Is this in early or late bay front headlamp?

[ruth11]

Hi

Can anyone tell me if this is an early bay or later front headlamp please? If you need pics of a specific part of the light, please let me know. These are what I have for now. We need to replace them and we don't know what we should be buying!

The only other thing I have been told to add is that the headlamp ring has only one screw hole....

Thanks
Ruth

Thanks - makes sense as ours is a US import early bay!

Now, hubby says what is he supposed to do about our side lights?! They're in the indicators so shine orange... (Have no idea how this thing got an MOT when it first got here, but we need to get another one soon, hence trying to get it right!)

If you source some late bay headlights that aren't a sealed beam, they should have provision for a side light

Hmm... that sounds too easy. Wonder why my hubby asked that if it's that easy?! I will investigate - when he gets out of bed!
Thanks

Right, hubby woke up and confirmed that we don't have 2 bulbs in our indicators. And our lenses are actually orange.

Apparently to replace those for clear 2 bulb versions is more expensive and more hassle than switching to the 2 bulb headlamp, so it looks like that's what we'll do.

Thanks for all the help
