Headlight for 400SE

[Hoopy400]

Anyone have any idea where the rectangular headlights on a 400 came from, or where I can get a replacement lens ? Many thanks

I did hear that they were from an SE Metro...Although I cannot confirm as I dont own a 400SE....(Yet)...

is it broken or because the shiney bit has corroded

[Hoopy400]

Silvering is fine and the lens is intact. Car failed MOST due to beam pattern on N/S light. Cannot see a problem with the lens, but the beam pattern is off

MOT !

Can you not change the beam pattern using the headlight adjusters? To be honest they are not the best but it made a difference to mine at the MOT.

Maybe try cleaning it?

[Hoopy400]

Unfortunately the lens is really clean. Wish it were that simple. Can’t even see what the problem with the lens is. Even the garage is stumped. May have to try to find some similar size lights and make up a new mounting plate.

Maybe the bulb is a bit squiffy, the focus very much depends on the positioning of the filament.
Try a new bulb?

If the lens is ok and the reflector is ok, then surely it must be the bulb

I'm not sure about being metro, they look more like delorean ???

If it’s clean and not damaged try a new bulb not a cheap one get a lucus or ring I find it a lot when testing have to move bulbs around or change them

I have a 400. They are not metro. They are Renault/Jeep fitment Valeo part no 082397/2370013 and I think this is with or without sidelight variation.

I can confirm the Valeo unit 5270013 will fit but has a sidelight hole.

Has anyone tried LED equivalents?

These ones look promising:

then even have an "E" mark on them, for what it's worth....
