Headlights. URGENT

JCH · 05-11-2014, 17:59

Has anyone by any chance got a pair of European headlights that they could sell me.
My car has come up for its MOT here in France and they insist on French Or European headlights before they will pass it.It is right hand dave with of course UK headlights.
I have a 2003 Terrano 2.7 LWB.
Or can any one point me in the right direction where I might be able to purchase.
I know this is a long shot but worth a try.
Thanks in advance
Jon

scrap yards in france I would have thought should be able to supply, in the UK a very large number of them have got together and sort of pool their parts so you search one place and any yard that has your bits gets in touch, might have similar in France? Rick

I have used this site. It seems to have a good coverage.

However I think the chances of you finding a European headlight in a UK breakers is very unlikely. Best of luck

Dial 4 parts is one, 0208552111 or email dial4parts@hotmail.co.uk, but I would think you would be better looking at French or Europe dealers as they will have your required lights, most UK dealers will be breaking UK cars, not a lot of use to you, Rick

Try looking on Leboncoin,French site that sells everything.If your French is ok(if not use google translate) to name the parts,type in what you're after,under cars and make it all of France that should help.I've been able to trace parts for my Patrol via this site as well as e-bay UK.Hope this helps,
Clive.

UK spec headlights will be the same as you have now

is the tester wanting you to fit LHD lights so the beam pattern is correct for driving on the wrong side of the road if this is the case i'd look on the spanish or german ebay

Terranical · 05-11-2014, 23:44

As Sweety said, try eBay-de (Germany) I've got parts from there before and they seem to be bit cheaper than the UK. Never had any luck with eBay-es (Spain) though, there never seems to be anything much available.

Private Message and Reply to a thread are both the same, click on the paperclip icon and add your image, most problems come from size, they need to be low resolution the details are given before you upload, Rick
