LHD headlamps

Post by andy5 »

Hi

I hope I won't upset anyone if my first post is in here. I'm a member on the French car forum, but I didn't get interest there and this seems to be a better place for this

I have a pair of left hand drive headlamps which fit the later shape BX front.

They were used on my 1989 turbo diesel BX, supplied secondhand by a German dealer during a temporary accident repair, and then replaced with UK ones when I got home

Then I swapped them in for occasional trips abroad, and although the car is now long gone I still have them here in boxes.

If anyone would like these for the same reason I don't expect to get actual money for them, just the cost of a courier to ship them.

Yes, they just clip on to those sort of ball ended studs, change over in a few minutes, no adjustment needed

Mind you, I didn't actually swap them at Dover, just taped over the sloping part of the dip on the LHD ones for the UK part of the trip
