Looking for headlight units

[richgilb]

Does anyone know where to get new headlights from, mounts, trim 'n all that goes in the pop up? Sue Miller has been out of stock for 5 weeks now and I could not find any on the CN website...or am I not looking in the right place?

Cheers,
Rich

It's all 7" standard lucas (at least it is on the Elan - I can't beleive the +2 is any different), I'd go for Wipac replacement bowls in plastic becuase they are plastic and won't rust(!) and they are lighter!

I'd also go with the Wipac halogen kit

Thanks, both

I have been given an option by Holden, who sell the Wipac one with plastic bowls...do I want sidelights as part of the Wipac halogen kit? I looked through the old lens of one of themand there is no sidelight. Do I conclude correctly that I should proceed to buy without the sidelight? Or am I missing a trick here? Can't see me ever using sidelights to be honest.

Again I am certain about Elan, and only mostly sure about +2's...

The sidelights are seprate on the car and usually if I have sidelights on then the headlamps are down. So having a sidelight in the headlamp doesn't make much sense (Minis have this set up)

Having said that it doesn't really matter if it is there, so long as you are running an alternator

No sidelights in the headlights on my +2

Hi

+2 are standard 7 inch which are the same as the Mini. I got mine on here:
