be priced at Rs 49k. Mine costs 1/100 of that.
