Yes, it's a lovely car and my first Ac.  I could have bought one in 1990 for £14,000 but I was £13,950 short at the time.

Speaking of overriders. I own BEX389.  I am looking for a set of 4 overider brackets as mine appear too far out. Can anyone help?

Thank you very much for the reply. So, I found out there are 2 issues. One of the bulb holders on the new lights had a bad connection which is now fixed so both lights come on now with high beam. Same for the sealed beams. I will test the connections tomorrow. In any case I have ordered as a spare a DB10 unit. Just in case

Does anyone have a photo of the headlight relay? Is it the DB10 unit that could be st fault sending power to the high beam bypassing low?

Hi everyone,

I have just purchased my first AC Ace Bristol. 2 owner 30k miles from new never been restored.

I have a just broken my new toy to replace a pair of generic sealed beam lights with a beautiful pair of Lucas LeMans with 45w bulb.  After installing the driver's side light I tested it and it worked. Once I clicked full beam, both stopped working. Now, I the lights only seem to work on full besm only.  I checked the fuses in the little lucas square fuse box and all is ok.  I'm guessing I overloaded a tired relay and it is now bypassing regular beam and only works on full. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If it is the relay, i'm not sure which one. There are a couple under the bonnet and one under the dash.

Best Regards,
