Headlights. URGENT

[JCH]

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

All I could point you to is Ebay.es

Worth looking on Ebay.fr?

eBay no good just looked.my last hope is an existing member who may be able to help or advise.

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 [email protected], 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,

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]

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

Hold on a cotton picking minute, although all the suggestions are correct and accurate for "law purposes" I'm sure you can just tape up the lights, infact I saw recently some stickers on some headlights called euro something,

They stopped the beam flicking up :thumb2

that is OK for a UK car visiting France, but once you become resident then you need French stuff, Rick

I had those stickers (beam benders I seem to recall) on my T2 when I first took it to Spain - they were c**p. They reduced headlights that weren't that great anyway to candles!
Now have correctly dipping ones fitted with Nightbreakers and they're as good as any modern car (oh, and the car is 20 years old!)

I used fleabay Germany to get my Hella units, in German, called Shienwerfer, or some thing similar, quite inexpensive.
