No, not exactly but they can be MADE to fit, with a bit of work. They're curved rather than flat lenses too. ECP don't say how they fit but we figured it out:

oh crap! Sorry, I should have checked the wiki!

Thanks Covkid! I take it no clips have been found commercially?

any ideas what the smaller ones might be?

They're inner headlights for the South African four light grill, I think you can get them from Just Kampers if they are in stock. Forty odd pounds each though.

To replace the lot would cost a few quid although you could reduce that significantly if you make up some clips for the Euro Carpart headlights, plus you can fit a wide range of other similarly sized headlights once you've made that change, without affecting the ability to fit stock ones. Fitting relays and brighter bulbs are great things to do but even they won't really give you the best light unless the reflectors are in absolutely perfect condition. Personally, if I was going to have to pay £40 a lamp, I'd simply move to the ECP style fitting but use the moden ones with LED sidelights I suggested as they're only £45 a pair and give a far better light pattern than traditional Hellas.

The ECP ones are fine by the way (albeit very basic) and improved my lighting no end but you do need to mod them to fit. They are not a straight replacement. However, they are incredibly cheap and once you've fashioned the clips (and it can be done with stiff coathanger wire at a push), they use the same adjusting screws.

No, no clips available commercially but they're not complex to make.

Yea I am just going to use the £8 quid ones and do the relay upgrade. Pricing up parts. the main headlights aren't out yet so they can last a little, unfortunately the spotlights are though! Never the cheaper ones eh!
I havent got them for practicality just looks, maybe I'll just unplug the working one before the police spot that I have one out!
