LHD Headlights

[The Grocer]

I'm looking for a set of LHD (European) Headlights for my 2003 '75.

I know I can buy them at rather "high prices" new, but is a bit out of my budget
currently.............

Any member with a set, or knowledge of a scraped LHD '75 please contact me....

Many thanks

I don't think the new ones are that expensive, how much are you looking to spend?

I know LHD headlights are like hens teeth.

250 Euros EACH.--

I could get you a couple of LHD MG7 headlights if you want. They are halogen, no xenon. I am not sure of the price but I think they are ab out 75 pounds each. If you are interested I'll check for you. Postage would be about 20 pounds and take a couple of weeks. All the best, JB

If they are projectors you can disassemble them and remove the pattern plate and use a dremel to flatten it off, reassemble and aim your beam lower due to less material on the pattern plate.

Had to do this a few times for RHD cars to pass the Netherlands APK.

The OP hasn't responded to any posts.
We need full info as to what he has fitted before we can give a definitive answer.

Yes you can do it with the help of a dremel. But one has to be very careful. I also did it and passed the German TÜV.

It´s only little material that one has to grind away !!!!

Anyway, this method saves a lot of money.

What type of lights are they?
If xenons, then you are looking at a bankloan.
If not, then try Le Bon Coin website, there are usually one or two on there.

Depends which station you go to I guess.---

Found this whilst ploughing through some old threads. I used to go over to France either once or twice a year for endurance racing and classic racing. When I bought my 75 on launch night it had all the toys as I had ticked every box on the order card. One of the extras I had got with the car was a full set of sat nav discs covering the whole world. So as we boarded the ferry the disc in the boot got changed over. The other extra that was a god send was the 6 headlight protectors 4 for use in the UK and 2 for the dipped beam in Europe with the offending area of the lens masked. These were great less than 30 seconds to change over and no blinding oncoming cars. The other great advantage was the protection offered to the light unit. During the years I used them I suffered 4 cracked covers caused by stone damage. It was much cheaper to replace the cover than to have to replace the full head light unit.
For some reason they never seemed to catch on. Our 75 that lived in Spain had a set fitted and passed its test every time with no problems. Sadly my health meant that the Spanish option was dropped from the options. You never know what is in front of you.

So me moving that nasty cheap looking lever at the back of the headlight every time I went to France was pointless. It looked alright against my garage wall. Chris S.
