Looking for a pair of LHD hella head lights !

[APka]

Hello everyone,

 

As stated in the title, I'm in search of a set of 2 hella headlamps that would be compatible with driving on the right side of the road. My car is a RHD UK car, and I'm getting it modified for French roads.

 

Thanks in advance,

I am happy to recommend Hella Supers, 7 inch round, use an H4 lamp and perfect for you.  They are a 1996 design, far better optics than anything from the 1970s.  I have a pair on order, should be here in a week, I can let you know the Hella part number if you like.

 

$80 each, and if you like they come with a 'city light' (4 watt) for city centers with main beam restrictions.  Common in Europe.  I sell lots of them in the US to 2002faq members.  They are designed as US SEALED BEAM replacements, so the headlight buckets may be different.

 

They are sold in Germany, you might be able to find them over there to fit a UK bucket for cheap?

I'm guessing that since it is a US supplier, that the parts are de-facto for LHD/left side of the road driving?

I'm currently searching for european specs.. :/

 

Thanks for the website advice though!

The US style sealed beam lamps will not fit into the Euro buckets. You would need a pair of US style buckets to suit the Pelican lamps.

You should be able to find a couple of LHD headlight assemblies in Germany, but, make sure the reflectors are in good shape.

For some reason RHD Euro headlight assys are available new (albeit expensive), but not, it seems, LHD assys.

 

This supplier (Cahsel) has them     http://www.bmw02.de/Illumination.58.0.html?&L=2

Driving lights are not cheap. BMW offers a complete H$ for $264 and Hella reflectors:

Wallesh has some parts:

If you're still in need, let me know and I'll take some pics of mine I can offer (Hella or Bosch). Shipping from L'Allemagne to France is about 16€ by DHL.

 

Yours,

 

Henning

So, the Bosch LHD is still available, and at $294 a real good price versus the normal suppliers.
