LHD Headlamps?

[swindorski46]

I need to get some left hand drive headlamps for my 97 cooper, as we now live in Germany.

I've seen numerous different styles of lamps, at hugely varying prices.

Obviously I need to buy the specific motorised levelling ones to be correct, but seeing as thats a pretty useless function, and they seem to be considerably more expensive, which others, if any, would fit?

Thanks,

Joe.

My advice would be to pop in to a scrapyard, if germany is anything like france they are full of mini's!

Failing that, the golf/polo lights fit from memory but you have to cut some brackets off the back of them.

Yes I'd heard that too, I tried it a while ago.......don't bother it's a job creation scheme, total waste of time and they still don't fit properly!

Lol fair enough!

I can get hold of brand new ones no problem, my point is that I don't want to spend about 5 times more than I have to just to get the specific 'Twin Point' ones.

For example, there are Quadoptics, H4s, Wipac, Cibies, Lucas, etc, etc, will they all fit?

Its just that I can't see the three screw plates on alot of the pictures.

Which ones are not worth bothering with?

Thanks.

If you buy the lamps and the lamp holders then you should be able to fit them in to your headlight buckets no problems.

Just make sure if it is a vacuum line to adjust the lights you block the end up.

where in Germany do live?

[swindorski46]

Elmpt, just north of Duss, not too far from you in fact!

Düsseldorf isn´t that far, right

In Düsseldorf there is a Limora-shop at the Meilenwerk they should have the parts you need.
Just 5 minutes walking for my home there is an other specialist for mini-parts, called Kischka.
