Wanted UK spec headlights

[slammedresto]

Wanted UK spec headlights to convert my US import once it arrives

anyone got any? or know best place to get em new

Heritage was where i got mine.

My van had the later sealed beam units fitted rather than UK spec units. I think this was standard for the USA market.

If so just buy the RHD sealed beam units.

I've pasted the page from the heritage website.

Mine were picture number 12.

Hope this helps.

I bought the Halogen units from Heritage. They do some quite cheap ones. The shape isn't exactly the shame, but the price was good I recall.

Just campers do them for £40 including bulbs, they worked great on mine. They aren't exactly the same as the originals.

I have also been told that Mk 2 golf ones work, so get down to your scrappy?

I bought some second hand Golf ones. They fit straight on and you get a halogen upgrade plus sidelights. Got mine £5 the pair :wink:

I got mine from GSF. I went in and explained I was replacing some sealed beam US ones for the MOT and they offered me two qualities - Bosch and Acme (or whatever). I took the cheap ones and was on my way.
I returned the following day as they were without bulbs - "Yeah, no bulbs in the cheapos" the guy told me.

Thats some useful point of sale information they 'could' have told me! :lol:
