Help identify 3 or 1 screw headlamps

[DorothyMantooth]

Hi Folks,

I recently imported a LHD 1070 Westy. I am switching the lights for RHD compliance but I am having difficulties identifying whether I have 3 or 1 screw units? I assume they are 3 screw but want to be doubly sure before I go and order the wrong kit.

Here are a couple of pictures I took late last night.

don`t want to state to obvious but if you look at the outer chrome ring it will have either one fixing screw and two adjusting screws (3 screws ) or it will have one fixing screw (1 screw)

Thanks Lhu.

Silly question but the outer chrome ring is the ring that attaches to the van right?

The Chrome ring that I removed only has one fixing screw (on the right hand side). The unit inside was fitted with 3 screws - hence my confusion.

Early headlights have three screws in the chrome surround, two for adjustment and one holding the unit in place. The surround and unit come away as one piece. Later headlights have one screw in the chrome surround which holds just the surround, when you take that off, the headlight unit is held by three screws.

Thanks BrotherNumberOne! That clears it up.

Must get a few pictures up of the van. How do I embed photos? I tried the
