were can I buy new headlights ? I have single headlights on my e21.

I was looking for these too, but couldn't find any at a sensible price new, I found some NOS ones but they were something like £300for a pair, and it was just one pair. For whatever reason these bosch units seem to be unique to the 4 cyl E21's, unlike the Hella's on 6 cyl cars which are shared with capri, Scirocco, and a few others.

I gave up trying to find good used ones, and instead came accross a new pair of Hella lamps on a mk1 golf in the breakers. I took the mounting frames too, and modified the E21 frames to match the mounting pattern of the golf lamps, and swapped the adjustment screws over to the new lamps. They're the same 7" diameter, and unless you know what to look for you'd never know they weren't original.




stupidly, I was in such a rush to get the things on the car, I never took the pics of the process, but I could walk you through it if you went this route.

this could be just what I am after. I'm guessing this is what i would need -

I got new LHD ones and flipped them over.
