Headlamps

Postby RogerPorter » Tue Feb 21, 2012 2:09 pm

The Super E's headlamps are looking a bit corroded (very in the case of the OS one) and probably an MoT failure.
I've looked at AEP and Eurocarparts but nothing listed and it seems you now have to register with GSF to check their stock list online. I'll check my local motor factor who can be pretty helpful but i don't hold out much hope. I had thought of trying to pick something up at Citromobile but they'd probably be LHD!
So .... any ideas where to source lamps, does anybody have any for sale or is it possible to adapt a C15 lamp (i don't think so but i'm sure someone will confirm that).
Thanks in advance

...your lucky day Roger. I know someone who has a N/S new for £30 or a N/S used for £15, also he knows where to get an O/S new for £35 plus some p&p. Let me know and I will PM you the contact details. :D

Thanks for the help Mike.
Two new headlamps have been ordered from Malcolm Lockwood and expected to be here next week, well in time for its MoT :D

Bloomin' typical :roll:

However, consoling myself that £20 is only the starting price and there may be a 9 day bidding war, but more importantly, i've given the business to a supporter of old Citroens and the CCC.

Two new headlamps have arrived from Malcolm and look lovely :D

Must get a 'before and after' photo to show how bad one of the reflectors had become in quite a short time.

£65 for the pair. Rather more than the pair sold on eBay but that's life! :roll:
