Hiya
Anybody got any suggestions for sourcing a headlight for a 186 GPZ900?
Current headlight from Europe and refelector sends beam the wrong way so can't get a WOF :no:
Near to Hawkes Bay or Palmie best.

I think the first model Toyota MR2 light fits.

the GPZ900 headlight is universal to all GPZ900's and the gpz750 (900lookalike) -if that helps

I've got the standard bulb from a '87 GPz900 if you want it?

Also I think early L300 van ones fit. Take the light along to repco and see what they have.

Thanks for the offer:2thumbsup: the problem is the reflector in the headlight itself. From Europe so dips the wrong way and apparently will blind oncoming cages !!!!
I think the whole headlight unit needed.
