View Full Version : Round headlight wanted ASAP

Just wondering if anyone out there has a single round headlight lying around that they would be willing to sell off. I really need to get the Jade back on the road asap and the headlight that I've got has cracks in the glass and the back piece that contains all wiring is pretty unrepairable. Any size should be ok as long as it's not too, too huge. (The mounts are broken at the mo so I can't measure the width).

I've checked Buckets'n'Bits but they don't have anything at the mo, and I'll ring the other (non-Wgtn) wreckers on Mon, but if anyone on here has one that would be awesome!

Posh Tourer :P

If you get really desparate, try the left hand headlight off an old Bedford or something similar. The glass is still dipped the right way (unlike the right hand side). You'd then just need to fix it on somehow....

Hey Velox i got one lying around it was the orignal one tht came off the TL, before the beull, high low beam, complete unit, chromed up to the max, you'd just need to buy brackets, or use your exsisting ones.

And then you can get your wheels chromed and ................ bling

Thanks LB and Quasi! In theory my brother's just picked up one off Frosty so I should be sorted, but the offers are very much appreciated.

LB - you had a single round headlight on your TL???! When I was up last it was the normal set up, was this some mongrel look that it had post-crash and before its current pair?
Btw - the Jade's already bling mate cause it's got red handle bars now!!! :2thumbsup
