Headlights which ones

  1. The reflectors in my headlights are rusted and one lens is cracked. I need to replace before the next MOT. The bus is a US import LHD built 1971 first registered 1972. I'm slightly confused. On the various suppliers websites I see reference to LHD and RHD ... does this mean they are all designed for UK use but the fixing positions different between LHD/RHD?
     
  2. As far as I'm aware they're not specifically sided . Mine is a LHD Dutch import and came with LHD units which I used as I was driving it abroad . Back in Blighty I bought a second hand pair of RHD units and the only difference being the beam pattern was a RHD UK pattern , screwed them in and job done

    If in doubt just give the vendor a call ...

  4. The only difference is the glass lens which gives the LHD or RHD dip beam patterns

    VW Golf Mk1, Caddy and T2 all share the same headlamps . Plenty to choose from on eBay.

    Genuine Hella ones : well they cost a lot more than £40 these days . Volksworld 2012 , Alan Schofield..
