There are two types of side light/head light unit, bulb holders.

Believe round 89-90, bayonet bulbs were replaced with capless type, and the holders are not interchangeable with the two types of headlight units.

Bayonet type - push fit, with fitted O ring seal.
Capless type - push-in, then twist to lock, with floating O ring seal.

Regards

Just to put persons out of there misery thinking its either the wing side-repeater/indicator or front indicator or even the sidelight within the headlight unit as I initially thought it may have been too !

It's actually the rear lamp cluster/assembly bulb holder which carries the five bulbs on it he's after (But it was obviously difficult to decipher that from the wanted posting).
I've PM'd 'blink' 3 times now and we are in the process of working out which one he need's as the bulb holders are not compatible between different manufacturers (i.e. Valeo, Siema etc.) even though the basic exterior looks the same.
I've looked through my stock of spares and found four different types so far

So hopefully when he sends me a photo shot of the rear-side of the lamp I can help him out

.
Unless it's easier just to send him a complete unit but that's down to him as he lives in Malta !
