LHD lights????

Post by chocobongo » Tue Nov 28, 2017 7:31 pm

Hi,


Has anyone ever changed the headlights to LHD Headlights?

What are your experiences?
As far as I know there are no Bongo/Freda lhd headlights available, the closest fit should be ASTRA headlights from the early nienties----- has anyone built them in ?


Thankful for all advice and idead

It has been done, but not by me, and of course I can't remember who by.

But welcome aboard. :)

There's a fact sheet in the members area of the main website about this. A guy called Mark Lycett wrote it about using Seat Ibiza headlight units. It's called "Continental Headlamps".
