Whilst installing my engine, I stepped over my front suspension and managed to put my steel topcapped size nine right through one of my headlights !!

Am having difficulty sourcing a new sealed headlight unit .... Westfield say they dont do the "large" (7" ?) old style headlights any more, and Halfords didn't have a clue (suprise).

I'm going to try my motor factors tonight, but has anyone any idea what the sealed beam units used on a 1990 Westfield was from ? Some Ford ?

Ta y'all

Standard Lucas item IIRC.

Is it chrome? If not I may have two spare in my garage which you are welcome to.

Also try - www.vehicle-wiring-products.co.uk/VWPweb2000/lights-1/lights-1.html

They are the ones used in Land Rovers (90/110, I can assure you of that)

If you're going to your motor factors if you ask for a mini unit (proper mini) that might make things easier.

The headlight trim, round the outside of (and attached to, with a couple of spring clips) the sealed beam unit itself is chrome, the back dome is just painted metal ....... ?

That what you mean ? Like this ...

Yup, same ones as what I had.

Bear with me a second I'll nip to the garage and see if I have all the bits.

Is it just the front bit you need?

If so I have 2 of them so you are welcome to them/it.

I was about to email you then say "Graham, you've got mail !" but then I remembered that the poxy Royal Mail email system has been down all day and I can't !

Yes, I just need the front bits (the glass units basically) .... I'll email you tonight regarding how much you want for them etc

Result, cheers !

(edited to say, well actually I only need one, the one I put my foot through but if you want to sell them as a pair I understand)

To be quite honest, Nev you'd be doing me a favour, I'm so scared of running the damn things over everytime I move the car in and out of the garage as they're resting along the wall at the side and it's a bit tight.

They're taking up space of which I have precious little in the garage

I'd be quite happy to take payment of a ride in the 'rarri though

We'll sort something out tonight though

Cheers

Graham


Edited to make it make sense
