yuo may find its easier to replace the just the lens if they are bust - rather then sourcing a whole unit.

So could you take a lens from another 7" light and replace?

Probably. Otherwise, you need to look for Bosch type 7" headlamps

Speak to " reck " he will more than likely have some and he's fairly close.

Recks headlights off his old 316 are not in the best condition if these are the ones you were thinking of nas.....just looked at them and one is totally shot with almost no chrome showing just flakes rattleing arround behind the glass and the other has a small rust blister at the bottom which might make a ok stop gap until a better one come along...if reck is interested in selling the better one i could take it to work with me one day as i work in preston on havelock street (central preston) and visit the office each morning at 7.30 am ..edd..

Yeah those ones I was thinking of. I think an mot pass is if your headlights are not cracked and level?

I can probably loan a pair for MOT but haven't got spares I'd want to part with permanently.

Re: Need Headlamps for MOT pass..... URGENT!!!
Just wondering if there are any alternate headlights on the market? If not a loan of some would be great till i find some. How far are we apart? Jonny
