I suppose it depends on the age of your 694. Ours is 1990 LDH, and therefore the oblong shape, and we treated ourselves to new headlights which we purchased from O'Leary's. All headlights lose their reflective backing over time - ours are now fantastic. We changed to "RHD" lights which were what O'Leary's had in stock at the time which means everytime we cross the channel we have to fit reflectors!

My 694 is a 2001 RHD and it has 4 of the small round headlights, The main beam is ok, but the dipped lights seem to have a centre lens which defuse's the light

Andy, have you considered fitting an HID conversion from the likes of

I haven't fitted these personally but have witnessed the results on another vehicle. The difference is staggering. A significant investment I realise, but you wont be disappointed.

is it lhd. the beam will be more central as lhd don't dip left or right.
Just a post to correct this statement which is a misleading. Headlight beams on most LHD vehicles deflect to the right on dipped beam just the same as they deflect to the LHS on most RHD vehicles.
I had them checked at an MOT station and the were correctly set, also checked the bulb was correct, an H1 12V 55W. I have to say that they are so bad that the only way I can see the road is by the lights of the oncoming traffic.
Also thank's to Dave, I will check them out!

hello ,
can i just say ! when you have your headlight , checked for allignment , an mot station will tell you that every thing is o,k, because it most probably is , in fact i would say it is , BUT what you do not know is that the mot cannot say what strength the light given on the road is , this cannot be given , because when you check for alignment the light is shown through a magnifyed lense to see and set the pointers . for road use .so they will be correct . but can fail light strength . i think the 694 is a fiat some are if it is a fiat find out what model the chassis is the engine will say what model is used . and the chassis number will tell you which model . when you know which it is look for used head lights from say a breaker perhaps but british spec , make sure the reflector is good and fit them . this will sort this out . then you can up the wattage H being the 1 to look for ,
all the best , denton.
