Where can i buy new pre facelift lights?
Moderator: martauto
Hi all, i have a pre facelift 1987 Cabby and its just being re-sprayed etc and looking for some new headlights, ideally smoked.... i can only find facelift versions... any ideas on where i may be able to buy some? If not some clear ones but not Angel Eyes.... Thanks in advance
Put a bit of effort in and refurb yours- get the casings bead blasted and powder coated, clean up or new ajusters etc from Bmw, sand and re paint the backs of the lamps, and glass Polish kit £10 from ebay , come up good as new and a satisfiing job
Looking for pre-facelift outer/main beams too. The reflectors seem corroded. Making them look smoked

It might be easier to find a place that renovates lights. They'll replace the rear reflector part, clean the lens and polish up the glass. Mine cost me about 120 quid for the pair.

Have been asking around for someone who can look at the reflector, with no luck.
Have asked the good people at Cotswold for a quote.

I found a guy in Germany does replacement lights complete with carriers and angel eyes for around £140 a set , only thing you have to do before you fit them is loosen 3screws on the lamps and turn them to change from lh drive to rh drive , easy change over if you want to do continental trips as well
